Ole Anderson enlisted on 4 Feb 1864 in Madison, listed from Wiota. He served as a Private in Company H, Third Wisconsin Infantry. Although the gravestone is inscribed with Ole's death at "Dalles", the date of death indicates the battle at New Hope Church, which preceded Dallas, was probably where Ole died.

Dates: May 25-26, 1864:
After Johnston retreated to Allatoona Pass on May 19-20, Sherman decided that he would most likely pay dearly for attacking Johnston there, so he determined to move around Johnston’s left flank and steal a march toward Dallas. Johnston anticipated Sherman’s move and met the Union forces at New Hope Church. Sherman mistakenly surmised that Johnston had a token force and ordered Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker’s corps to attack. This corps was severely mauled. On the 26th, both sides en-trenched, and skirmishing continued throughout the day.
