Gus, as he was known, married Winnie Catherine Bagwell abt. 1865 in AL. They had 6 known children.
A soldier in the CSA, Gus first enlisted on April 26, 1862 in Fayette County, AL as a Private in the 32nd. Ala. Regt. Inf. Co. I. On Oct. 7, 1862 he was captured at La Vergne, Tenn., paroled on Oct. 9, 1862 and went home. Re-enlisted as Private on 1863 at Tulahoma, Tenn. in the 32nd. Ala. Regt. Co. I and continued until Battle of Missionary Ridge and wounded. Re-enlisted as Private at Moulton, Ala. in the 42nd Regt., Whatley Co. and continued until spring or close of the war - paroled in Walker Co., Ala.
The gravesite for Gus and Winnie is off the county road about 30 yards in a stand of pines and undergrowth. The land has been sold to a logging company. There is no indication that the graves are there unless you know where to look. Gus' stone is a Confederate marker listing his unit. It has not stood the test of time very well.
Winnie's grave was marked by her stone not too many years ago.
If anyone knows what the proper name for this burial ground, I would be happy to make the necessary changes in the name.-T. L. Harman
