Picture Request - Grenada, MS

Hi,

Col. Walter Scott Statham, original commander of the 15th Mississippi Infantry (CS) and brigade commander in the Army of Mississippi at Shiloh, the Siege of Corinth and the early Vicksburg Campaign, is buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Grenada, MS.

Could someone with a digital camera visit his grave site and take a photo to place on the internet?

Here are the directions to the cemetery and the way he is listed on his tombstone.

Directions to Odd Fellows Cemetery- Highway # 51 & # 8, Grenada, MS, north (left) on Highway # 51 (Dr. Martin Luther King, Blvd) second stop light Odd Fellows and Woodlawn Cemeteries are on the left.

Tombstone Transcription: Statham, Walter Scott-/ 07-18-1832-/ 07-30-1862

Thanks,

Jim Martin
