His obit states that he was an Indian Scout. It also says that they were Cherokee Indians. The 1930 Census shows them both as Cherokee Indians. I have not obtained his service records as they are cost prohibitive to me. My interest her is that he be recognized as a civil war veteran. I am the graves registration officer for the Carlin Camp #25 of the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War. I want to make sure the information is accurate to be placed in our data Base.
