Re: Luke W. Conerly 16th MS new headstone photos

Hello. My name is Wayne Saucier and I want to thank you for the kind comments on my Great Grandfather Luke Ward Conerly. Luke's book, Pike County, was reprinted by a Great Great Grandson, Lee Jackson. It is now available for purchase through www.lukewardconerly.com. The new headstone for Luke was obtained through the efforts of Harold Connerley, a distant cousin and myself. It was installed and then dedicated on August 2nd by the Sam Davis SCV Camp at the Mississippi City Cemetery in Gulfport. The ceremony included a rifle and cannon salute by SCV re-enactors from Mississippi and Lousiana. Luke would have been so proud to have known he was honored by the SCV Camp for his four years of service during the Civil War years. The Dedication was attended by three of Luke's Granddaughters, four Great Grandchildren, four Great Great Grandchildren and five Great Great Great Grandchildren and other family members.
