Marshall was shot in the abdomen while in the Civil War at
Gainsville, VA. He died at the home of Nora Beecher in presence of Theresa
Blough at Wayne, KS. Have not been able to locate death certificate in
state records.
Private Marshall Ingraham was enlisted by Caption Clark to the 19th Regiment
of the Indiana Volunteers Company G at Indianapolis on the 29th day of July
1861 to serve three years. He was born in Noble County in the state of
Indiana; is eighteen years of age, 5 feet 11 inches high, light complexion,
dark eyes, light hair and by occupation when enlisted a farmer.
This information was taken from his discharge papers signed by Robert
Bartholow, assistant surgeon of the U.S. Army, Fort Schuyler, NY, dated
March 30, 1863.
"I certify, that I have carefully examined the said Private Marshall
Ingraham of Caption Clark's Company and found him incapable of performing
the duties of a soldier because of Acute Rheumatism of which he has frequent
attacks and a
strongly marked rheumatic diathesis (sic). He has been absent from his
company seven months."
From the memorandum from prisoner of war records:
Ingraham, M. rank private, 19th reg't of Indiana, Co. G., paroled at
Groverton battlefield, Sept 2, 1862.

Note: National Archives have his pension number, but can
not locate the file. They have referred me to other locations, have not
found. The State of Kansas can not find his death cert. and Republic
County Courthouse burned down. He is buried in Pleasant Ridge Cem., Norway,
KS with his wife Catherine and his children, His name is not on stone, but
his civil war marker is there. I found his death date thru the funeral home
in Belleville, KS.
Republic County has a lot of Civil War Veterans.
Just wanted to add my two cents.
Thanks, Iris Lee
