I stumbled upon this grave site while doing some geocaching in Port Townsend. It caught my eye because my first name is a variation on Thaddeus. It held my attention when I saw "Medal of Honor". It truly is an honor to have a Medal of Honor recipient from the Civil War here in Washington State.
Armed Service: Army
