From Jimmy C. Stribling, great grandson of Flavious Josephesus Stribling, August, 2011 at the dediction of the CSA marker.

"Sgt. Flavious Josephus Stribling (1821-1899), my great grandfather, was the oldest son of Mark Stribling to serve in the Confederate Army. Flavious served as Justice of the Peace from 1860-1864. He was a deacon in the Rocky Mount Church and was ordained as a minister after moving his letter to the Poplar Springs Baptist Church. He never served as a pastor of a church. His mother gave land for the Poplar Springs Church and Cemetery. Flavious enlisted in Co. K, 3rd MS Infantry (State Troops) at Pittsboro on July 26, 1862. A year later at age 42, Flavious enlisted on Aug. 8, 1863 at Pittsboro with Company B, 8th MS Calvary (which later became a part of the 28th MS Calvary). He was promoted to Sergeant and served to the end of the war. During the war, his house was raided and his barn was burned by Union troops. He was wounded in the foot by a two-inch bullet; the bullet and other items he utilized during the war were maintained by family members for many years until the house burned. In about 1876 the family moved to the Old Field community of north Calhoun where he was active in the Concord Baptist Church. He and his two wives are buried in this cemetery."
