His widow, Anne (Annie) Jacobs Critchfield, applied for a widows pension Aug 22, 1864. They were married 14 Oct 1859. She applied for pensions for his minor children, Mamie E and George, in 1871 to be paid until their 16th birthdays, 11 Oct 1875 and 22 Dec 1876, respectively. They were living in Mount Vernon, Knox, Ohio, at that time. His widow remarried to George Wythe in 1871. His son was living in the household with his mother.

I believe I have identified this grave correctly as belonging to James Crutchfield. He was incorrectly identified as Joseph Horn. Joseph Horn is listed twice in findagrave and in the VA grave locator. Joseph Horn is in grave J-9798. Grave C-1453 more likely belongs to James H. Critchfield / Crutchfield, Co C 32nd Ohio, age 22 at enlistment July 29, 1861, veteran, who died in hospital at Rome, Ga., of disease, July 29, 1864. The death dates of the men whose graves lie on either side of C-1453 are in order, July 22, 29, and August 1, 4, 8, 11. The field hospital burial at Rome listed only first letter of first name, "J" and Co G 32nd Ohio; it does not list a full name.

Joseph Horn, age 19 at enlistment Feb 22, 1864, died [Aug 18, 1864,(?) according to to the Ohio Roster Roll of Honor] of wounds rec'd June 23, 1864, in action near Big Shanty, Ga. He died June 23 - he was buried among men who died in June. Joseph Horn was orig bur Big Shanty and re-interred in grave J-9798.

Alternate name: Crutchfield.
