Couldn't find any Muster Records at fold3 or NPS.

You're good, bdtex. Great job. Thanks all for your efforts.

Hello from Missouri. Any chance of seeing a photo?

Here's a photo: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=plouffe&GSiman=1&GScid=91541&GRid=150458206&

If anyone finds birth/death dates I can add them to the Find-a-Grave site. Note: the cemetery administrator does not have those dates.

Interestingly I found him on a 1900 census record giving a birth date of Mar 1878 which would make him solely a Span. Am. war vet only. The stone sure looks like what is used for Civil War vets, though. I guess similar stones were used for both. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M31X-PSQ

Working for his local church I found mention of his death in July 1907 which lead me to his death certificate: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11814-111265-74?cc=1463156&wc=MJCR-DP8:1043019001

Your work stimulated mine.
