Chris, my great-grandfather was a Confederate Civil War Soldier from Union Co., Ky. He
was in a POW camp at Rock Island KY, and released in 1865.
He died in Henderson KY in Oct 1897, and is supposedly buried in Henderson Cem, where the
family owned a plot. However, a cousin who walked the Cemetary could not find him there
or in the IOOF Cem in Henderson. His name is James Reburn Davenport. His wife was Louisa
Matilda Wathen, she is buried in St Joseph's Cem Evansville.
Does the Tri-County Genealogical Society have records of other soldiers who died and
buried in Henderson, or just Oak Hill Cem in Evansville?
Thanks, Sharon Miller Sheridan
