L. Paris Horney was an officer in Co. C of the 100th Ohio Infantry and died of dysentery in Charleston, exact prison unknown. One source says died as prisoner of war on 11-7-64 at Columbia, where he is in fact buried, but Columbia records show him as having died in Charleston. Cannot determine exact Charleston prison in which he was held without further research.
