I am searching for information regarding the early days of Indian Springs Cemetery in Alcorn County. I have a Civil War death benefits form for Robert M. Kelley who served in Company H of the 22nd MS Regimental Infantry. The form claims that he was buried there in 1903 without headstone. I have a transcription of the cemetery, but none of the headstones predate the 1960s, except for two infants buried there in the 1950s. Does anyone have any information on the early days of this cemetery or, perhaps, what organization is the caretaker of the cemetery? Thank you! |

My greatgrandfather ( Isaiah Snooks) was in the Civil War on the Union Side. He was at "the Bone Yard" when he was wounded and lost his arm. I was wondering what "the Bone Yard" refers to exactly. His military record says it was 15 miles west of Corinth. I was hoping someone would know or could direct me to where I could find out what it means. I know this isn't the usual kind of query, but I didn't know where else to post my question. Thank you for your time Kathy Ruth |
