Stephen D. Dickerson enlisted in Company D of the 25th Georgia at Causton’s Bluff between Tybee and Savannah on October 7, 1862. According to his service record he was captured by the Federal troops at Ringgold on November 28, 1863.  The 25th was brigaded with several other Georgia regiments under Claudius Wilson in Walker’s Division and was assigned a position on the crest of Missionary Ridge near Tunnel Hill on the north end of the ridge. On the evening of the 24th Dickerson’s regiment would have been in retreat with the rest of the Army of Tennessee south from Chattanooga toward Ringgold and Dalton. Over the next four days the Union Army pushed Johnston south with Cleburne stopping the Union advance in Ringgold Gap on the 27th. General Grant reports the capture of over 6000 Confederates. Stephen must have been one of those. 

By January he was in or near Nashville as he was admitted to Military Hospital Number 1 on January 4, 1864 with inflammation of the lungs, also diagnosed as double pneumonia.  Stephen died January 7 and was buried in City Cemetery in grave 5999. On the Record of Death and Interment it is noted that he was twenty-five years old and had a wife in “…Swaynesboro, Emanuel Co. Ga.”
