He died in Lancaster County Hospital "at an advanced age." His death notices - actually one notice reproduced in multiple newspapers - say only that he had "fought in the rebellion" but offer no more detail than that. A John Morrison did enlisted at the stated age of forty-one in Lancaster on July 6, 1863, during the Gettysburg crisis, mustered into state service in Harrisburg July 9 as a private with Co. F, 47th Pennsylvania Militia, and honorably discharged with his company August 13, 1863. Whether that pertains to the subject of this post is as yet unverified.
