Legrand P. Clark enlisted in Company B, 124th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, October 16, 1862, for a 3-year term of service during the Civil War The 124th had been mustered into Federal service early in October at Camp Cleveland, Ohio, northeast Ohio's largest camp of rendezvous and preliminary instruction for new regiments. The camp waas located on University Heights in what is now the East Tremont neighborhood.
The Daily Herald (Cleveland, Ohio), of November 19, 1862, carried a news item stating that Legrand died in camp and that his body was transported in a military funeral procession with a guard of soldiers and a band playing the "Dead March" with muffled drums and fifes. Company B marched behind a hearse with Legrand's army coat displayed on the coffin to the railroad depot. The article stated that that the body was transported to Spencer, Ohio, apparently unloaded and then further transported to Huntington Township for burial. The Official Roster of Ohio Soldiers erroneously stated the he was buried in Cleveland in Volume VIII, p. 765. His cause of death was not given and he was not listed in U.S., Registers of Deaths of Volunteers, 1861-1865.
Legrand's mother, Susan M. Clark, submitted a mother's application #307643, in the State of Iowa for a pension based on Legrand's brief military enlistment. It was not approved or issued.
Legrand appeared in only the 1850 U.S. Census, 6 years old, born in Ohio, residing in the houshold of his parents, Naham or Nahum Clark, 30, a farmer, born in MA, his mother, Susan, 31, born in CT, and two brothers, George, 17, and Samuel, 7, both born in Ohio. His gravestone shows that he was the son of S. M. Clark. However Nahum Clark's place of burial can't be located and then there is the question of Legrand's mother living in Iowa in 1883.
Perhaps more information can be obtained from Legrand's Military Service Record and separate Pension Record which are available for purchase from the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
