Died in American Civil War at the regimental hospital; cause 'not stated.' Source: U.S. Registers of Deaths of Volunteers, 1861 - 1865.

Source: The 104th OVI was organized at Camp Massillon on August 30, 1862, under Col. James W. Reilly in response to a need for additional three-years regiments. The regiment moved to Covington, Kentucky, on September 1, 1862, in preparation for the Defense of Cincinnati against a threatened Confederate invasion by troops under Edmund Kirby Smith. It was involved in the subsequent skirmish at Fort Mitchel in northern Kentucky. The regiment spent 1863 in Kentucky.

NOTE: The dates seem a little off. Census records ad tombstone inscription give parents as William and Elizabeth Hawkins, but dates on tombstone do not match year of mother's death. More research needed.
