This article's subject has no notability beyond being one Indiana county's oldest surviving Civil War veteran. The article appears to be written as a genealogical record and information about his regiment is already provided by another article. It has been suggested that the information in this article be merged with 51st Regiment Indiana Infantry; however, because the article's subject has no particular notability beyond longevity, I do not believe that this information should be merged.

 * Delete, obviously no notability. We could easily and reasonably add a note to the regimental article that one of its soldiers was the county's longest-lived veteran, but there's no need to redirect him to the regiment.  Nyttend (talk) 00:11, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree with your idea, but there is nothing to indicate that this man was the last surviving member of the regiment, nor was he among the last of the Civil War's veterans. Spacini (talk) 02:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't pass any notability guideline I've read. Appears to have been created by someone under the name User:Thomasbrown51 and includes the spoken word of a relative as a citation, seems a possible COI issue. I'd like my great-great grandparents immortalized too, but most folks of the era are just non-notable. BusterD (talk) 11:21, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
