Leslie,

I would like to know more details so I can attempt to piece together what happened to your ancestor. There are no such lists of people killed such as the kind you mentioned except perhaps local ones.

What was the date of your ancestor's attack? Where in Cass County did this take place? You mentioned the Dayton cemetery, which is in southeast Cass County. Was he attacked near Dayton, or somewhere else? What was Ben Simpson doing when he was killed? Was Simpson a northern or southern sympathizer? Did her serve in the military on either side before he was killed? If so, what unit? Any details you can give might just help something to click with one of the readers.
