Just a few details on Beverly Condley. 4 days after 'voluntary' enlistment Marmaduke's regiments went to Memphis, TN, for 2 weeks and then were ordered to Bell Station, 25 miles north of Bowling Green. That was where John W. Morris tried to desert, and got caught. One January night Marmaduke took 600 men to surprise about 1000 Union troops who had crossed the Green River. That was the night Morris tried to go AWOL. After that night march the regiment fell back on Murfreesboro, TN. They had had to do a night march in a road that was all mud and water, and being January it was probably verycold. Their shoes got wet, and their feet blistered badly, so the shoes were all full of blood and water. Morris got pneumonia out of this experience, and after 2-3 days in Murfreesboro a lieutenantcame to the area where all the sick were to get all the sick men who could walk a mile. I presume this was the distance to the train station, as Morris was the only man able to walk that far,and he wassent to hospital in Atlanta, GA. When Morris got home after Shiloh he had to tell two sisters that their husbands were dead....Castleberry and Condley. Of Beverly Condley he says "...for when the word came to Murfreesboro for every man that could walk to go to the depot, Morris left Beverly Condley there, not able to walk, and never more was he heard from. He died, no doubt, right there...."Probably of pneumonia as well.
