Pvt.(CSA), Daniel Logan Inman

Daniel Logan Inman was the second son of Joshua and Mary "Polly" Inman of Haywood Co., NC. He enlisted in the Confederate Army along with his brothers Anderson, Joshua Ervin, W. P., Lewis Hezekiah, and Joseph. Only Anderson and Hezekiah lived to return home. Daniel Logan and his brother, Joseph A., died at Camp Douglas, IL, (Confederate POW camp) most likely of smallpox. Some six thousand men died there. At first they were buried in unmarked paupers' graves in Chicago's City Cemetery, but in 1867 the remains were reburied at Oak Woods Cemetery, located about five miles south of the camp. Confederate Mound in Oak Woods Cemetery is a monument to the Confederate soldiers who died at Camp Douglas. William Pinkney Inman, the seventh child of Joshua and Polly Inman, is known to many now as the "Inman" of the "Cold Mountain" book by Charles Frazier.
