"Headstones for Tennesseans and Virginians.--

"The Tennessee Association of Confederate Soldiers has a letter from the Ladie's Memorial, of Charlottesville, Va., stating that the following named Tennessee soldiers are buried there and asking contributions to put headstones at their graves:

Adams, E. S., Co. I, 14; Moore, D. C., Co. E, 14; Bayless, R. B., Co. K, 43; Pengen, J., Co., G, 14; Donald, T. J., Co. E, 14; Richards, B. P., Co. B, 7; Forester, T., Co. C, 7; Vaughne, G. N., Co. B, 1; Kelso, J. I., Co. G, 1; Watt, J., Co. D,1.

"Any contributions sent to Col. Jno. P. Hickman, Nashville, will be forwarded to the Ladies, and proper credit will be given to the donors."

I would like to identify the cemetery in question and also, if possible, if these graves were so marked. Especially R. B. Bayless, 43rd Tennessee.

Thanks in advance,

George Martin
