From looking at the listing of Confederate
soldiers moved from Chalmette to Greenwood,
I fail to find any of the 153 Confederate
soldiers known to have been buried at Ship
Island; yes, the Union soldiers were moved,
but it is my belief that the cemetery which
was destroyed by Camille, contained the bodies
of those Confederate soldiers who died there.
