No, there's no mention of which hospital he died in, but since his death took place between June 30 and August 31, 1862, he more than likely died of disease in Mississippi -- Arkansas soldiers were sent to hospitals all over central Mississippi during that time, due to measles, diptheria, dysentery, and other diseases associated with bad water, bad food, and general unsanitary camp conditions.
