After more than TEN years looking, I have FINALLY found the gravesite of my 2xg-grandfather Henry Martin Walker, Sr.! He is apparently interred in an unmarked grave at Chalmette National Cemetery in New Orleans. (The recorder got the initials wrong in the above record book.)
There are a lot more details I need to gather before updating this blog with a proper post; Including calling the cemetery superintendent's office tomorrow to confirm the record. There is no listing for any of the men from the trainwreck on any public National Park Service database. Does the NPS not include men in unmarked graves?
But this news was way too big for me to not shout it to the world!
