Former Civil War prisoners to be honored
By MARK MCGEE
T-G Editor
   Former Confederate Civil War prisoners from Bedford, Franklin, Giles,
Lawrence, Lincoln, Marshall and Williamson counties who died during their 
confinement will be honored Oct. 17 in Lafayette, Ind.
   The ceremony will be held in Greenbush Cemetery at 1 p.m.  A monument 
honoring 38 Confederate POWs will be unveiled and dedicated.  The soldiers,
members of the 32nd and 41st Tennessee Infantry regiments, died during the 
months of March and April of 1862.  They surrendered during the battle of 
Fort Donelson.
   All Tennessee members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans are invited
to attend and participate in the ceremonies, especially re-enactors and
their families.  Re-enactors will march a parade route of less than a mile
from their base camp at a local park to the cemetery.  Tennessee has been
challenged to muster a “second Army of Tennessee” to participate in this
dedication.
   Several Middle Tennessee SCV camps made generous financial contributions 
to the project.
   The Tennessee representative speaker will be.  Tim Morrison, Commander 
of Holman-Boone Camp No. 152, who has five relatives buried in Greenbush.  
Any descendant of these POWs will be honored as a “Distinguished Guest” 
during the dedication.
   Those from Bedford County are Pvt. JOSHUA A. PHILPOTT, Pvt. William 
Solomon, both of the 41st Tennessee, and Pvt, James L. Bradley from Marshall 
County, a member of the 32nd Tennessee.
   An open-air reception will be held at the re-enactors’ base camp after
the ceremony...
