Re: GSA Charlottesville Hospital

His records indicate he died December 4, 1861 at General Hospital No. 12, Richmond, Virginia. However, I believe his regiment was located in the Centreville area.

This being the case, I suspect he would be buried at either the Hollywood or Oakwood cemeteries in the city of Richmond.

"The greater part of the autumn of 1861 was spent by the Eighth Regiment in the vicinity of Mason’s and Munson’s Hills, six or eight miles in front of Washington city. At the latter place we were often sent on picket, and besides having a plain view of the dome of the United States Capitol, we could hear the music of the drums and bands of the enemy at Alexandria. About October we were returned to Centerville, and shortly afterwards established winter quarters on the banks of Bull Run, by building comfortable temporary houses. Here also our ranks were visited by sickness, mostly typhoid fever, and some were sent off to hospitals never to return. Nothing of note occurred since the Manassas battle in the way of fighting, save an occasional attack by the enemy’s cavalry on a picket line, but none of the Volunteers were disturbed thereby."
