William Miller (93070035)
Suggested edit: The regiment on the tombstone is wrong because the 7th Pennsylvania Infantry ceased to exist two years before the battle of Gettysburg. This is a common error that most often actually means the 7th Pennsylvania Reserves (36th Pennsylvania Infantry), but I have found no William Miller in Co. K of that regiment either. That he was a veteran seems all but certain, but it wasn't with the unit claimed on the tombstone.
