Sgt. Albert Husband, USMC
From Find-A-Grave.
Sergeant Albert Husband was also aboard the USS Monongahela on the action where Abner Read was mortally wounded.
Born 7 April 1837 Died 6 May 1921
USMC
Enlisted 7 July 1864
Mustered out February 1868
The enlistment was considerably after when Read was killed in 1863. Perhaps Husband was in the Navy and transferred to the Marines.
Burial Mount Moriah Cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
USNH Plot 3 Row 9 Grave 8
This U.S. Navy Plot has many naval Medal of Honor winners buried there. I'll have to write about it some time in the future.
