Henry Crawford Arrington is listed on the Confederate Graves Registry as buried in this Cemetery. He is ID # 137273 and they say he enlisted in 1863. He was a Corporal in Company C of the 28th GA Seige Artillery. Source is cited as his Confederate Service Record from Fold3. See cgr.scv.org. He does NOT have a pension application as he and his wife died before pensions were fully established in GA.
Mr. H.C. Arrington peacefully passed away Saturday morning at 5 o'clock. His death was no surprise, as he had been in declining health for many months, and from the time he took his bed, his family realized that his life was slowly ebbing out. Mr. Arrington was born in Twiggs county in 1822, moved to Sumter in 1853, and settled near Shiloh, being the oldest member of that church. His life was marked and bounded by the golden rule and he enjoyed the high esteem and respect of his neighbors.
A few months ago he moved to Ellaville to be near his children, and here he gathered about him many friends. The deceased leaves an aged wife and seven children. The funeral took place from the Baptist church Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. The building was filled to its utmost capacity by those who had come for miles around to pay the last respects to their departed friend. Dr. Griffin conducted the solemn funeral service, dwelling at length on the many virtues of the dead. The casket was covered with beautiful floral designs. The following gentlemen acted as pall bearers: Messrs. J.M. Murray, Eugene Dixon, J.R. Williams, T.A. Collins, A. Allen and R.C. Wells.
Mr. Arrington was a loving husband and an affectionate father and a true friend and will be greatly missed, especially in the home circle, but may the bereaved find comfort in the thought that he has gone to that land where the sunlight never fades, where burdens are laid down, all sorrows forgotten, and peace like a river flows through every soul.
