Moses Meeker / Clark Meeker

My great grandfather Moses Meeker was in 70th Ohio Infantry, Co G with T.W. Connelly. He was captured near Clinton, GA, in August 1864 and spent time in Andersonville until the end of the war. My grandmother said he had hoof print(s) on his back from a mule that pulled a wagon or just walked on him in Andersonville. He died in 1902 from blood poisoning when he got stuck in the hand with a thorn. Clark was his brother: he was in a different company, Co B. I have no info on Clark. Both are buried in Danville, IL where I am from originally. I just got a copy of the book History of 70th Ohio Regiment: From Its Organization to Its Mustering Out. I just received it yesterday. Any information or help finding info on Moses or Clark Meeker would be greatly appreciated.
