He died at Johnson's Island on May 2, 1864, of typhoid fever. (His military record gives May 2 as his death date, but his grave marker in Clear Spring, MD, has May 1 as the date.) Body sent to Hagerstown, MD. There are apparently two military service files on Winders in the National Archives - one for D. H. Winders and another for Daniel H. Winder. The latter one may be for another person.
