CSA Co. K, 36th Infantry.
James Asa Anderson, is the son of Asa Anderson and grandson of James Anderson. James Asa Anderson served in the War for Southern Independence with the rank of private. He came home on leave with measles or contracted measles while on leave, died shortly thereafter from complications, and was buried in the Mason Cemetery. This information was told to both Mrs. Knotts and Robert Lee Anderson in 1989, by Mrs. Rosa Lee Anderson Bush who at this time was 99 years of age.
Mrs. Knotts, Mr. Anderson and others believe the referenced Mason Cemetery —because of Anderson kin known buried here is actually the Old Union Cemetery, and was known by others as the Mason Cemetery. As to why the name Mason Cemetery? We can only speculate that there may be surname Mason family buried here or either it was because of the Masonic emblems engraved on J. R. Smith and John W. Well's grave markers.
