Hi Mark
Thanks for the info. I had Larrys email once but can't find it now. I have
his book and really enjoyed reading it. Larry and I are 3rd or 4th cousins.
Would you check your database for this name ? William M. Collins 1840-
(1863 or 1865). From the Terre Haute area or possibly Prairie Creek or
Prairieton.
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
Larry Liggett in Terre Haute wrote "Coburn's Brigade", the brigade that
the
85th IN Inf was in. He may be able to help you with that. Plus, I bet
he
would be interested in any additional info you have on an 85th soldier.
Reinterrment was very common in the post war era. But usually it was for
soldiers buried in hospital cemeteries or on the battlefield that were
being
reinterred into National cemeteries.
Contact me by email and I will give you Larry's email.

His grave marker here shows he died in 1865. Was it the custom during
or
after the war to move a soldiers body back to his home ? Is he actually
buried in the Memphis area with an empty grave with just a headstone here
?
