My family bought a farm with cemetery included, grave stones from the 1800’s. There’s some wild shite on some of the headstones.

There was an old well nearby that I had to fill in
That well would be on a USGS map. I would metal detect all around that area.
The theory of the household being underwater might be true but why would they have built the home on some of the lowest ground on the property?

my buddy's hunting lease in north La has a family grave site on it. Dates from the late 1700s to early 1900s. cant even read most of the stones, but you can clearly see the masonic symbol at the tops.
eerie feeling walking around that one.

There is an old site outside Belzoni on wasp lake with a graveyard from the 1800s and and old well where a house site used to be. Rumor was the place is haunted, widow lived at the house that was raped and murdered by two teens and thrown in the well.
Drove back in those woods one night in high school while drinking to check it out. Some as we drove over the levee into the clearing near the woods my truck died. No lights, nothing. No phone service. We started walking back to the road to call for a ride, and on top of the levee staring at us was an apparition clear as day. Like smoke in the vague shape of a woman. Got yhe hell out of there.
Went back next morning to get my truck and tow it home, got in it and it cranked right up. I’ll never fricking go back there

Looks like he was Company E, 3rd Battalion, Mississippi Infantry. Surprised that's not on his marker?
Interesting that his marker has Masonic square and compass.
Might be some traceable history of this guy.

Everyone we have will usually have mimosa trees, ancient cedar tree, and awesome wildflowers/bulbs around them. The housesite would be in the flowers usually.
It's pretty cool to imagine the wife of the house planting that bulb 200 years ago.

Being that they are veterans, the US government is required by law to build a road to the grave sites. So be careful broadcasting this info if you don’t want the government going onto your land and visitors with unfettered access.
Just saying. We may or may not have the same circumstances

John Flowers (1820 - 1903) - think about the events of his life:
Born during the Monroe presidency - a founding father.
Would have been 16 during the Battle of the Alamo and 29 during the California Gold Rush. In his middle/old age lived to see the Civil War, the invention of the light bulb, the Statue of Liberty and, during the month he passed, man's first powered flight. (The link above to the genealogy site says he passed in 1902, but the marker itself says 1903.)
What a time to have been alive?

I was able to track down the original owner of my land via blm land grant and luckily he and his wife die are buried in a church cemetery just down the road and not on the land. I do know that you can still establish family cemeteries on private land. So I guess you could keep it going should you choose to be buried on your land.

Why do people post stuff like this? Show me the law that is enforced, show me proof that he is even a vet. Show me proof that he's even for sure buried there, those could just be memorials.
The gub'mint would go broke building roads to every vet that is buried in some woods in a family/church cemetery that was forgotten about a century ago.

He heard that once from a buddy while drinking at the camp so he repeats it as knowledge so he is more of an outdoorsman than the next

My grandparents got a piece of property from my grandmother's uncle in the 1930s. It has a graveyard on it. Supposedly most of the people in it died in the influenza outbreak in 1918.
Most of the graves just have head and footstones with no markings. You can see entire families laid out by height.
The grandparents of one of the judges back home are buried there. He used to come visit, but I never saw anyone else come. I assume it was because entire families were wiped out.

They will also furnish a new headstone if it’s missing or unreadable.
It’s called Veterans Affairs…

Good of you to keep them maintained as best you can.
