iron posts, bearing plate upon WI ich Is

the iron post marks the spot from which

Captain Davis said ne had hoped 70
raise. by private subscription, enough
money to have placed a small monument
ON the spot Of the house, and have
Peace inscribed upon IT, but the death
of Drexel and Chlds and the general

the idea. and so the post similar to those
marking the troops was used Tor the
house also.
Captain Davis says that on the field.
near the house there is a little grave

Confederate soldiers. killed on Arril sth
