    3. Thomas, I'm beginning to think that you may want to shift your search to the area between Columbus and Iuka, MS. I say this, because the 37th doesn't "seem" to go to Holly Springs until they retreated from Hatchie's Bridge on Oct. 5th 1862 (I may be wrong), which is well after Needham Temples was hospitalized in late August to early September. I don't think the Hospital was there. I think that he would have been taken prisoner in Iuka or Corinth if the Hospital was there, as both fell to Union forces. So, Needham was probably sent to the Hospital before the battle of Iuka on Sept. 19, 1962. He probably never made it to camp Rogers with his unit. You may want to look in Fulton, Pontonoc, Ripley, or Oxford, MS. Those seem to be the next closest towns. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, Keith Bailey
