It is here I can hear the robin sing, And the bubbling brook down yonder way. Plant me just over the hill, So I can smell the evening meal, And hear Papa working in the fields. Oh my sweet Mother dear, Tell them all not too weep for me, For I won't be lonely there, Underneath that Southern soil. A poem by author: Nancy B. Brewer www.nancybbrewer.com ******************************************************** Defending the Heritage with Philip Hughes The Confederate soldier knew the elements of his success -- courage, endurance and devotion. He knew also by whom he was defeated -- sickness, starvation, death. He fought not men only, but food, raiment, pay, glory, fame and fanaticism. He endured privation, toil and contempt. He fought despite the cold indifference of all and the hearty hatred of some, he will have for all time, in all places where generosity is, a fame untarnished. With a temperament ill suited for the harsh discipline that army life required, fighting half starved in his thread bare clothes, the Confederate soldier was one of the finest warriors to ever take the field of battle in any army, in any war. ~Robert~ *********************************************************** CHILDREN of Solomon Butler Stephens, III and his wife Ibby Manda Underwood Stevens/Stephens are buried in the row of graves with, James Solomon Stevens/Stephens, Flora Flick Stevens/Stephens, Margaret Stanley Stevens/Stephens and Clarence Edward Stevens/Stephens NOTE: Solomon Butler Stephens, III and his wife Ibby Manda Underwood Stevens/Stephens graves are unmarked.
