Epidemic (?) at Lewisburg

According to my fourth cousin-once removed, our common ancestor, Holbert A. Harris, and many with him in company B, 2nd Arkansas Infantry (USA) died of either typhus or typhoid at Lewisburg, on or about 28 August 1864. She told me their bodies were thrown into a trench and burned. Does anyone have further information on this?
