Thanks to
James N. who had posted a paragraph from Wyeth's book "The life of General Nathan Bedford Forrest" I became aware that this fearless teenage girl Emma Sansom held the vigils by the body of one of Forrest's fallen men, Robert Turner.
And obviously the next day she and her sister buried him on the Sansom Family Cemetery in Gadsden. AL.
Also, I was not aware that she had named her first daughter Mattie Forrest Johnson after General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Unfortunately, the little girl lived only until the age of 5 (1866-1871). She is also buried on the Sansom Family Cemetery:
