Came across this looking for other information...
For a little background, W. A. Lake and his wife, Mrs. Anne Lake, had property north of Vicksburg near where Chickasaw Bayou runs north into the Yazoo River. Here in 1862, Sherman disembarked his men for his first attempt to take Vicksburg and the result was the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou. It was this battle that claimed the life of one of my relatives where he was likely initially buried on her property.
