Who is George J. Cloud, Pvt., Co. B, 1st AR Cavalry Regt, CSA ? http://www.couchgenweb.com/civilwar/1cavcob.html "He was captured 22 Aug 1864 in Jefferson Co, AR. and sent to MP at Alton, IL 26 Nov 1864 then to Rock Island, IL 7 Dec 1864. Died of smallpox 15 Feb 1865, grave 1881." (... and what does "grave 1881" mean?) Tom Cloud

I don't know who this George J. Cloud is, but I think I can help you with the question about the grave, anyway. I visited the Rock Island Prison over spring break. There were a great many Confederates who died while incarcerated there. There is a cemetery on the grounds which is accessible to the public. The Island is still a functioning military arsenal, but they do let people drive through to the cemetery. "grave 1881" is where George J. Cloud is buried. Wish I had know it while I was there, I would have gotten a photo of his stone.
