Oliver P Henderson - 1st Sergeant
|
Oliver is my Great Great uncle and he was a 1st Sgt. in the 85th PA Infantry. Oliver contracted Typhoid fever during the Peninsula Campaign and died at Camden Military Hosp. in Baltimore in May of 1862. His military records claim he was buried in Loundon Park cemetery in Baltimore. I have been to Loundon Park and they claim Oliver was never buried there. One of my goals in life is to locate his grave. Oliver was from Claysville in Washington Co., PA. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Oliver Morgan Long - Sergeant
|
Oliver was my 2 great grandfather and died of a fever while on a train to the hospital at White House Landing. I have no idea where he is buried. He wrote a letter to his wife that was printed in the paper in Pennsylvania while in the service about the Bloody 85th.
