A Confederate Headstone dedication in honor of Captain Alfred Able Smith was held on 10-7-2001 at the family burial site in Northern Coffee County. The ceremony, with the unveiling of the monument (given by the VA), was impressive with the procession of the Color Guard (a group of Sons of Confederate Veterans from Brunswick, Ga). The ceremony marked the culmination of much work from surviving family members and volunteers. The old cemetery sat undisturbed since 1875, and was in near ruins.
