Charlene,

I'm working on the project attempting to identify the unit ID of some 1600.

Today, I came across a youngster who enlisted April 11, 1862, by June he was in a hospital in Richmond down with typhoid fever. He died July 13, three months on entering service.

From what I'm finding, there were a lot of deaths in the Army of Northern Virginia due to typoid fever in the spring of 1862.

It's worthy of note, that about 2/3's of CW deaths were due to diesease, not battle related. And that is true of both sides in the conflict.
