From a Franklin News Post article dated July 1999 under the headline of "Confederate Marker Dedicated," comes the following: "Ferrum -- A Confederate Memorial Marker for Civil War soldier William Peters was dedicated recently at Peters' final resting place. William Peters was a Private in Company C of the 57th VA Infantry, CSA. William Peters took part in Pickett's Charge & died on 4 July 1863, a day after being shot in the head. My question concerns the phrase "final resting place" used in the newspaper article. I take that to mean that William Peters is buried in Ferrum. According to "Nothing But Glory: Pickett's Division at Gettysburg," by Kathy Georg Harrison & John W. Busey, William Peters died of his wounds at an unknown hospital and is buried at an unknown location. William Peters is not on a list of disinterments from the Gettysburg battlefield. So, how can Ferrum be his "final resting place?" I am betting that a memorial to him was placed in a family cemetery & that Peters' remains rest beside other Confederates in a mass grave at Gettysburg. I look forward to reading your comments.
