While surfing online for information on the Battle of Iuka I ran across this reference to men killed in the battle. The source is the diary of Judge Jason Niles covering the period 1846-1890. I believe Judge Jason Niles was from Mississippi, which leads me to believe these men were Confederate.
Killed at Battle of Iuka : Abner Mays, Jesse Mays, William Barnes. No other information on these men. I apologize if you already have these names listed as killed at the Battle of Iuka. Is there a site with a current list of the names?
I live in Iuka, MS.,and would very much like to see the mass burials at Shady Grove Cemetery have a marker listing the names of the interred Confederates.
Thanks! Judith Walker
