I am trying to find the burial ground of these men

OK I read this article and it says that only 9 soldiers were given a proper burial somewhere in Newton Co. but as of 1905 they had no marker yet....does anyone have any idea where this is?
These were some of those soldiers that died in the horrible train wreck at Chunky River, on the way to Vicksburg.

"...This lonely burial spot so far seems unkept by the tender care of any friendly hand. At no time as yet have these unmarked graves been numbered among those who share the wreaths and bouquets of flowers by the hand of our kind and loving Daughters on Decoration Day, yet this sad neglect will, it is hoped, soon have its end. It is the purpose of Camp Dabney H. Maury to erect a twin shaft upon the spot where these dead martyrs repose, commemorating alike the memory of these Confederate heroes and perpetuate the testimonial of the patriotic devotion exhibited by the Choctaw Indian braves, whose prowess and fidelity to the Confederate cause entitle them to the respect of our Confederate soldiery everywhere and to all lovers of the true and the faithful wherever found."
