"Several were due to diseases incurred at Fort Pleasants"

I have the names somewhere in my notes of about 40 of the names of those men from Frost's Brigade who died at Fort Pleasent. Most of the fortifications wash away during the 1927 flood. However the rear rampart and some of the outlying picket post fortifications remains. Skipm has searched the place several times is my understanding.

Just south of the rear of the fort was a cemetery. It was called the Macfadden Cemetery after the community that was there in the late 1800 and early 1900's. all references to that cemetery are gone now overgrown with Pine trees and underbrush. However, when we surveyed the site in 2001 Mark Christ's crew from the A.D.H. documented the location on GPS. I do not know for sure but I suspect that this cemetery was started with the burial of those soldier from Fort Pleasent in 1863.
