December 3, 1863 he was admitted to a General Field Hospital in Bridgeport, Alabama for Catarrh. (Catarrh is the inflammation of the mucus membrane especially nose and throat).

In 1816 troops built a fort on the western tip of Arsenal Island, naming it Fort Armstrong after Secretary of War John Armstrong.
Settlements, which eventually became Davenport and Rock Island, developed across from the fort under its protection. After the Black Hawk War in 1832, and the removal of most Indians in the area, the fort was no longer needed. Troops left in 1836 and the fort gradually fell to ruin.
The Civil War brought renewed federal activity to the island. As Union armies pushed south along the Mississippi River they sent prisoners north.
The Quartermaster Department of the Army built a series of prisons at Alton, Quincy, Rock Island, and Fort Douglas outside Chicago.
The Rock Island Barracks were flimsy wooden structures on the north shore of the island near its center. Headquarters were established in the George Davenport home. From December 1863 to July 1865, Rock Island was home to more than 12,000 military and political prisoners. About 2,000 prisoners died there.
