108 Southern Historical Society Papers.

J. W. Mullins, lieutenant, 6th Tennessee. J. D. Cassaway.

In addition to the above list, there are fifty-two graves, on the headstones of which are engraved the word " Unknown."

Two graves among the number have evidently been cared for by loving friends. The first is that of

G. W. GILLISPE,

CAPTAIN COMPANY D, SIXTY-SIXTH NORTH CAROLINA INFANTRY. DIED SEPTEMBER 9, 1863; AGED 26 YEARS.

Below this inscription there are engraved several Masonic emblems. The other stone bears this inscription:

W. T. NORWOOD,

LIEUTENANT, SIXTH SOUTH CAROLINA INFANTRY.

DIED JANUARY n, 1864; AGED 30 YEARS.

"ANINNUS OPEBUSQUE PARATI/'

There ought to be some stone or monument erected over this group of men, and a fund provided for the care of the spot where sleep so many loved ones, to the Southern heart most dear. Who will start the proper way to begin ?

W. H. H. BLACKMAN.
