MS Old Marion Cemetery

[PvtTurnerCSA]

This cemetery is a few miles east of the actual town limit of Marion. I am not sure why the cemetery has the name of "Old Marion Cemetery".... more research is in order.
There are markers for 11 UNKNOWN CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS here. A marker sign explains a small bit.....

And here is the marker for Confederate Major Constantine Rea...

I wish there was a list of soldiers buried here like the other cemeteries. Maybe a little (or a lot) of research can reveal more about this cemetery.
May they rest in peace!

Sir, the first pic looks like the sign has been peppered with buckshot...

Not a very well made sign...... Those are corrosion "pocks".
Here is an earlier picture I found of the sign.
