While at the Tippah Co. (MS) Historical Museum researching the graves of two unknown Federal soldiers I was told about this grave of an unknown Confederate soldier killed during the same skirmish but about 5 miles from the site of the Federal graves. This grave is just slightly in the woods alongside a country road (near the intersection of Antioch Road and Tippah Co. # 420).

Ripley, Miss. - My boyhood was spent in Northern Mississippi not far from
Shiloh, Corinth, Holly Springs and other Civil War points of engagement. In mid-March I was in the small town of Ripley and came across these graves alongside a city street and in the yard of a private residence. Research at the Tippah County Historical Museum revealed that these were the graves of two Federal (Union) soldiers killed while retreating from the rout of the Federal Army by a much smaller Confederate force under the command of Nathan Bedford Forrest at the battle of Brice's Crossroads. They have been tended by the staunchly southern but respectful and honorable folks of this town for nearly 150 years.
