Dallas, TX burial location

I am attempting to find the burial location and obtain a digital image of the burial marker for the following soldier.......

STORRS, George Strong - Served as Sgt.-Maj., 13th Alabama Regiment. Storrs was appointed 1st Lt. of the Confederate Guards Artillery from Mississippi. He was eventually promoted major and commanded an artillery battalion in the Army of Tennessee, 1864-65. Batteries assigned to Storrs' Artillery Battalion included the Brookhaven MS Light Artllery, Capt. James A. Hoskins, 1st Missouri Battery, Capt. Henry Guibor, and Ward's AL Battery from Huntsville, Capt. John James Ward.

Storrs was a graduate of the Annapolis Naval Training school. After the war, Storrs returned to Wetumpka, AL and shortly after moved to Brazil for one year. He then shipped to San Francisco, California, Oregan, and the Washington Territory. He moved to Texas in 1874, settling at Dallas in 1888. He was alive and residing in rural Dallas County in 1924, age 85.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
