MS POW graves at Johnsons Island, OH

Johnson's Island was a POW camp in Sandusky Bay,OH for CSA officer prisoners (although there were a few civilian and enlisted there,too.) I have walked the grounds and taken pictures of the gravestones of all the MS men buried there (10). Most of these have the man's unit engraved. In addition, there is a monument marker that lists 12 others from MS whose specific grave hasn't been identifed. I can Email any or all of these photos to anyone interested:
Gravestones: Col. Chas. H. Matlock- 4th Miss, Capt. W. McWhister-Co.H, 3rd Miss Inf., Capt.JN Williams-6th Miss, Lt.Fleming G.W.Coleman-7th Miss Arty, Lt. John Gobeau-Co.B,10th Miss Inf,Lt. James Lawshe-Co.C,18th Miss Cav.,Lt. Peter Mackin-Co.I, 16th Miss Inf, Lt. JW Nullins-1st Miss Inf, Pvt. WW Davis-35th Miss Inf., Albert J. Frazier-Co.H,15th Miss.
