Aged 19 years, 2 months, 8 days.
Civil War Soldier.
Indiana 10th Infantry. Co. G.∼American Civil War soldier, who fought for the Union in Company G, 10th Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, .
Issac died six weeks after the battle of Mill Springs, Kentucky.
∼
Two Purdue University anthropologists studied his remains (in 1990, after Issac's grave was robbed) and concluded that he was 5 feet, 6 inches tall. And that he died from Typhoid fever.
Isaac's grave was robbed sometime in October 1990, by two high school students and their girlfriends. The two men were found and arrested with a class D felony. One was held until a payment of $5,000, and the other of $500. The two girls were not charged.
What the teens had (from the girl's accounts), dug up Issac's grave, placed the remains into bags, and then taken them home. The teens also took a dark crayon and traced Issac's headstone. The remains of Isaac were then dumped onto a table and sorted. One of the men gave one of the girls a tooth, which she kept but eventually flushed down the toilet. The two men took whatever was left of Isaac that had a monetary value (buttons, medals) that they could find.
A local farmer on 11/5/1990 found the grave of Isaac, dug up, and reported it to the police. They (as stated) arrested the two men, due to one of their names carved into a nearby tree.
Isaac was reburied, with what they could find of his remains, and had Civil War reenactors come to the reburial and lower the casket back into the ground forever.
Inside the casket, were Isaac's remains, and a letter from County Coroner Martin Avolt that documents the violation of his gravesite.
