A story poste by Samuel Donlan on his genealogy explains that Non died in a Confederate HOspital in Lynchburg. He had earlier been ill and was treated in "the Confederate Hospital at Huguenot Springs, Virginia in August of 1862. He may have had other bouts of illness earlier that summer, as he had already been admitted to the Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond for a severe case of diarrhea earlier that June."

Samuel says, "He was returned to duty on June 11th, but was once again admitted to Chimborazo on August 10, 1862 with a case of Rheumatism. Anonamous Ledbetter died in a Confederate Hospital."

His memorial on Find a Grave report his death of death as 3 days after the "muster out" date reported in his Civil War military record. (No photo of the grave is provided.) It does not seem to make sense that he was "mustered out," then happened to died 3 days later in the same place.
