William Flowers
Co K 37 Ala Regt
Confederate States Army
Feb 28 1838   Aug 4 1864


William was captured at the surrender of Vicksburg in 1863.  He was paroled July 9 and at some point he rejoined his regiment.  He was in the line in June of 1864 in the defense of Atlanta. It is reported in a report of the Adjutant and Inspector Generals office that he was killed in battle on August 11, 1864. There was not a general engagement on this date. General Alexander P. Stewart reports that the division (the 37th was in Alpheus Brigade of Stewarts Division) was in line from the Marietta Road to west of Lick Skillet Road and nothing major happened except for constant skirmishing. Perhaps William was killed in the daily pot shots or daily probes that occur along a siege line.
