Florida Augusta Evans was the daughter of Samuel Robinson Evans and Mary Ann "Polly" (Cowan) Evans; granddaughter of Revolutionary War soldier James Evans and Rose (Kyle) Evans.
She married in Greene County, Alabama, in 1852 to the Hon. William Murphy Inge, attorney and later judge, and speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives. Her aunt Elizabeth Evans was the wife of James Wier (Weir), also speaker of the Mississippi House.
Her sister Cornelia Evans moved to Texas and married Maj. Franklin Lodowick Denison, journalist, editor and founder of the Waco Register, the Belton Courier and the Belton Reporter.
Her story: "I am Augusta Inge. In April 1862, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston made his headquarters in my home, Rose Cottage. I was so happy to have the leader of the Confederate Army at my house as a guest! On the day the Army left for Shiloh, I gave the General a lunch for the journey. He refused it saying that he, like his soldiers, traveled light. I slipped two sandwiches and a piece of cake in his pocket anyway. When I heard the horrifying news from Shiloh that General Johnston had been killed, my heart just ached. They brought his body back to my house for preparation for the last journey home. In his pocket, I found crumbs from the lunch I had prepared. Perhaps it was his last meal. I took the liberty of taking three locks of his hair from his head (one of which I sent to his widow) before they placed his body in one of the white pine coffins that he had ordered before leaving the City for Shiloh."

POET LAUREATE FOR TENNESSEE S. C. V.
A notable honor has come to the venerable Mrs. Augusta Evans Inge, of Corinth, Miss., in the appointment as poet laureate for the Sons of Confederate Veterans of Tennessee, conferred especially in appreciation of her ode on the unveiling of the Confederate monument at Shiloh National Park. Another poem, "Memory Bells of the Battle of Shiloh," was read at a recent meeting of the Sons of West Tennessee.
"Mrs. Inge reached the age of eighty-six on the 11th of June, but age does not check her activity, and she continues her literary work with the same enthusiasm and ability as in her earlier years. She is a namesake of her relative, the noted writer, Augusta Evans, and the widow of Col. W. M. Inge, who was one of the leading lawyers of Mississippi. She holds the office of Honorary President of the Mississippi Division, U. D. C, and many friends give her the name of "Mother of the Confederacy." It is possible the author of the above statement was misled by the date of an article about her eighty-sixth birthday published on June 11, 1920.
History of Alabama & Dictionary of Alabama Biography, vol. 3 (1921) by Thomas M. Owen, pp. 878 and 883, also refers to her as a cousin of novelist Augusta Evans Wilson.
Part of a poem published in Confederate Veteran Magazine, Feb. 1913, p. 73, by Mrs. Augusta Evans Inge, written to honor the Confederate dead around Battery Robinette:
"To the Unknown Confederate dead
Whose dust mingles with the blood they shed,
A tablet is placed to mark the site
Where heroes died for Southern rights,
Brave Texas soldiers left their homes,
Their country's call to heed,
For Southern rights were first at heart
And this the hour of need.
They met the foe; their ranks were swept;
They fell with armor bright.
All honor to our brave defenders
Who died for equal rights!
No tattoo beats, no roll of drum,
Nor bugle's stirring strain
Can awake the silent sleepers
That here so long hath lain.
Sleep on, courageous soldiers:
We would not disturb thy rest
We know our Heavenly Father's will
For a nation He knoweth best.
Treat softly; this peak is sacred ground;
The Southern soldiers sweet peace have found;
Their bodies lie beneath this sod,
Their souls forever with their God."
