The August 1862 death date occurred before the 36th was joined with the Army of Tennessee. They were assigned to the 2nd Bde. of the Western Division, Department of the Gulf. Their duty station was at Choctaw Bluff on the Alabama and Oven Bluff on the Tombigbee. The February death date happened at either Choctaw or Oven Bluff also. The unit did not move from these places until April 1863. From these locations, I would suspect that Mt. Vernon would have been more easily accessed than Mobile in times of illness but I have no details to support. However, the rivers would have been an available corridor to Mobile, some 50 miles distant.
