Thanks fellows, I appreciate it very much.

An interesting bit of history remains today. I mentioned earlier Edwin Rembert of the 4th MS Cavalry. I have a "pocket" New Testament he had on him when he died, along with a gold and onyx ring he had. The New Testament was given to him in Brandon MS on 15 Jan 1864 by Rev. Ellswills (name hard to read). Since his body had to be buried before getting it back to Copiah Co., these two items were all that made it home. I treasure having them.
