Ohio Newspaper abstracts, 1825-1875 Prisoners who died in Southern Prisions during the Civil War from Gallia Co. Ohio. Nicholas Thevenin, on 30 Sept. 1864 at Florence, South Carolina of Lung Fever. Civil War Death at Florence. We have the following information on Pvt. Nicholas "Thivennen." Pvt. Co. L, 7th OH Cavalry, died 30 September 1864 in the Florence Stockade. Our death date comes from the "Florence Stockade Prisoner Arrival Book." National Archives Record Group 249, Entry 53, pages 430 - 547. Florence prisoners were buried in unmarked trenches in what is now the Florence National Cemetery. John Andrews Friends of the Florence Stockade 307 Kings Place Hartsville, SC 29550 Florence National Cemetery Trenches. Burial place of the unknown soldier. Many of the dead were marked "Unknown". What a burden of sorrows, disappointed hopes, and miseries were embodied in that word! Their names, their history all unknown, uncared-for, they died. Some mother, wife, father, or sister mourns them, or vainly waits for their coming. Each sound of footsteps at the door may cause their hearts to throb with expectancy; but no more in life shall they behold those faces which once gladdened the household. "Sick and in prison," they lingered and died, unknown. By: Sergeant Warren Lee Goss, 2nd MA Heavy Artillery, POW, Florence Stockade. Research by: by Tom McCullough. & Donna Tivener.
