them to Griffin md inter them in the

The comrades who laid -c::-. y...,vu
to rest Gave the father description of
the spot where they had buried him, tell
ing him about the rude pine coffin made
from the boards taken from the bridge.
After many days of tireless search. .Ms-
jackson failed to locate his sons grave,
and returned to his home in Griffin. A
few nights after his return he dreamed
that his son came to him and pointed out
the spot where he was buried.
The dream was like vision. He saw
his con standing besrle his bed and heard
him say
Father, l am buried under a mosnd
which was thrown up after was killed.
You will know the mound when you see
It by the pokeberry bushes growing upon
It. Go and take me up and carry me
home to mother"
30 strong an impression did this
dream make upon Mr.. Jackson, that he
returned at once to Resaca, taking with
him one Of the comrades who had buried
his son.
The mound was found just as de.
scribed in the dream, and the pokeberries
were growing upon it. An excavation
was made, aud few feet below the
