I got this from one of my other lists and thought it might benefit someone else out there Kristina dolfinmom4@aol.com << There has been recent success in locating the mass graves of Confederate Soldiers who died at the Grand Hotel Hospital in Point Clear, Baldwin County, Alabama. Pepper Bryars, the son of one of the Bonnie Blue Flag Chapter of the UDC's most active members, recently wrote an article for the "Mobile Register" which described recent activities which have been successful in locating the actual grave sites in the Confederate Rest section of the Point Clear Cemetery. Mr. Bryar's wrote: Alex Smith and John Rather, two Civil War historians in Baldwin County, used radar equipment in March to scan the "Confederate Rest" section at Point Clear Cemetery. They found evidence of three large trenches they believe are the final resting places of about 150 Confederate soldiers, mostly Missourans injured during the bloody Vicksburg, Miss., campaign in 1863. Since the publication of this headline story in the Mobile Register, several additional soldiers have been identified. The entire article is located at: www.al.com/news/mobile/Jan1999/3-a200532a.html Smith and Rather hope to dedicate CSA grave markers in August 1999 during the National Convention of the Sons of Confederate Veterans which will be held in nearby Mobile, Alabama. Please alert your fellow Confederate descendants to this search so that as many soldiers as possible may have names on gravestone.
