[or-roots] Rogers I made an error

Recently my son and I located a Civil War headstone on  private property in 
Baker Co. for a great grand uncle. It too had no date, just  rank and 
company. I sent a photo of it to David Samuelson and he located from  NARA (I 
think) a card showing the same information plus a date. Why it was not  on the 
stone is a mystery. The govt. supplied CW headstones from about 1864 to  
1903 and this one was on the pinkish side. My grandson, who had recently  
finished a five year enlistment with the OR Ntl Guard recognized it as a  
military headstone as soon as he saw the photo we took. If you have Ancestry you  
can see a copy of the card by searching for James FitzJames Cooper (J.F.J.  
COOPER on the headstone). His is the last card shown.

I made an error.
Its been so long since I saw the headstone  picture I thought it was I.O.F.
Wrong - my applogies.
Its
O.O.F.
 
All it says on the stone is his name, O.O.F. and  44 wis.inf.
thats where I had the memory that I thought was  1844.
SO now that I found this, the only thing I dont  know is why no death date?
Why no records of the burial if there is a stone  and how do I find out any 
thing more?
The picture is 18kb if any one wants a  copy.
