Rank unknown

Co M, 7 Regt W VA CAV Died November 3, 1902 I have a photograph of his tombstone. He is buried just off McCorkle Rd., Sod, WV. To reach the burial ground, take US 119 to the McCorkle Rd. exit, drive just to where you see the first house on your left. The cemetery is on the knoll this side and above this house. As far as I know, it is not kept up. The person living in the first house on your left is a descendant of his. There are a few other graves here.
