Davenport’s obituary is posted on his Find a Grave memorial:

"Z. T. Davenport was born near Valley Head, Ala., November 17, 1845, and died January 6, 1922. Early in 1863 he enlisted in the service of his country and was a member of Company A, 1st Alabama Battalion Cavalry, in which he served faithfully to the end of the struggle. He was in the battle of Selma, Ala., under General Forrest, which was fought after the surrender at Appomattox.

"He was married to Miss Amanda Alman, December 14,, 1871. To this union were born two children, a son and daughter. The daughter, Mrs. Jesse Barnard, is still living.

"In 1883 Comrade Davenport joined the M. E. Church, South. He and the writer because attached to each other when small boys and had been lifelong friends. He was a man of veracity, industry, economy -- true to his family, true to his Church, and true to his country. He was always cheerful and spread sunshine wherever he went. He was a member of Camp Estes No. 1659, U. C. V., was a regular in his attendance, and was always the life of the occasion. For several months prior to his death he was a great sufferer, but he bore it all patiently and died peacefully and triumphantly.

He leaves a daughter, two grandsons, several brothers, and a host of friends to mourn his loss.

"Clothed in his Confederate uniform, he was laid to rest in the Valley Head Cemetery, there to await the resurrection morn."

The following is posted on Mahaffey’s Find a Grave memorial:

July 6, 1863 Richard Mahaffey died of Pycemia of Vaccination. Effects of deceased sodier ($43.50) turned over to Quartermaster, C.S.A. 1963 (Conf. Arch. Chap.10, File No. 21, pg.405). Name appeared on a list of sodiers killed in battle, or who died of wounds or disease, Certificate number 1679, "remarks" Q.M.R. (Conf. Arch., Chap. 10, File No. 2, pg.169). Measles and small pox killed many many soldiers, and the military vaccinated soldiers and civilians in mass in an effort to forstall an epidemic. Richard died from pyacemia, which is blood poisoning or general septicemia, resulting from the absorption of septic matter into the circulation. An ulcer developed from a measles vaccination. Vaccination material, live virus, was obtained from a blister on an individual with an active case of measles. If the amount given was too great, or if the sample taken was septic, the recipient could easily contract measles as well as blood poisoning. Richard developed an ulcer at the point of the vaccination, then measles, and, finally, blood poisoning according to the records. Imagine how he must have suffered for those 8 days in a hot, un-air conditioned hospital in the month of July at Tunnel Hill, Georgia! When I visited the site of the Tunnel Hill hospitals and the Tunnel during the annual reinactment, we saw photographs of the actual hospitals. "There were so many hospitals at the Tunnel Hill location," one observer said that "it looked like a city." "The Tunnel Hill location was an excellent site for the hospitals, because there was abundant fresh water from a spring on the site, the railroad provided easy transport of patients, and the mountain on the North side of the hospital provided protection from the enemy." The following from the Tunnel Hill Historical Foundation, the Daily Citizen. The Tunnel Hill Historical Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of historic sites in and around Tunnel Hill, GA. 138th Anniversary Reenactment, September 7-8, 2002, beginning on page 34. "... from the battlefields of Chickamauga, Ringold and the cemetery at Tunnel Hill. The following note was made on the lists that were kept as the soldiers remains were disinterred. 'They were buried at Tunnel Hill in the Citizens' Graveyard, about one mile from the village on the Cleveland wagon road. Thirteen of these were in the east part of the Graveyard commencing at the South end. Thirty-five were put in the cars for shipment from Ringgold last Wednesday and we suppose reached their destination before this. Ninety were placed in the cars at Tunnel Friday evening and will go forward Monday next.' The first three removals began in May 1867; the second, October, 1867 and the final removal concluded July 28, 1869. The firm of Scott & Lyle of Dalton was paid $1,427.70 for the removal and shipment of 1126 Confederate remains. They were received at the Confederate Memorial Cemetery in Marietta, GA, for re-burial and still rest there today. As a December 1999, sixty-seven names of soldiers removed from Tunnel Hill have been identified. Their names were gathered from several sources and are listed below" (Beginning with Alabama) Number 9. was - Mahaffey, Richard d: July 6, 1863 Pvt. Co.
