Notes:
Discrepancies exist relevant to the soldier’s death date. Clerks included in the Remarks section of several muster pages that the soldier died 4 May 1865. The document that certified George Hobbs’ death, that was prepared by staff at Balfour U.S. General Hospital in Portsmouth, VA, listed 10 April 1865 as the death date. Clerks compiling the CMSR files were probably notified of the May death date by word of mouth. It could be when the soldier’s company/regiment received notification.
