John Monthey - Private
John Monthy/Monthey was taken prisoner at Brice's Crossroads and
died at Andersonville prison in Georgia. For some unknown reason, his grave marker was replaced with the name of another member of his company who never set foot in Andersonville! I am trying to find out why this happened. Any info would be helpful.
