Had the South in her border
A hero to spare,
Or a heart at her altar,
Lo! its life's blood was there!
And the black battle-grime
Might never disguise
The smile of the South
On the lips and the eyes
Of her barefooted boys!Died 9 Aug 1861 Richmond, Henrico, Virginia [1] Buried Raney-Mallory Family Cemetery, Smoky Ordinary, Brunswick, Virginia [6]
