New List of Confederate Dead Buried at Iuka, Miss.

While doing some research recently, I found this list of Confederate Dead buried at Iuka - it is from the Memphis Daily Avalanche, June 27, 1867. This is not the same list from the Avalanche that was published on October 26, 1868; while the two lists do have some of the same names, the list I found has over a dozen names that are not on the other; it also has dates and causes of death for some of the men listed. My article also states: "The following is a list of Confederate dead, so far as could be obtained from the head boards of the tombs of those who have lately been removed and reinterred at this place...There are also one hundred and thirty-eight others, known by the citizens here to have been Missourians, but the registry of their names and of the companies and regiments has been lost, and the head boards that were placed originally at their graves, were so much defaced that I am unable to make a report of their proper inscriptions now for the benefit of surviving friends and relatives. - Dr. Wm. M. Willson"

Here is the list from my article as I transcribed it, the newsprint was fuzzy, so I did the best I could - I took the liberty of putting the names in order:
