we located where in Jan and Feb 1865 he was sick in the
hospital at Hempstead Tx. He is to have died 2-1865. So
far we have not located where he was buried. His family lived in Tarkington Prairie, Liberty Co, TX and his wife and other family are buried in McGinnis Cemtery in Liberty Co TX. However, no record can be found that his body was returned to his home.
Family information has said he died before making it home, so from what we can find he died in Hempstead.
Anyone who may can provide any information as to where soldiers who died in Hempstead Confederate Hospital 1865 and buried in the area, please contact us. We appreciate your help

Recently reviewed documents when Pricilla West Tarkington got Confederate Script for 1280 acres of land stated in her own words he died in Hempstead Texas February 1865. So we now know for sure where he died, but not buried.
Another article recently discovered said some property at Hempstead for burial of solders, however no names have been located other than a few that were Union. Possibility he was buried there/
