After Fort Fisher, the Prisoners-- Part 6: Confederate Marines

Three Confederate Marines were captured at Fort Fisher and sent to Elmira.

Private  William Brown died of diarrhea and buried in grave #2562.

Private James Drew died of pneumonia and is buried in grave #2121.

Private Frank A. Dean, wounded,  concussion of brain, died of diarrhea  18 July 1865.  He would have died on the Elmira Union Army hospital and should have been buried at Woodland National Cemetery.  It is possible that he is one of the Confederate Unknown Soldiers buried in Woodlawn.

In depth research needs to be done to determine where these Marines are from.
