David Frank Anders' headstone at Mount Vernon Methodist Church Cemetery in Amite County, Mississippi has an incorrect date for his death.
It shows 1863 -- his family mistakenly thought he was killed at the Battle of Murfreesboro,
Tennessee in 1863 -- that is where the marker's death date comes from.
However, Confederate War Records show that he was active during 1864 up until the time of the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee in November 1864. (records analyzed from the web site fold3.com)
