In case I did not mention it, I checked the site out, how ever as they have Henry there, he is listed as a PVT and the muster book shows him a corporal.  But I found 61 Matney in there wow !!

  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.
