Very interesting. Where you you find all this stuff?

An interesting story. When my grandmother died in 1949 (De Aragon's daughter Fidele) several of my aunts and my mother were cleaning out her stuff and one of them piled clothes baskets full of these letters and other papers in a pile and lit a fire. My mother figured out what they were and rescued as many as she could. My cousins and I have them between us.

Adams street is there, but I have never taken the time to go to that address. Didn't think of it when I lived close and now I don't get up there but every couple of years.

If you look up the Shelby County clerk website, there's a section that has the 1865 census of all males between certain ages. He may be on it. Also lots of marriage and death records there, but be sure to use the search engine correctly or you can come up dry. Another interesting thing there is an eyewitness account of Forrest's 1864 raid on Memphis. It contains details I never read anywhere else.

I went to their archives when I was in Memphis about 15 years ago. I found everything they had on him, including his obituary, but for reasons unknown, it did not include the cemetery. Now, no one knows where he is buried.

Elmwood was popular with ex-Confederates.

Didn't you say he was a veteran? Gravefinders might help with that. Did he die in Memphis.

I ought not dabble in this as I am an inept researcher.

You can call Elmwood in Memphis and they may be able to tell you if he's buried there. I am going there on the 19th for a special presentation on Forrest's 1864 Memphis Raid. I will ask when I'm there if you'd like me to.

Thanks, I would appreciate that. Pay my respects to all the veterans buried there too, if you would.

Seems to have been the high rent district. In a letter he mentions it is the home of Colonel somebody, I'll have to look at it again to get the name.
