He was last paid June 30, 1862 where they were located at Columbus, Miss. He was recorded present August 30 when they were located at Satallio. However, he was not paid which would indicate to me that his presence was marked in error. On the October 30 muster roll, when they were located near Waterford, he was listed as absent in hospital, later corrected when they were informed that he had died October 20, no place stated.

He very well may have been hospitalized somewhere in the Columbus area, where he subsequently died. Lauderdale Springs would not be out of the question.
