Eileen,
That is exactly what I thought. Mr. Agan did not think it that unusual. This is one of
the reasons I have tried to locate his burial site or some kind of death record. Perhaps
he felt so strongly about the war he left his family to fight?
A pension was never obtained (he would have been dead because pension applications did not
start until the 1890s).
His name also appears in "Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldier by Andrew B. Booth
Vol. 1". It shows he was sick and in the hopital a few times.
My gg-grandparents were Alfred (Alberts brother) and Susan Pruitt/Pruett. I have a
picture of Albert and Sarah in old age (around 1900). It is the same sitting as a picture
I have of Alfred and Susan. They must have gone together to get it taken!
