I got to thinking. If I had a g-great uncle captured in the raid of Monroe's Calvary....Price's raid into Missouri and captured, others may have also. My relative died in the Alton, ILL prison from smallpox and was buried on an island in the Missouri River. The river switched courses, and the island was overcome with water...all graves lost. As a result, the town erected a monument to those who were buried there and placed their names and regiments on the monuments. I have a couple of pictures that I took while there this summer....monument and historical marker in front of the remains of the prison. If any of you are connected or interested, I can send you pictures by private Attachment email.....Just let me know. There were lots of names on the monument from southeast Arkansas.....several from McGehee's regiment..... Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701
