grave of John Beck

John Beck volunteered for the Confederate Army in Elba, Coffee Co., AL. He was mustered in Company A, 18th Regiment of the Alabama Infantry. The muster rolls indicate that he was sick on the rollsof 31 April 1862 and later on "5 June 1862 was found dead sitting by a lamp post at Terry Station, MS of a disease". This is all the information I have on John. He was a brother to my G-Grandfather William Beck who was in the same Regiment. I would be most appreciative of any information regarding where he might have been buried. Thanks, Diane
