This story gets better and better::: They have a Monument...
He made a monument to his body servant and memorial stained glass window to his wife... I impressed by his desire for people he cared about to be remembered...
Thanks for this thread @5fish.
It brought back many memories.
Prior to my retirement, I worked in Canton, Mississippi.
When I needed to get away from the chaos at the office, I would often spend my lunch hour in the historic Canton Cemetery. I ate many sandwiches by the Harvey Scouts monument.
The Willis Howcott monument was also close by.
n 1917, he also provided a stained glass window at Grace Episcopal Church, Canton,
That's another interesting historic site.
I've been a part of many weddings and funerals at Grace Episcopal.
One other historical note, CSA General Leonidas Polk was one this church's first Episcopalian Priests.
