Thanks very much for interacting and sharing info on this!!! I apologize for being distracted by recent work demands, but hope to devote more time to identifying the men in the Iuka mass burial trench soon....!!!!!

Tim Burgess sent me a LARGE package with LOTS of names/units in it; I am still digesting all that data...!!!!!!

I have a couple of questions that will help me get a handle of men who are likely buried in the Shady Grove trench:

QUESTION 1: Does anyone know exactly when the mass burial trench was made (date and time) following the Iuka battle on Sept. 19, 1862?

QUESTION 2: Does anyone know exactly when the mass burial trench was no longer being used?

thanks y'all....!!!!

y.v.o.s.,

Ken
