Trivia Master's Birthday is this weekend so you get a bonus!

Birthday Bonus:
I was born in Washington county Pennsylvania in 1821. I was a private in Company B, 73rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. On July 2, 1863 I was mortally wounded during the battle of Gettysburg. That night my cries of pain were such that it inspired a Musician to crawl out and drag me to safer ground earning him a Medal of Honor. I died on July 10, 1863 and I am now buried in the 4th row, 4th from the right grave in the Ohio section of the Gettysburg's Soldiers' National Cemetery.

In July 1953, I was honored by having my famous Great Grandson visit my gravesite. I invite you to visit my grave on your next Gettysburg visit.

Who am I and who is my famous Great Grandson?
