Mike and John,

    This is strange. I found a listing for a Pvt. H.W. Green, Co. E, 146th 
N.Y. who died at Salisbury Prison, Salisbury, NC on January 26, 1865. Is it 
likely that there were two men with the same last name, same first two 
initials in the same company, same regiment and both died in January 1865?

Regards,
Teej
