His Confederate Veteran marker is in the wrong place. It is next to the grave of William Harper "Billy" Cooksey, a Confederate veteran from Mississippi. The two men share the same first name and surname, but they are entirely different people. William Harper Cooksey deserves his own marker, and William P Cooksey deserves to have his marker in an appropriate place. You can see the details of William Harper Cooksey's Confederate service in his Find-a-Grave memorial.
