neither his service record at the National Archives nor a pension application

which he never wholly recovered. When at last the order for discharge came,

died at Millen. Recorded in Peck's Roster as admitted to hospital
at Andersonville 4/13/65. W. Stephens of Co. F 4th Vermont Infantry is

last paid to 2/29/65 and under "remarks" adds: Erroneously
dropped from the rolls Jan & Feb 1865. Transferred from Co. G 2/25/1865.
Absent sick. Paroled prisoner. No discharge furnished. [This card has the
name "William Stevens" apparently confusion with William Stevens of
Co. G 4th Vermont who died of wounds 6/12/64.] A "notation card" in
the service record dated 6/27/1876 states: Admitted to Hospl
at Andersonville Ga 4/13/1865 with diarrhoea and was reported exchanged April 1865.
Investigation fails to elicit further information. A Civil War soldier
named W. Stephens is buried in the National Cemetery at Annapolis,
Maryland, section L site 549, but his stone is inscribed "Indiana"
