Esau Jackson born 18 October 1923 and died in service 22 October 1952 - was listed at that cemetery in U.S., Headstone Applications for Military Veterans, 1925-1963. Idella A Jackson was the applicant.

If nothing does materialize on here.....................

You could join Find A Grave (free) and create a memorial page for Esau Jackson at St Mary's Cemetery, Minter City Mississippi and then request a photograph - its explained here -  How to submit a photo request.  Hope this helps.

Thanks, Sandra,

Thanks for the information & the link about find a grave.

It would be nice to have a photo of the headstone, and also to have some confirmation that his mother was also buried in the same cemetery & maybe any other members of his family that may be buried there.

Cheers,

Jac

Check out the Greenwood-Lefore County Library at:

They might be able to help with an obituary, or suggest someone who could take a photo of grave marker.
