He has a rather large file, some 67 cards, a large number being pay vouchers, requisitions, etc. These are interesting in that his location, rank, numbers of men in his unit, etc. are shown. These may be procured through the service noted in the Red enclosed box above.

I do not know if there is a tombstone in his name at Vicksburg, and if spelled correctly and unit ID identified. You need to contact the folks at the Vicksburg Military Park to authenticate.

I have not had the time to determine the engagement in which he died. Believe it would have been close to the siege line, North of the Jackson Road.

2nd Battalion, Alabama Light Artillery

2nd Artillery Battalion was formed at Mobile, Alabama, in Janaury, 1862, with five companies; later reduced to three. It was attached to the Department of the Gulf, and after January, 1864, the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. The unit was stationed at or near Mobile throughout the war, and participated in the conflicts at Forts Gaines and Morgan, Spanish Fort, and Fort Blakely. With 64 officers and men it surrendered on May 4, 1865. Lieutenant Colonel James H. Hallonquist was in command.

SECOND BATTALION OF ARTILLERY

Battery A of this battalion, under the command of Capt. Stephen
Charpentier, served in the defenses of Mobile until the spring
of 1863, when it was attached to General Featherstone's
brigade, and afterward did service in Mississippi, known as
Charpentier's battery.

Battery C served in General Hebert's brigade and lost heavily
at the siege of Vicksburg, where its captain, T. K Emanuel, was
killed. The remnant of the battery continued to serve under
the command of Capt. John D. Haynie in the army of Mobile until
the surrender.

Battery E seems to have served continuously under the command
of Capt. J. B. Hutchisson, at or near Mobile.
