In Pittsfield, New Hampshire's Floral Park Cemetery, there is a memorial stone, engraved with the names of the soldiers from this town who never returned home from the Civil War. It was erected by the Capt Asa W. Bartlett Camp, No. 39, Sons of Veterans.
Using Ayling's Revised Register and the History of Pittsfield, I've added the soldier's unit and cause of death to their memorial.
