Veterans: Confederate
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!Residence 1870 Pensacola, Escambia, Florida [5] Died 10 Nov 1875 Pensacola, Escambia, Florida Buried St. Michael's Cemetery, Pensacola, Escambia, Florida
