Young W. Longshore mustered into service in Buchanan in Harrison County, Georgia on August 12, 1861. On December 21, 1861 he died in Fredricksburg, Virginia. Cause of his death could not be determined. This marker may be a cenotaph. In 2014 a research erect a Find a Grave memorial to Longshore the Barton Street Cemetery in Fredericksburg. However, his name is not on the plaque dedicated to 51 Confederate buried October of 1861 and March of 1862. Four men of the 35th Georgia are named on the plaque.
