"He fell on the soil of his native state, Tennessee."
Lt. Col. Trezevant was mortally wounded at Thompson Station, Tennessee on March 5th, 1863 and died 2 days later in a Confederate Hospital in Columbia, Tennessee. He has a marker in the CSA Section of Rose Hill Cemetery, Grave #4. This could be an old marker which was not taken up after his remains were removed, or perhaps the marker in Memphis is a "Memorial Marker". Just don't know. The battle was in March 1863 and not 1862.
Suggested edit: In Calvin Collier's 'The War Child's Children' he writes of the aftermath of Thompson's Station:
'Losses on both sides were heavy considering the short space of time involved in the actual fighting. In addition to the death of Colonel Earle of the Third Arkansas, Colonel Trezevant of Forrest's Command was killed in the last minutes of the contest. Altogether the Third Arkansas lost 6 killed and 28 wounded including three excellent junior officers, Captain Stephen Jester and Lieutenant E. D Ward were killed, and Captains J. F. Earle and W. H. Blackwell and Lieutenants Hines and Cleaver were wounded.'
