On June 24, 1862 in Philadelphia, PA he was discharged for disability. On May 2, 1867 in Whitefield, NH he married Melissa O. (Brown) Glines, daughter of William Lyman Brown and Sarah Lowell Berry. They had seven children, six of which are: John W, Willie L, Edgar S, George H, Milton W, and Lewis Lyman. The cemetery records list him as buried in Old Part 1, Row 29, Lot 8 (I couldn't find that on their map). There was also a burial card for him in Forest Hill Cemetery in Bridgton, ME for Section G Lot 17. It says: "No stone G.A.R. Marker & Flag" but does that mean there is a marker & flag and no stone... or does it mean there is nothing marking it? His died in Bridgton but his death certificate listed his burial place as Waterford. His son Willie died in Aug 1870 in Charletown, NH from Cholera Infantum. Note: His wife, Melissa, should be buried here with him. It appears she died between 1920 and 1930 possibly.
