Thomas Jefferson Yager CSA

I'm looking for a grave site for Thomas Jefferson Yager.
Per Hannibal, MO newspaper:
Hannibal (Missouri) Messenger (Weekly) 01 May 1862, Page 2:
Killed at Pea Ridge~
We learn that Thomas J. Yeager, a citizen of Ralls Co., was killed on the rebel side at the battle of Pea Ridge, Ark. He was a member of Wilson's company, of Birge's regiment.
Yeager had fired 10 shots , when a bullet passed through the folds of a blanket on a comrade and struck him (Yeager) to the forehead, killing him instantly. The deceased has a brother in California who is an unconditional Union man.

His record says that he was Killed in Battle March 7, 1862.
Anything else would be a bonus... Thanks!
