William T. Sherman
A2: Memphis, TN

Edit - The first of the two indicated sources states clearly that Sherman's son died in Memphis.

The second does not. The "Chattanooga" section says that Sherman's family traveled from Ohio to visit him at the camp near Vicksburg, and that Willie, the "Little Sergeant," died from typhoid fever contracted during the trip. It doesn't say that he died at Vicksburg, but it doesn't say that he died in Memphis, either. Vicksburg is the only city mentioned in the brief account of his death.

Because of the ambiguity, I am accepting Vicksburg as an answer to the second part of the question.
