Union soldier buried in Phillips County?

Hi! Nice to meet everyone! : )
I am researching these surnames in Arkansas- Berry, Rogers, (Rodgers), Jackson, Adair, Bankston and others. My main research areas are the counties of Desha, Phillips, Drew, Franklin, Conway, and others. Right now I am having trouble researching Civil War info in Phillips Co., AR. aroung Helena. I am trying to figure out where my gggrandfather was buried- Joseph Rogers (or Rodgers). He was Union in the 10th Illinois Cavalry from Illinois before he married my gggrandmother Nancy J. Berry Bankston Rogers from Helena. (She was a widow as her first husband John C. Bankston was killed in the Civil War. He was Confederate.) Joseph Rogers died in Phillips County around January 1870 from TB. I cannot find where he was buried... Since he was Union I am sure he is not in a Confederate Cemetery? Or could he be? Does anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks! And I am happy to meet everyone! : )
