to take them TO Griffin and inter them in
the family burying ground. The comrades
who laid young jackson TO rest gave the
father a description Of the spot where they
had buried him, telling him about the rude
pine coffin made from the boards taken from
the bridge. After many days of tireless
search, MIR. jackson failed 70 locate his sons

when you see it by the pokeberry bushes
growing upon il. Go and take me UP and
carry me home to mother" So strong an

cavation was made and a few feet below
the earth the rough pine coffin was found,
and in 1t were the remains of young Jack

the coffin and the shoes, which were a pres
emit from the father, but by the name which
