Captain, 2d South Carolina Volunteers, C.S.A. Initially buried in the Apple Orchard at Black Horse Tavern. Source: "THE GETTYSBURG DEAD." List of South Carolinians who fell at Gettysburg, whose remains have been removed to Magnolia Cemetery by the Ladies' Memorial Association, of Charleston, S.C. in The Charleston Daily Courier • 6 Jul 1871: "We have not before published the list of Confederate dead brought home from Gettysburg, and interred in Magnolia, preferring to wait until it could be made complete and accurate. The following list has been carefully revised and compared with the records of the Survivors' Association of South Carolina, and may be relied upon as trustworthy. Every element of certainty possible under the circumstances, has been obtained. The exhumation and removal of the remains were made under the personal supervision of the President of the Charleston Memorial Association, in which arduous and delicate task, she received the most cheerful and effective co-operation of friends in Baltimore. Dr. Rufus Weaver, of Gettysburg was untiring in his efforts and kindness, and afforded indispensable aid in searching out the various burial places; verifying the inscriptions upon the head-stones, and assisting in the disinterment and removal of the remains. The members of his household, too, deserve grateful mention for their warm hospitality and many attentions. Mrs. General B. C. Howard, well-known throughout the South as the venerable President of the Southern Relief Association of Baltimore, entered, with characteristic warmth, into the project of giving sepulture to the Carolina dead in their own soil, and afforded invaluable aid. Mrs. H. D. Egerton and Miss McCrae, of Baltimore, who had nursed many of our wounded heroes in the Hospital, and attended their burial, accompanied Mrs. Snowden to Gettysburg, and pointed out their places of burial, cheerfully giving their time and devoted interest to this patriotic and holy purpose. Mrs. Taylor, Miss Tarren and Miss Farthingale, also of Baltimore, rendered most acceptable and timely service to the same end. Through the generous kindness of Mr. David Mordecai, of the firm of Mordecai & Son, of Baltimore, free transportation was given to the remains of our dead from Baltimore to Charleston. To Mr. Frederick Gasales, also of Baltimore, special acknowledgement is due for valuable aid. | List of South Carolinians who fell at Gettysburg, whose remains have been removed to Magnolia Cemetery by the Ladies' Memorial Association, of Charleston, S.C."
