VISITED OLD BATTLEFIELDS
H. D. Ward Returns From Trip
to Franklin, Tennessee.
H. D. Ward, of 815 East Fifth street, has just returned from a month's visit at the home of his son, B. W. Ward, in Franklin, Tennessee.
Mr. Ward, who is a Civil War veteran, fought with the Union forces in the battle of Franklin November 30, 1864 and of course had a great interest in the war relics, bringing home many of the old rifle balls and other relics of the war which are plentiful there.
Franklin is 18 miles south of Nashville and Mr. Ward visited General Jackson's home and other interesting scenes and reminders of the Civil War days there. He visited the National Cemetery at Nashville, where 16, 516 Union soldiers are buried. A soldier cemetery at Franklin was the burial of 2,500 Confederate soldiers.
Mr. Ward, who was only 20 years old at the time of the battle at Franklin, was a member of the 77th Ohio regiment. He came through the battle unscathed.
The storm which recently did so much damage at Nashville ruined the grove of fine cedar trees at the General Jackson home. Mr. Ward says. The trees had been set out by General Jackson's negro servant, and were planted in the shape of a guitar.
________________
H. D. Ward, passed away at his home at 615 East Fifth street from heart disease. His first wife Isabella Crawford Ward passed away on November 16, 1919 at their home. His second wife Mary survived him.
Funeral arrangements were cared for by Knell Mortuary and burial was next to his first wife in Park Cemetery.
