Silas T. Cobb

[Laurie Verge]

Jerry,

A search of the James O. Hall files only had this:

According to a “Necrology of the soldiers from Holliston who served in the war for the Union. Taken from Army records and other authentic dates.” from an unknown source, Silas Cobb died Nov. 9th 1867 at Grand Haven, Mich. When Mr. Hall could not locate any records for him in Michigan, he tried the Holliston Historical Society in Massachusetts. Sgt. Cobb’s grave was located in Central Cemetery and a photo taken of his gravestone which reads Silas T. Cobb, Sgt. Co. F 3rd Mass., 1838-1867. Unfortunately, that appears to be all that the files contain about the demise of Sgt. Cobb.
