Re: ID of men buried in Shady Grove Cem. at Iuka..

At least 12 men of the 37th Alabama Regiment of Volunteer Infantry are most likely buried in the mass grave you mentioned at Iuka. Only one, Pvt. John Durell has a marker, secured by his family a few years ago. Durell's father noted that his son was buried "in a ditch" at Iuka at the time of his death.

The other known Killed in Action (KIA) from this particular regiment are:

- Private William Banister (Company A) KIA Sept 19, 1862
- Private J. Castleberry (Company F) - KIA Sept 19, 1862
- Private William Dias (Company H) KIA Sept 19, 1862
- Private John Durell (Company C) KIA - Sept 19, 1862
- Private James P. Hollis (Company K) KIA - Sept 18/19, 1862
- Private Harry Miller (Company H) KIA Sept 19, 1862
- Private Floyd Nall (Company A) KIA Sept 19, 1862
- Private Jeremiah ("Jerry") Pearson (Company B) KIA Sept 19, 1862
- Private B.F. Richards (Company H) KIA Sept 18, 1862
- Private James M. Richards (Company H) KIA Sept 19, 1862
