      !DEATH: During the Civil War, "he was confined in the prison on Belle Isle for six months, from there taken to Libby Prison, thence to Andersonville, Georgia. He suffered all the horrors of that prison with thirty thousand other Union prisoners who had unfortunately fallen under the inhuman treatment of the fiend Wirtz, until July, 1864, when he died a victim of starvation. He was buried in what was then an abandoned cotton field with fourteen thousand other boys in blue who shared the same fate. Their place of sepulchre is now the beautiful Andersonville National Cemetery, where, on each recurring Decoration Day the Sons of Veterans of Massachusetts place a small United States flag at the head of each of the fourteen thousand graves." --W.R. Cutter.
