James Arwood, died 6 May 1865
Doing research on Civil War in NC. Last Union soldier to die east of the Mississippi was James Arwood, member of the 2nd NC Union Mounted Infantry. Killed at the skirmish at White Sulphur Springs in Haywood Co, NC. Three days before the last Confederates surrendered. Does anyone know his family. His Yankee unit was raised from Union sympathizers in the NC Mountains.
