Church at Bartow. The family meant to remove him after the war to the church
cemetery, but this had not been done when Margaret died in 1865, and she was
laid to rest beside him.
One of the Civil War battles was fought on their homeplace; Will and Henry
carried their mother to 52nd VA Regiment camp, which was principally from
Augusta, as she was ill. She remained there during the night.
