He is buried in the Louisville Cemetary. He was born 12 Dec 1841 in Londonderry Ireland and died 24 Jan 1894 in Westmoreland. He married Harriet Ameelia Eaton on 4 July 1872 in Louisville. I checked the newspapers for his obituary at the Historical Center in Topeka when I was home on vacation this summer. It was in the Westmoreland Recorder dated Feb 1, 1894. That's how I found that he was in the civil war. He was active in the Congregational church of Westmoreland and also of the G.A.R. and the Ancient Order of United Workmen. The article said that he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1861 but was soon discharged on account of rheumatism. After six months he re-enlisted in the navy and served until the close of the war. It also said he took part in the conflict between the Cumberland and the Merrimac and was on the former when it went down and he swam ashore. I have tried looking through civil war information but have not been able to find him listed. The navy seems to have fewer records thanthe army. The paper also said he came to Philadelphia at age 8 because his parents had both died and his sisters were in Philadelphia. Any Hilliard information would be appreciated.
