The 111th NY Volunteers from Scipio NY Who Died

I have found a lot of information on Scipio residents in the Civil War. Each source seems to have something new and different. IN the three resources below, I found a dozen men listed as killed in action or died during the Civil War due to their wounds or disease.

The official roster of the 111th has the following information on Scipio soldiers who were killed in action or died during the Civil War due to their wounds or disease:

From the 1865 Census for Scipio the following soldiers of the 111th also died during the war:

Records from that infamous prison, Andersonville, tell us this about these two soldiers from the 111th:

ALBERT ROBINSON, Private, died September 2, 1864 of diarrhea.
