Thank you for your suggestion, Carroll Messer, I posted on the Missouri in the Civil War message board, today.

Federal commanders sent over 700 paroled, wounded Confederate soldiers to the hospital at Iuka, from the 2nd Battle of Corinth. This battle was fought about 2 weks after the Battle of Iuka. Missouri was more heavily involved in the Battle of Corinth than in the Battle of Iuka. The majority of Missouri CSA deaths, in Iuka, can be attributed to the Battle of Corinth. Around 200 bodies were dug up from within the city limits of Iuka and moved to Shady Grove Cemetery which is on the outskirts of town. See the following articles:

Memphis Daily Avalanche—6-15-1867—(Note: Just some excerpts and not the complete article)
At a ,meeting of the citizens of Iuka, Mississippi held at the Iuka Springs Hotel May 26,1867 for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements to have the Confederate dead removed from the corporate limits of Iuka, and reinterred at some suitable place near this village.
Resolved: That we fully approve of Dr. Wilson’s suggestion of having the Confederate dead removed from the corporate limits of Iuka, where their graves are exposed in lots and gardens, and other places much to the inconvenience of many of our citizens; and that Dr. Wilson is hereby authorized to remove the remains of said dead to Shady Grove Cemetery, and there re-interr them as speedily as possible.
Resolved: That as there were about 200 Confederate soldiers buried within our corporate limits, we believe the sum of one thousand dollars will be fair recompense for said work, and Dr. Wilson is hereby authorized to collect by subscriptions or donations, from any source he may select, until the full amount above specified has been collected to remunerate him for the work.

Memphis Daily Avalanche –6-27-1867—(Note: print was fuzzy, transcribed to best of ability and put in alphabetical order) “The following is a list of Confederate dead, so far as could be obtained from the headboards 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. Wilson”
