One Confederate Veteran Buried in McHenry County, Illinois-- Part 2

The two buried in Lake County, Illinois, and the one in McHenry County, Illinois, are of particular interest to me as this is where I lived for 18 years and 23 respectfully.

From the Northwest Herald "County home to intriguing historical oddities" by Hilary Gowins.

The body of James Johnson is buried at Union Cemetery on South Union Road by the town of Union.  In the north section of the cemetery is the military marker of one James Johnson, the only Confederate soldier buried in McHenry County.  The McHenry County Civil War Round Table (to which I belong) doesn't know much about him and didn't know he was a Confederate soldier until they investigated the cemetery records.

His birth date is unknown, but he died in May 1905.

They intend to give him a proper headstone with his name and dates.
