Information taken from Westwood Printout and grave marker, if available; check the original burial register at city hall for additional data
Comments
Note that the surname on the Westwood map and printout is "Tilman" and on the Oberlin's Soldiers' Monument (<http://www.oberlin.edu/EOG/Civil%20War%20Monument/soldiers_monument.htm>) as "Tillman"; check the original burial register? An unsourced newspaper article states that John "55th Mass. C. I. (Colored Infantry) died from effects of exposure."
