Capt. Pratt served during the Civil War in the 15th & 147th IL Inf.
He was the son of John Aldrich Pratt and Lydia Maria (Webster) and was my great uncle.
Photographs I've added for Rose Hill were sent to me by a gal who lives near the cemetery.
John had to have been heartbroken to lose all his family but one son. He mentioned Arthur, who was born about 1869, in a letter sent years later to my great grandmother (his sister).
