Campaign: Federal Penetration up the Cumberland and Tennessee
Rivers (1862)

Date(s): February 11-16, 1862

Description: After capturing Fort Henry on February 6, 1862, Brig. Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant advanced cross-country to invest Fort Donelson. On
February 16, 1862, after the failure of their all-out attack aimed at
breaking through Grant’s investment lines, the fort’s 12,000-man
garrison surrendered unconditionally. This was a major victory for Brig.
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and a catastrophe for the South. It ensured that
Kentucky would stay in the Union and opened up Tennessee for a
Northern advance along the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. Grant
received a promotion to major general for his victory and attained
stature in the Western Theater, earning the nom de guerre
“Unconditional Surrender.”

Result(s): Union victory

CROWN HILL CEMETERY PROJECT

On October 3rd 1993 a four year project was completed when a monument was dedicated to 1,616 Confederate soldiers and sailors at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana.

In 1989 two Indianapolis police officers, interested in historical preservation, started an effort to have the mass grave of Confederate prisoners of war properly marked. Four years later, after being joined by such organizations as the Civil War Roundtable, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Sons of Union Veterans, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Southern Club and many other groups and individuals, a new Confederate memorial was dedicated.

In Indianapolis during the Civil War, 1,616 Confederate soldiers and sailors died from the harsh treatment and conditions prevalent in military prisons in those days. These men were being held in Camp Morton, which held approximately 5,000 prisoners at any one time. A total of 15,000 men passed through the camp between 1862 and 1865. Orignally, the Confederates who died while being held at Camp Morton were buried at Greenlawn Cemetery near downtown Indianapolis. Years later when bodies were removed from this cemetery to make way for industrialization, the first monument to the Rebels was removed to a city park. Several years later, the bodies of the Confederates were moved to Crown Hill Cemetery, without their monument.

Since the 1912 monument would no longer fit onto the mass grave site at Crown Hill, a new marker at Crown Hill stated "1,616 Unknown Confederates". But, records from the National Archieves and from the old monument, revealed all of the names, dates of death and ranks of the deceased. So the Crown Hill Cemetery Project was created to right this wrong. This effort proved to be the forerunner of the current Indiana Coalition to Honor Civil War Dead.

At a beautiful ceremony in 1993, before hundreds of onlookers, the new Confederate Memorial was dedicated at a service attended by many officials and relatives of the dead. The keynote speaker was Congressman Andrew Jacobs, a supporter of the project. At this dedication were military honor guards from the United States Army and Civil War reenactors.

Now the 1,616 Americans buried at the Confederate mound in Crown Hill rest in peace, properly recognzied at last.

155 See notes for Thomas Lindsey, son (supposedly) of Bazzle Lindsey and Elizabeth English. Thomas was born in 1843, the year before this James, although according to our records, Bazzle and Elizabeth were not married until 1848. Most likely one or more of the dates involved are incorrect, and we may have either James or Thomas attributed to the wrong mother.

From civilian draft registration cards for Tishomingo Co. 1917-1918:
Lindsey, James K. Polk 1 Apr 1880 W Tishomingo MS
Maybe a son? 
LINDSEY, James K Polk (I2992)
 
156 Served in the Confederate Army. Buried in the Lindsey Cemetery on Highway 25 between Dennis and Belmont. From "A Place Called Belmont" by Jerry Martin.

Note discrepancy: if his father didn't marry Elizabeth English until 1848, and in fact was still married to Polly Davis late enough to have a son by her in 1844, how does this fit with an 1843 birthdate for Thomas? Could we have the wrong mother, or was he actually the son of Elizabeth and a possible first husband, or the illegitimate son of Elizabeth and Bazzle? Or was his mother actually Polly Davis?

Subject: [MSTISHOM-L] Liberty Church of Christ


Here is the article that is in our Tishomingo County History & Families:

Liberty Church of Christ
Sometime late in the 1800's, a group of people met to worship God as best that they knew how. This was the result of two men who had gone to Texas and there heardthe Truth of God and were converted. John Henry Shook and Jack Moody had become members of the body of Christ. John Henry Shook returned first and began to tell others of this new found freedom. Later he was joined in this effort by Jack Moody. In 1889, T. B. Lindsey provided the land for a building to be built. With this new freedom in Christ and the interest in the community, a number of people came together and built the building. The question came up abou the name, seeing that all had helped to put the building up, and all were seeking heaven, the name Liberty was selected to indicate that all could have liberty in Christ. At this time, a man's word was good as his signature and so the deed shows the feelings of the early congregation by providing Liberty in use of the property. This was further indicated by t!
he!
various groups who met there for singings and other occasions. This building had a dirt floor and the windows were left open during services. This was so men could chew tobacco and spit while the preacher spoke. Traveling to worship was not always easy, since most had to either walk or ride in a mule wagon. When they arrived at worhip services, the men and women had to sit on opposite sides of the building. Baptism had to be done in Bear Creek or by damming up someone's branch. Still through all the "inconveniences", the church at Liberty grew and became well know
The original deed was made to Liberty Christian Church but later changed as the church continued to grow in the knowledge of God's word. As they continued to grow, they realized that the church should wear Christ's name instead of the name of His disciples. Thus the name of Liberty Church of Christ.
The charter members were: Mr & Mrs C. M. Burleson, Mr & Mrs J. H. Shook, Mr & Mrs W. W. Shook, Henry Lancaster, J. T. Vaughn, J. C. Johnson. Mr & Mrs. Henry Moore, Mr & Mrs. Jim Carr, T. B. Lindsey and Willis Burcham. The first elders were appointed in 1895. They were C. M. Burleson, J. H. Shook and J. T. Vaughn.
A second building was built in 1946 on the old site. A new building was erected in 1965 and the congregation held services in it for the first time on the first Sunday in August 1965. Today the congregation continues to grow and has approximately 200 members.
Some of the men who have preached at Liberty were:
Richard Rogers, Jimmy Gross, Haskell Sparks, Arnold Shaddock, Ricky Brooks, Jimmy Allen, Paul Spears, Paul Clayton adn Wayne Mitchell. Our current preacher is Tim Spivy.
Liberty has become involved in several Christian works over the years. At one time, they had a children's home that housed several children. They help fund the J. C. Choate Mission Fund, the Waters of Life Program by Haskell Sparks, Sunny Brook Children's Home, Magnolia Bible College, International Bible College, India Radio Program, "Let the Bible Speak" radio program and the Alex Grear Mission Fund. They also have a "Lads to Leaders" program for the youth.

This is my good deed for today!! Enjoy,

170 While in University, tutored footbal players in math.

She and Dad met in the spring of Mom's senior year in high school, when the Baptist Student Union at the Univesity sponsored a social event for h.s. students who would be entering the University in the fall. Mom and Dad were introduced by Dad's roommate and Mom's friend, who were dating. They (Mom and Dad) were paired for a scavenger hunt. Both have always considered that they came home with first prize: each other!

They dated through Dad's senior and Mom's freshman year at the University, then Dad went on active duty with the Army, attending the Engineer Officers' Basic Course at Ft. Belvoir, VA. They were married after her sophmore year, and moved to Virginia.

While Dad was in Iceland, during WWII, Mom moved back to Tuscaloosa and worked as a secretary in the History Dept. at the University.

Mom was always outgoing and social. She was a success as an Army wife, entertaining Dad's fellow officers and their wives, acting as President of the Officers Wives' Club in Hoechst, Germany, etc. After Dad's retirement from the Army in 1961, she became active in the Women's Missionary Union at Calvary Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, serving as President of that organization, teaching SS, serving as department head for the 5th Grade SS, etc. When she learned that many of her neighbors in Mayfair didn't know each other (she had met most of them while walking around the block for exercise) she had a tea to introduce them!

Through back problems (which started with a fall in 1944 or '45), arthritis, fibromyalgia, diverticulitis, etc., Mom remained active. In her 60s, after back surgery, she began working out in a gym, and kept that up until a series of small strokes interfered with her mobility to the point that she could no longer do so.

After Dad's death, Mom moved into a retirement home, where she enjoyed making friends and socializing with other residents. Although she was not as mobile as she would have liked, she was able to get to meals, the beauty shop, etc., using a walker.

On Friday, 16 August 2002, she suffered a stroke which resulted in a brain hemorhage. She lingered for a week without gaining consciousness, and died 23 August 2002. Judy was with her when she had the stroke, I got there the next day and Janet the one after that. All of us, and Richard, were with her off and on in the hostpital.

Don Smith, Chris Smith, Eric Howington, Tony Ward, John McClellan and Patrick MacGran were the pallbearers.
