According to family tradition, he was taken prisoner by the Union troops during the Civil War. After taking him to Macon, they discovered how sick he was. They placed him on a horse and sent him back to Thomaston, where upon his return home, he died at the age of 16 years.
There is a unmarked cemetery space (lot 1, row 9, space 9) in the Anthony Garnett Smith, Jr. plot at Glenwood Cemetery that tradition holds is the burial site of a Confederate veteran. This may well be the grave of Charles A. Smith.
