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.

Near the edge of the cemetery there are military markers for five soldiers: Robert F. Tabor, William Bethel Tabor, James Richard Crump, Wesley A. Keener, and Reuben Hammett. These are cenotaphs for men buried in northern Alabama and Virginia. War was hard for families of the Duck Springs area of DeKalb County.  These men and their families were kin and neighbors.

Wesley Keener enlisted in Captain J. Edward’s Company February 10, 1862. He was the son of Lavinia Hamitt who was married to Reuben Hamett. Wesley’s father-in-laww Rueben joined the same company on February 25, 1862.  Reuben’s brother Jesse Hamett was already a member of Captain Edwards company when Reuben and Wesley enlisted. 

In June of 1862, T.L. Battles and John Thomas signed affidavits attesting to Wesley and Reuban Hamitt joining Company G of the 31st Alabama.  According a card in Jesse’s records Captain Edward’s the 49th Regiment of Alabama Infantry, was successively designated as the 53rd (Hale’s) Alabama Infantry, 31st Regiment (Edward’s) and finally the 49th Alabama.

Wesley and Reuben both died in the hospital in Huntsville, Alabama. Reuben died on March 10, 1862 and Wesley died March 13, 1862. 

Jesse’s Hamett’s wife Emma signed an affidavit on May 16, 1862 stating that Jesse died of pneumonia in route home on March 10, 1862. His burial place is not known however,  there is a recent Confederate military marker at Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville. There are there are 187 unknown Confederate soldiers buried in this cemetery. My thoughts are that Wesley and Reuban are likely buried here also. 

On Wesley’s Find A Grave memorial page Charlie Hammett explains that these three men died of measles that was rampant in the camps in Nashville. The 49th was organized in Nashville in January of 1862.

William Bethel Tabor and Robert F. Tabor were sons of John Francis Tabor and Agnes Crump. Bethel enlisted in Company I of the 10th Alabama in Montgomery on June 4, 1861. Shortly afterwards the regiment was sent to Virginia where it was brigaded under General E.K. Smith with the 9th and 11th Alabama and the 19th Mississippi near Manassas and Centerville.  In September Bethel was sick with Febris Typhoides (Typhoid Fever). He died September 5 in Camp near Bristow Station.  His burial spot is not known. 

After his brother died in service of the Confederacy 18 year old Robert F. Tabor enlisted in Company I in the spring of 1862 in Gadsden. After reporting to camp in Virginia he became sick and was admitted to Chimborazo Hospital #3 in Richmond. He died on May 8, 1862. John is buried in Sec D, Row 34, Grave 5 in Oakwood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. 

James Crump enlisted in Gadsden by Captain A.A. Hughes on March 1, 1862. In April he was present for the siege of Yorktown. On May 4, 1862 he was admitted to Chimborazo Hospital #2 with rubeola (measles). He was transferred supposedly to another hospital in Lynchburg on May 9. In late August he was admitted to Chimborazo Hospital No. 11 in Richmond with Cholera Morbus. On September 16 he was sent to a Huguenot Springs Hospital in Powhatan County, Virginia. He remained healthy until wounded in battle at Salem Church where the regiment lost over a fourth of it’s strength. In June he was admitted to 2nd Alabama Hospital in Richmond and he died June 28, 1863. He is buried in Section A, Row J, Grave 124 of Oakwood Cemetery.

John Bell Rogers enlisted I. Captain A. Lea’s Company in Thomason’s Battalion of Alabama Calvary on August 30, 1862 in Head Springs, Alabama. In April of 1863 Thomason Battalion was consolidated with Malone Battalion of Calvary to form the 7th Alabama Calvary and the company became Company I of the regiment. Subsequently the 7th became the 9th Alabama Calvary (Malones).  Thus the reason for the “Co. I 9 Regiment 7 Ala Cav” inscription. 

In Chattanooga on November 27, 1862 Rogers was furloughed sick for 40 days. Sometime in early December of 1863 John B. Rogers crossed over to Union lines at Nashville, took the oath of allegiances at the military prison in Louisville, Kentucky. He was sent north of the Ohio River.
