 The specific location of Ellis' body in the churchyard was uncertain until 2007, when the burial site was positively identified via church archival records by Dr. Gary Brucato (a psychologist) and Attila Deak (a guest services specialist at an art museum) in the course of freelance field research for a book by Civil War historian E. F. Bishop.After the war, the citizens of Orange County raised money to erect a monument to the 124th Regiment at Gettysburg.Dedicated on July 2, 1884, it was the first regimental New York monument placed on the field.
