I can't think of anything more "extraordinary" than a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. Joseph McCauslin, is described in his entry with The Congressional Medal of Honor Society below:
Rank and organization: Private, Company D, 12th West Virginia Infantry. Place and date: At Petersburg, Va., 2 April 1865. Entered service at: Ohio County, W. Va. Birth: Ohio County, W. Va. Date of issue: 12 May 1865. Citation: Conspicuous gallantry as color bearer in the assault on Fort Gregg.
He is buried at West Alexander Memorial Cemetery.
