Co K 5th Regiment Louisiana
(http://www.pickettsociety.com/little.html): "General Pickett's widow, Sallie Corbell Pickett, was only the second woman to be buried in the Soldiers' Section of Hollywood Cemetery. The first was Catherine Hodges of Louisiana, who had joined the 5th Regiment, Company K, Louisiana Volunteers as a vivandiere and was in Richmond nursing wounded soldiers when she died in 1862."∼Company K, 5th Regiment La Volunteers
The deceased is well remembered by many of our citizens. She came to Virginia as the vivandiere of her company. It was her intention to nurse the sick and care for the wounded.
Her life was devoted to the Confederate cause. In some of the holiday parades that marked the presence of Southern soldiers here in the early days of the war, with gay red cap and
zouave-like dress, she marched at the head of the command to which she was attached. Her mission was to nurse others, but she herself soon required nursing. She fell sick and died
and was buried with the soldiers—one poor, lone woman among 12,000 men.
