Found this belonging to a Lorenz Krauss. Best find ever for me. Fighting the nats and mosquitos, I prevailed in saving history!

I saw a gravestone site with his name, but he would have been 52 in 1862 and buried in Iowa, so probably not him though possible.

I think your right cause he was in his 30's I think...unless it was an error.
