| Notes for Cyrus PETTYJOHN |
During the Civil War Cyrus enlisted in the 50th Ohio Volunteers; was made prisoner of war and spent some time in Andersonville Prison, one of the worst Civil War prisons. Going home after his release, he was a passenger on the Mississippi River vessel "The SULTANNA" when it exploded. In an attempt to save a woman passenger and her child, he received injuries from which he died.
Oddly, another of our distant Laboyteaux relatives also died in the Same explosion of the riverboat! |
