I suspect he may have been age 50 and was caught up with the Conscription Act which age limit was raised from age 45 to 50 early 1n 1864. Caught a "Camp Disease" soon after enlisting and died soon thereafter. I would believe he would have been buried in the Richmond Hollywood Cemetery, however, I do not find his name in the burial list I located. His remains also may have been returned home, however, this is not certain as many unknowns are buried at Hollywood.

The McKenzie House record is only a Regimental or Company report, recording that his name appeared on the roster sometime during the period noted.
