Two blogs before this, I wrote about this prominent citizen of Galena who was killed at the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. Evidently his body was recovered after the battle and returned to Galena for burial.
From Find-A-Grave.
CAPT THOMAS D. CONNOR
Birth: 1814
Death: August 6, 1862 (aged 47-48) I believe this should be April 6, 1862, the date of the first day of the Battle of Shiloh.
Burial: Greenwood Cemetery, Galena, Illinois.
This is where several of the Galena generals are buried as well as Edward Kittoe.
