I'm the care keeper of the cemetery, where this veteran is laid to rest. He is the only CSA soldier buried and over the years loggers have ran over the cemetery and I've tried my best to keep it clean. The cemetery is located in the piney woods. My health and age is slowly catching up with me. I need help locating any of his relatives. I've dedicated 15 years visiting him.
