>From the Benton Courier, Saline County Arkansas Sunday 4-9-2000 the following article in part: "Professor among those marking graves FAYETTEVILLE (AP) On April 9, 1865, after substantial losses, General Robert E. Lee surrendered his troops to Union commander Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Va. One hundred and thirty five years later, a University of Arkansas professor is still working to put Confederate soldiers to rest. For more than a decade, William A. Myers, assistant department head of chemical engineering, has worked with the Maj. Fontaine Earl Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans to identify and mark the graves of Confederate Army soldiers. Their work centers on Washington, Madison and Benton counties. 'At the rate we're going, it will take the next 200 years just to complete northwest Arkansas,' Myers said. 'We put out about a dozen stones per year, and there's at least A COUPLE THOUSAND CONFEDERATE VETERANS BURIED IN THIS AREA'..............................(caps mine) Thank you professor Myers and Earl Camp.
