S. Bandt has his death in Middleton, Rhea County, Tennessee.

Thomas received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania, where the young men of Virginia usually went for this type of professional training. On a visit to his uncle, Isaac, in Memphis, Dr. Moon and his family were passangers on a boat that was stricken with CHOLERA. He sent his family ashore, and although most of the passangers had left the boat he remained on board to treat those who couldn't escape the plague. He contracted the disease and died in Tennessee.

His wife remarried:
Dawson, Tolliver Bostic-Vol.19,1911-MRS. HELEN V. DAWSON.

Mrs. Helen V. Dawson was born in Little Rock, Ark., in 1836, and died at her home, in Causey, N. Mex., on May 14, 1911. She left two children, a daughter (Mrs. Mary Frances Hart, who was living with her) and a son (John Bostic Dawson, of Dardanelle, Ark.). Her husband, Tolliver Bostic Dawson, enlisted in the first company of volunteers at Dardanelle, Ark., and was killed at that place in 1864. His brother, Henry Clinton Dawson, enlisted in the same company, and was killed at Oak Hill, Mo., in August, 1861. No soldier in the Confederate army was truer to the cause than was Mrs. Dawson. She went through all the hardships of a soldier's wife, and with her son, Thomas Barclay Moon, then eight years old, toiled by day and far into the night to keep a home and bread for themselves and three younger children while the husband and father was away fighting for their beloved Southland. She was ever ready at the risk of her own safety to help any Confederate soldier who came her way, and now will enjoy the reward that comes to those who were faithful to the end.
