Roll Title Selected Records of the War Department Relating to Confederate Prisoners of War, 1861-1865

Charles served as a Confederate soldier in the US Civil War. He was captured and died while he was being held at a POW Camp Morgan. War records show his date of death as January 2, 1865. Confederate Pension Application Form gives December 1864 as when he died.

"Approximately 1,700 prisoners died between 1862 and 1865 while incarcerated at Camp Morton. The death rate ran close to 20% of those imprisoned, with estimates of at least 9,000 prisoners having passed through the gates during its? 25 months of operation. Local newspapers regularly printed the names of prisoners who died, though often they were listed as ?unknown.? Their wooden coffins were placed in trenches in City Cemetery, later to be renamed Greenlawn Cemetery. The original gravesites were marked with wooden headboards bearing identification numbers that time would soon erase. Some remains were exhumed and returned to family members."
