Harden Williams Civil War Burial:

I'm still searching for the location that one of my ancestors was buried in. He supposedly died on board a troop train near Blackwell Station, MO about 1861 and was buried by the train tracks. It was said that after the war the train engineers would salute his grave when passing or stop momentarily to let the passengers rest a while. This a rural area but I'm hoping someone will remember this incident or know of something written about it. Thanks, Clydene. wmscan@att.net
