12th Ark Infantry

I have a question. A great uncle Patrick Henry Bryant, 2nd Lt, Co F, 12th Ark Inf, listed as 'absent' Oct 1863. According to his widow's pension application filed in 1909, he escaped Island # 10 and somehow returned home to Dallas Co, AR where he died of an illness 4 Jun 1862. My question is: Are there any further mentions of this soldier that anyone may be aware of? Since scurvy was a common ailment, I am assuming that could have been what got him. His grave is located in Bryant Cemetery, Dallas Co. AR near Fordyce. Thanks for any help.
