Buried:Callis-McKissick Cemetery, Benton Co., Ark.--Service Unit:Captain.-Confederate Veteran Magazine:v.12,p.130-Text: Many hearts were saddened by the news of the death of "Uncle" Dan McKissick at his home near Hiwasse, Benton Co., Ark. He was known and loved by almost every one in the county, and a kindlier, truer spirit never inhabited mortal body. In the tribute by Camp Cabell, of Bentonville, of which he was a member, the following is given of his life: "Daniel R.McKissick was born in Bedford Co., Tenn. in Aug.27,1817. He came to Benton Co, Ark., when seventeen years of age, and lived for sixty eight years at the home where he died. He was a soldier of two wars-a private in the war with Mexico and a Captain in the Confederate army-and as a soldier he was always at his post of duty among the bravest of the brave and ever true to the principles for which he fought. Intensely Southern in all his feelings, he never doubted for a moment that the cause of the South was a just and holy cause. " Capt. McKissick was a man of remarkably strong character-a modest, brave, just, and fearless man in every relation of life, an no man of the county was more loved and respected than he. On the 13th of Oct.,1903, he was laid to rest by the old comrades of the Confederate army who knew him best and loved him most, and there by the side of father and mother he awaits the resurrection morn. A loving and devoted wife is left to mourn his loss."-Per Miller & Lounsbury & More - August 2010 Family Tree: Spouse: Amanda Sophronia Callis (1841-1929) Married Mar.5,1868 Benton Co., Ark.
