Dear List Members, I need help locating the grave of my confederate ancestor buried somewhere in Aberdeen in 1862. He die din a local hospital during the war and is buried around Aberdeen in a marked grave, according to online listings of confederate soldiers buried in Monroe County. His name is Pvt James M. Phillips Co. D 50th Ala Inf May 18, 1862. Is there a published survey of cemeteries in and around Aberdeen? I would like to know which cemetery he is buried in, and I would like to know if someone could help me get a picture of his marker. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Dr. W. A. Evans created a survey of Monroe County's white cemeteries in the mid 1930s that has been in the Evans Memorial Library for years. In 1980, the Columbus MS Library published this. I don't have a personal copy of it, but you could probably call either the Amory or Aberdeen library and get someone to do a lookup. My guess is that your ancestor is in the Old Aberdeen Cemetery, but I can't state that with any certainty. Jerry Anderson Harlow has a copy of the book, I believe. Her email is [email protected] but she's been having computer problems so she may or may not respond. Lori Thornton "Robert C.
