Thank you for the information on him.

He missed the bad winter of '63/'64 at Rock Island, so I wonder why he died?
He was captured in June and died in October so I would rule out any winter sickness and doesn't seem to be the lingering result of a battle injury.
Anything in his records to indicate cause of death?
