CO C 7 ILL INF: United States Civil War Soldiers Index, 1861-1865
The 7th was organized in Springfield in April of 1861, marched to Alton, Cairo, and Mound City (where Frederick died). There were no reports of battles between April and 23 June, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have been accidentally injured during a training incident. Most likely, he died from disease.

Mound City was the site of the largest hospital in the western campaign of the Civil War. Even though no major battles were fought in the two cities, they received dead and wounded from Battles in Belmont (,November 7, 1861), Commerce and Reed's Point in Missouri and Fort Donelson and Shiloh in Tennessee, Fort Holt Paducah and Columbus in Kentucky.
