This Memorial is grossly misleading. Trenton Devade Horton was killed in the Battle of Knoxville. The best unconfirmed story about his burial came from his brother who stated he put his brother's dead body on his horse and took him just across the Alabama state line and buried him, (Not in a cemetery) so that he would lie in his home state. None of the family members living in Kyuka, AL ever got to see him again . He is definitely buried here but someone procured the monument and placed it here.
