He was captured at Missionary Ridge Nov. 25, 1863. He was sent to Rock Island POW Camp, IL December 9, 1863.

CICERO C. MCNEAL - Private 6th Arkanas Infantry Co. D - Enl 17 Jul 1861 at Arkadelphia, AR Died 30 Jun 1862 in hospital at Macon, MS.
If they lived in Arkadelphia, Walker County, ALABAMA in 1860 census, would one of the brothers have enlisted in Jasper, Walker County AL and one brother enlisted in Arkadelpha, AR? I would like to know more about this Cicero McNeal.
Thank you.
