I am combining my final two ancestors in one post. The stories of James Clark and Thomas Arbuckle would be linked in the next generation.
Clark was mustered in on 5 August 1862 in Company B 69th Indiana Infantry. The 69th was sent west. Less than a year inti his enlistment, James H. Clark contracted pneumonia which developed into phthisis pulmonalis [pulmonary consumption]. He was admitted to the field hospital at Jefferson Barracks near St. Louis, MO. James died there on 22 June 1863.
James' wife, Ann [Graham] applied for a widow's pension, but the pension was transferred to daughter Lucy Jane Clark after Ann remarried.
Arbuckle enlisted on 28 December 1863 in Company E 13th Indiana Cavalry. Like Clark, Arbuckle was assigned duty in the west. Due to conditions in the field, Thomas fell victim to chronic diarrhea. He died at the hospital in New Orleans and was buried in Chalamet National Cemetery.
Thomas M. Arbuckle left a widow, Sarah [Akers] and five children.
Son James Crawford Arbuckle married on 10 August 1879 Lucy Jane Clark.
