N.C. Argus, Wadesborough, Anson County, N.C.
In Memorium
Among the heroic dead of Anson County, whose fair names should be enshrined in our memories and whose gallant conduct should be remembered with gratification in all time, is Captain Hampton Beverly, of Wadesborough. On the 2nd of April, 1865, while leading a charge to drive the enemy from a portion of the line which they had captured near Petersburg, he fell, one of the last matyrs of the "Lost Cause". His body was removed by his brother and others to a village near Petersburg and buried in a gentleman's garden. This was a sad hour. His body remained undisturbed where we left it, until a few weeks ago, when by the kindness and energy of Mr. H. A. Crawford, it was removed and brought to his native town, and reburied in the family cemetery.
Note: The family cemetery probably meant family plot since he is buried in Eastview Cemetery.
