Death at Crystal Springs Ark

From Mamie Yeary's,"Reminiscences of the Boys in Gray"

An uncle Daniel C Wright,Co.F, 16th. Texas Dismounted Cavalry died at Crystal Springs in camp,some seven or eight miles north of Little Rock,Ark., with relapse from measles.

Brother John M Wright,same company says,"He was thought to be out of danger and I left him, coming home with the horses,and when I returned he was dead. I do not know just where his body sleeps."

Both the brothers from Farmersville,Collin Co.,Tx.

This would have been 1862. Any information on where Daniel Wright might be at greatly appreciated.
