My wife's 3rdGreat Grandfather, George W. Pirkle, 12th Ky Cav (Union) as one of a handful of men killed at the Battle at Philadelphia Tn, on 20 Oct. 1863. Does anyone know where these men were buried, and if re-interred what National Cemetery?
Also, his Wife Eleanor or Eleander applied for his effects and pension in 1864, no further records? Can someone tell me how to obtain these records, as there are no record of her death, and hope these documents will give us a Death date. This is a mystery for my wife, and very important to her, so any help is appreciated.
