According to R.W. Jones, “Confederate Cemeteries and Monuments in Mississippi,” pg 105, excerpt from "Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol VIII," ed. Franklin L. Riley, 1904:
“... Tishomingo County. This county, mainly through the pious and patriotic efforts of the Jno. Marshall Stone Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Christian citizens of Iuka, has nobly done its duty towards the Confederate dead.
There is a well inclosed, well kept Confederate cemetery, in which rest three hundred Confederate soldiers. The names of individuals are not known; one hundred fifty of these brave, dutiful men were Texans, one hundred of them Missourians, and about fifty of them Arkansians. They were members of General Price’s army, and nearly all of them were killed in the battle at Iuka. An appropriate Confederate monument attests the nobility of heart and the fidelity to truth of these good citizens. Of them it may truly be said: ‘Well done.’...”
