Don't take the "desertion" to much to heart. If you read the history of the unit, it walked away pretty much as a group to go home and take care of families.
He did re-enlist.
I would suggest that you get the individual record cards (you will have to find microfilm for the unit, either at the Arkansas History Commission, or a NARA site that has the unit film for Arkansas).
But your confirmation that he was a CSA veteran ties him to the Clarksville veteran's camp in 1892.
T.S. & Mary Jane Hurt are listed in the Coal Hill Cemetery.
Johnson County (Arkansas) Cemeteries
Johnson County Home Extension Clubs
1986
The listings have only years, as follows:
T.S. Hurt b. 1842 d. 1909
Mary Jane Hurt b. 1848 d. 1923
W. H. Hurt b. 1880 d. 1909
This opens another possibility - the Confederate pensions.
As I'm typing this, I have opened the Ark. Hist. Commission site and find a pension issued to Thomas S. Hurt in 1901, widow's (M.J.) application in 1909, showing his death 6/15/1909, which may have been his actual death date, or the date they reported his death to stop payments:

You can order this from them, or go find it & print out whatever docs might exist at a library which has this film (Dallas TX genealogy dept. has it).
It does not show a death date for the widow.
