Thayer's Note:

a Cullum gives no death data; the 1920 and later Supplements to the Register mark him as having died, but offer no other information. The death date I give here is taken from the Find-a‑Grave page linked above, which also has information about his career after he left the Army.

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