Actually, neither died 'in the Civil War.' Hough's death was caused by the accidental ignition of a powder keg while firing a salute to the US flag before it was lowered over Fort Sumter. Ladd was killed by rioters protesting the the war, not by enemy action.

The first battle death has been generally recognized as Private Henry Wyatt of the 1st North Carolina, at the Battle of Bethel Church on June 10, 1861, but nine days earlier, Captain John Q. Marr of the 17th Virginia was killed in a skirmish with Union troops at Fairfax Courthouse, Virginia.
