Company E, 48th Nixon's Tennessee Infantry and 48th (Voorhee's) Tennessee Infantry C.S.A.
Was in Bowling Green Camp with Martin McClain, son of John and Elizabeth McMillan McClain


Tread lightly, 'tis a soldiers grave,
A lonely, mossy mound;
And yet to hearts like mine and thine
It should be holy ground.

Speak softly, let no careless laugh,
No idle, thoughtless jest,
Escape your lips where sweetly sleeps
The hero in his rest.

For him no reveille will beat
When morning beams shall come;
For him, at night, no tattoo rolls
Its thunders from the drum.

Tread lightly! for a man bequeathed,
Ere laid beneath this sod,
His ashes to his native land,
His gallant soul to God.
