According to my research and the over 20 muster rolls, George Madison Champion was a Private in Company K 18th Regiment Mississippi .. I also don't have any record of his burial or death. This stone says George W Champion and i know there are records with him also. George M did fight in the Wilderness Campaign but I am confused about the other info listed here. Thank you
