Sampson is my great granduncle. Mustered in February 7, 1865, Jeffersonville, Indiana Died from Typhoid fever just 5 weeks later on March 14th Uncle Sampson is buried at Antietam National Cemetery It was the end of the war. Disease was killing more soldiers than battles. Sampson was from a rural area in southern Indiana so coming into contact with his fellow soldiers would have exposed him to any number of communicable diseases like typhoid.
