Mississippians at Johnson's Island The Gray Ghost, July-Aug 1996 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. Lt. or Capt. J N WILLIAMS, d 8 Dec 63, 6^th Miss Inf, Grave No. 117 Lieut. F G W COLEMAN, d 8 Dec 63, 7^th Miss Artillery, Grave No. 119 Lieut. Joseph LAWAHE (or James), d 25 Dec 64, Co. C, 18^th Miss Cav, Grave No. 124 Lieut. Wm. PEEL, d 17 Feb 65, Co.
