Eugene,

I had given up on this one and thrown my hardcopy in the trash when two days later I came upon the answer while reading Lilburn A. Kingsbury's "A Chance to Fight" in the recent publication of South Howard County Historical Society's "Stories of Howard County Missouri." On pages 128 and 140 Kingsbury tells that CPT James Chorn was mildly wounded at the Bald Prairie fight near Neosho in Newton County during Price's November 1864 retreat from Missouri. Chorn's wound became infected and later took his life. One of the two Kingsbury accounts mistakenly states "Houstonia" when I believe he meant "Newtonia." This correlates with the 10 Nov 1864 fight near Neosho in Newton County which you can read at least in "O.R." series 1, volume 41, part 1, I would guess. CPT Chorn's actual date of death was probably November 18 when he succumbed to the infection of his wound.
