**aka Henry Folz on military records
Minnesota 5th Volunteer Infantry Regiment

Died of Typhoid disease while serving.

Vicksburg National Cemetery was established in 1866, with the first interments arriving in 1867. They arrived from areas within a 50 mile radius of Vicksburg. They would be disinterred from the battlefields, other cemeteries, and graveyards of the **various hospitals in the Vicksburg area.
The death date of Ludwig as August 2 1863, it is likely he was at one of the hospitals when he died and was placed for burial in that hospital's graveyard. He could have had a wooden headstone (piece of hardtack box or ammunition crate) to mark who he was, but by the time Vicksburg National Cemetery is established and the first interments are buried there; that would have been four years later. His wooden headstone could have been lost destroyed, removed or any number of things making him an unknown.

It is most likely Ludwig is interred in Vicksburg National Cemetery and is simply one of the unknown soldiers.
