Notes from page 17 of:
THE CAMP, THE BIVOUSC,
AND THE BATTLE FIELD
By GAMMAGE,BRIGADE SURGEON
of MCNAIR'S BRIGADE

We arrived at Camp Jackson on the 5th day of September, and encamped in the timber on the hill-side skirting a large prairie. Camp Jackson is about four miles from Maysville, AR.

Here we remained for a considerable time, and during our stay at this camp we had more sickness amongst the men than I have ever known in one command in so short a time. In the space of 36 days we had about 30 deaths, most of them from diseases following upon an attack of measles.
**************
Francis Coleman Harbour had married Mary Frances Butler 2 May 1861, just 2 months before his death. After his death, Mary Frances lived with her parents, Zachariah Taylor Butler and Jane Rawls Butler until she married Andrew Jackson Calaway 14 May 1863. Mary Frances died in February 1891 but no record has been found for Andrew Calaway's death nor for either of their burial locations.
