Memorial Day 2021: Lt. Edward Woodbury Hall (1839-1963)

Less than two weeks after the fall of Vicksburg, my 2xg-granduncle died in the battle to retake Jackson, Mississippi.  I report the story HERE.  He was a member of Company B, 3rd Iowa Infantry Regiment.

Lieutenant Edward W. Hall was born in Danvers, McLean, Illinois on August 28, 1839.  He died in battle outside Jackson, Rankin, Mississippi on July 13, 1863.  He did not have a spouse or children.  The family erected a cenotaph to him in the family plot in Stouts Grove Cemetery, Danvers, IL.  Edward was my 2xg-uncle on my mother's maternal side.  He was only 23 years old.
