Recently mustered as a Union private in the 4th Regt. of the Tennessee Infantry, Company D, Neely J. Tweed, Madison county's first Clerk of Superior Court, as well as a postmaster and school teacher, died of fever　at noon on April 21, 1862 in Flat Lick, Ky at Camp Garber. Tweed was the 4th death in the Regiment. He left Madison Co., NC several months to almost a year after the voting day affray of May 13, 1861 in which Sheriff Ransom P. Merrill (June 26, 1812- early June 1861) was shot.

Any help locating the site of Camp Garber or any other memorials for it are appreciated, as well as any accounts of Neely's burial or attempts to find his gravesite. Clues to why Camp Garber is named 'Garber' may help in locating it.

His name comes from his mother's maiden name and is also inscribed on his wife's obelisk. Variant spellings include Neeley, Nealy, Neelly, Nealie & Nealey.
