Note that the accompanying obituary actually relates his military service correctly, something that is often not the case in obituaries for Civil War veterans.
He married Martha J. Lumbston or Lunsden ca. 1871 in Evansville, Indiana, and fathered Elizabeth Aiken (b. 12/25/72 - married a Bracht but her death certificate lists her as Kugle), James L. (b. 08/14/85), Harrison M. (b. 07/04/88), and John R. (b. 07/23/92). Cause of his death is listed as "peritonitis" with a "vesicle abscess" a contributing factor.
