Cenotaph memorial at Greenwood Cemetery, Wilson, Niagara, NY. Per Kathy, FAG #47171935:
"Ironically, and very sadly, Walter is listed in the 1865 New York State census with his family in USA, NY, Niagara, Wilson, as being in the Army. That census was taken as of 28 Jun 1865. His name is crossed out. It appears that his family was not aware that he had died in February."
