Lt. Jerome Bishop’s Illinois muster record states “Killed March 16, 1864 at Ft. Derussay, Louisiana.” This would seem to imply that his death was the result of enemy action but it was not.

Jerome Bishop, born in 1833 in New York, was by 1862, living in Murphysboro and working as a carpenter. He had married John A. Logan’s first cousin, Louisa Ann Garner, in 1857 and the couple had a 3-year-old daughter.
