• Notes

  Member of 3rd PA Heavy Artillery. Buried in Loudon Park National Cemetery in Baltimore. In "The Amidon Family", Frank Eugene Best gives his grave as No.1818, which appears to be incorrect. The National Cemetery Association lists him in Sec A, No.1085 and this is backed up by photographic evidence (see http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSsr=41&GScid=109423&GRid=44539461& ). Buried: Buried Section A Site 1095.
