Dear Bruce; Very good and thanks. There is no record in the Cemetery of his grave. Not unusual for that era. I have created Find a Grave Memorial# 163930314 for him and have this A m up dated it. You had some info that I did not have. Very good and thank you.

For information; The Mississippi River above Vicksburg has been very migratory (It has moved around a great deal.) Neither myself or anyone else I would not think would have any idea where the explosion occurred. The Steam Boats were exploding and burning in horrible numbers.

Again, thank you.
