I believe the section and location numbers are correct for his burial location. I know I have read about his Civil War record somewhere. My great great uncle Robert was wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness, whereever that was, and died during the second Battle of Bull Run. I think read that he is buried at the battlefield at Antietum(SP). I have older distant Elwood relatives remember telling of Elwoods riding from here in Westmoreland County, on a buckboard wagon, to Gettysburg to retrieve one of our Ancestors from the battlefield at Gettysburg. I am going to locate some of the articles I have read in some of the publications around here and send them to you. One of our ancestors had a somewhat distinguished military carrer, it may have been Josiah.
