When the Civil War broke out, Charles and some of the neighboring men, after much thought, prepared to go to the service of the Confederacy. All the wives gathered together to make their men's uniforms, for each man had to supply his own. It took some time, as there were no home sewing machines and everything had to be sewn by hand. Also, all the daily chores of farm life had to be taken care of each day. Finally, all was ready and late of a Sunday afternoon, Charles bid his wife and two children good bye, Frances Ann, was the oldest, and Charles Benton (Bud) Jr. The time was October 1861, as Bud was said to be about 1 year old. Service records show that Charles arrived in Nashville on October 10, 1861 and was mustard into service on October 20, 1861 for a period of 12 months. This company was designated as Captain Hunnlcutt's Company Tennessee Volunteers and Companies 13 and E, 32d Regiment Tennessee Infantry. Charles returned from the war for a visit with his family only once, it was the latter part of January 1862, or the first part of February. That was the last time Sarah ever saw her husband. Some of his friends returned and brought his pocket book back to Sarah and news of his death. The weather had been bad, the camp was a sea of mud and they had nothing but tents to live in. Charles had taken the measles and then pneumonia. Final records show he died May 30, 1862 at Columbus, Miss. and is buried in the Confederate Cemetery. The grave was located and photographed by Charles Benton Browning, 1V, in July 1977. [Notes prepared by Glenn Browning, and sent to me by Ron Graves, [email protected], 19 Nov 2002]
