Re: Abandoned Lost CSA Burial Ground? Hardeman Cou

It's unlikely there is an unknown burial site in the area around Grand Junction. Based on other CS burial locations from the time it was the habit to inter them in a local established cema[tary. An example is the old LaGrange Cematary located just north of Lagrange(Lagrange is located about 2 miles west of Grand Junction on the M&C line) which contains a number of unmarked CS wartime graves. I even came across a wartime mention of this in a letter home from a union officer stationed at Grand Junction. The federals seized the line of the M&C from Memphis to Corinth shortly after the fall of Memphis and garrisoned the towns along it for most of the war. Grand Junction was the district HQ.
