    3. Dear Kevin, I would greatly appreciate photos of the graves of two of my ancestors, as well as photos of the site. According to the lookup results, grave number 6616, belongs to William Phelps. Grave number 9299 belongs to F.M. Phelps (they spelled his name Philps), who died of scorbutus. Does anyone know what this condition relates to? Is it malnutrition? The only one of my relatives to survive Andersonville Prison was Nicholas Johnson, who was released only to board the ill-fated riverboat, SULTANA. He also survived that, went on to marry several times, father many children and live until his seventies or eighties. What a powerful story! I am a novice researcher, and I stumbled on to this site quite by accident. I have truly been amazed by the helpful and knowledgeable people that contribute to the web site. Again, thank you for your efforts. Sharen (Phelps) Pestana Dracut, Massachusetts
