William J. Wiley died of a gunshot wound in the right lung which occurred at the Battle of Gettysburg. He was with Company H 11th Regiment, Georgia Infantry. He was transferred to the Provost Marshal in November 1863 and transferred to the York hospital in Pennsylvania from Gettysburg. He died on January 2, 1864.

I cannot seem to locate his grave or tombstone. If one missing Confederate who died of wounds at Gettysburg in 1864 is missing I wonder how many more may be missing at this particular time period. His death was recorded in the Baltimore Sun newspaper as well as Miss Lillian Henderson's book and also on fold 3.com.

His name may have been misspelled on his tombstone if he has one and that may be the reason why I can't find him. I don't know of a Confederate Cemetery in York, PA but one may exist. I understand a lot of the dead Confederates were taken to Hollywood Cemetery after the war to Richmond, Virginia.

If anyone knows of the missing Confederate in question I would be grateful.
