Just surfing around trying to find out about my family history

CSA Unit: Company C, 97th Militia Infantry Regiment Virginia. (Spitler's). Enlisted as a Private (Kinship to Norman P. Miller : 1st cousin 3 times removed, Father’s side)

Aaron died 15 Oct 1863. My question? Did he die in battle? If so, where? Did he die from wounds received earlier? Where would he have been fighting? He is buried at St. John's United Church of Christ Cemetery, Hudson's Crossroads, VA.
