Person:William Grider (9)

Notes for WILLIAM "HENRY" GRIDER: William Henry Grider enlisted in the Union Army and fell in battle at Glasgow, KY in 1863. He was buried in a common grave along with other casualities of thebattlefield. After the war, his family paid to have his body located and brought back to Monroe County, Ky to bere-buried. The agents commissioned to locate and return his body reported to the widow Harriet Grider that his body was lost off the wagon in transit, and was never recovered again. It is possible that the family was victomized by unscrupulous people who preyed on the families of fallen soldiers.
