In Response To: Soldier's possible death ()

I didn't think about it the other day when I was doing this but there was another Isaac Tice - this from NY:

Is it possible that when he resigned from the 48th Ohio Inf, say for health reasons, he went back to New York to recover and in Sept 1864 chose to go back to war but this time with a New York unit? Could he have been one of the 18 who died?
