REVEALED IN A DREAM.
How . Father of = Boy in Gray Re.

How . Father "f = Boy In Gray Re.
eOvered His SOn's k~naiss.
One OF the bloodiest battles fought
on Georgia soil during the late va.
was that of Rrssca, says the Atlanta
Journal. Among the many patriotic
youths who took arms in defense %
Southern independence was the Is.
vexr-oId son Of Jethro Jackson. of
Griffin. Ga, and the brave boy met
his death At the battle Of Resaca. He
was dearly beloved by his comrades,
and they gave him little better burial
than usually tails TO the lot of those
who die upon the field Of battle.
With rough boards taken from the
bridge near by they mxae him y rud..
coffin, and tenderly and lovingly
placed him under the sod.
1t was some time in the spino OF
1860, that Nj. J-thro jackson wen,
to Resaca to look for the grave Of his
son. He wished to find the remains.
and to take them to the Griffin and
inter them i" 'he family bur,ing
ground. The comrades who laid
yoL"g Jackson to rest gave the father
q 'iescri piion Of the spot where they
had hurled him, telling him about the
rude pune coffin made from the boards
taken from the bridge. After many
days Of tir-less search Mr.. Jackson
failed to locate his sons grave, and
returned TO his home in Griffin.
A few niph hts after his return he
dreamed that his son came t. him and
pointed out the spot where he was
buried. The dream was like a vision.
H. saw his son standing beside his
he'd, and heard him say:
"F~th-r, an buried under a
mound which was thrown up nv the
Yankees after | was killed. You n,ll
know the mound when you see it by
the pokeherry bushes growing upon
It. Go and take me up and carry me
home to mother"
s" strong MI impression did this
dream make upon Mr.. jackson, tina,
he returned IT once to Resara, taking
with him one Of the comrades who
had buried his son. The mound was
found just rs described in the dream.
aud the p"k-herries were growing
upon it. An excavation was made.
and few feet below the earth the
rough pire coffin was found, and in
It were the remains of young jackson
He was fully iden,ii. d, not only nv

tame which was on the clothing.
