Maxey reported that the company was suffering from both Measles and Pneumonia in December of 1861. A number of men on the muster roll of the Regiment are shown as dead, but no place or date of death is listed for most of them. It is known from records that some 50 to 60 members of the regiment were ill with measles and/or pneumonia when they arrived at Camp Benjamin. A number are shown on the muster rolls as dead but no date or place of death is given. Seven members of the regiment however, died during the time it was encamped at Camp Benjamin on Onstott Lake. It has never been suggested that NO burials occured here. The only questions involve how many burials and who they may have been. Research included interviews with men who, as boys, had helped their fathers to tend the graves here. No graves are marked today. Onstott Lake was a shallow water body and was not a man made lake. Being a low spot near Bois d' Arc it was caused and kept in existence by periodic overflows during heavy rainy seasons by Bois d' Arc. With the, channeling of part of the creek which traverses Fannin county from the southwest, (east of Whitewright) to Red River near Riverby in northeast Fannin county, there are less overflows than was the case a century ago and the lake no longer exists. The outline of the lake can be determined however, even though much of the bed of the old like is now covered with large timber.
