"Let the record be made of the men and things of to-day, lest they pass out of memory to-morrow and are lost. Then perpetuate them not upon wood or stone that crumble to dust, but upon paper, chronicled in picture and in words that endure forever." --Kirkland
Mississippians at Johnson's Island
By Bobby J. Mitchell
I have recently begun a correspondence with a resident of Oak Harbor, OH. He is interested in the POW camp at Johnson's Island, which is near Oak Harbor. I asked him to search for a possible list of Mississippians buried at Johnson's Island. He searched and found a book "REBELS ON LAKE ERIE", by Charles E. Frohman. The names of the Mississippians were copied just as they were in the book. The list he sent has about sixteen men, some of whom I have located in the MILITARY HISTORY OF MISSISSIPPI, with different variations of spelling. Some of them I have not found at all to this point. Following is a list of men, dates of death, rank, regiment, and the grave number.
