Thayer's Notes:

a See any of his pages at Find-a‑Grave for details on the fight that cost Lt. Nininger his life, and for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor.

b Find-a‑Grave lists three contending gravesites, two of which are marked there as cenotaphs, and the one I link to above as "Former burial location". Notwithstanding, it appears that Lt. Nininger's remains still do lie in Abucay, where a recent visitor was guided by the parish priest to a group of four unmarked graves and told that one of them may be the officer's. If you have better or more recent information, please do let me know.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
