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!Military 14 May 1865 Jackson, Hinds, Mississippi [2] Surrender to Gen. Edward Canby. Died 9 May 1917 Dallas, Dallas, Texas [1] Buried Oak Cliff Cemetery, Dallas, Dalls, Texas
