The memorial is to four brothers. These men were the children of David and Martha Humphrey. In 1860 John, David, and Andrew were living with their parents in Chattooga County, Georgia. James, the oldest son, was living near Alpine Georgia across the state line in Cherokee County, Alabama. When war came brothers enlisted the Confederate Army. None would make it back home. 




James enlisted in Company D of the 34th Georgia Infantry in 1862. This company raised was in Chattanooga County. James died June 24, 1863 in a hospital in Strawberry Plains, Tennessee. Surgeon Green reported that James died of chronic diarrhea with 62 dollars, a knife and a comb in his pockets. It is believed that he is buried at Strawberry Plains in an unmarked grave. Soldiers that died in hospitals were buried in the Strawberry Plains Cemetery and were later moved to the Confederate Cemetery in Knoxville.

John enlisted in Company K of the 21st Georgia Infantry in Summerville, Georgia in March of 1862.  John was furloughed home in the spring of 1863. Returning to Virginia he was admitted to a hospital at Camp Winder in Richmond in June of 1863.  He remained in the hospital until at least October. John died in Christian's Factory hospital in Lynchburg on March 20, 1864.  This was one 40 tobacco warehouses in this town that were converted to hospitals during the war.  Its is thought that John was buried near the hospital.

David Crockett Humphrey's was the first brother to enlist. He joined Company K of the 21st Georgia in June of 1861. The musters in the winter of 1861 found David sick at various places. In February of 1862 he was back home in Summerville on sick leave. He returned to Virginia only to contract phthisis pulmonalis (tuberculosis) and died in General Hospital #2 in Lynchburg, Virginia. He was buried in the Confederate Cemetery in town.  Later his body was sent home and buried at Alpine Church in Mentone. In 2015 his grave was marked with a metal funeral home marker. I did not find this marker in 2022.

Andrew Jackson Humphries joined his brothers in Company K of the 21st Georgia 1861. In July of 1863 on the retreat from Gettysburg he was captured in Williamsport, Virginia. On July 12 he arrived at Fort Delaware as prisoner of war.  On February 22, 1864 was released from prison and volunteered for service in the 1st Regiment of U.S. Volunteers.  This regiment was composed of Confederate prisoner This regiment was sent west to campaign against the Sioux on the Dakota Frontier. On a march in Kansas from Fort Leavenworth to  Fort Fletcher in November of 1865 Andrew deserted. There is no other record of him.  The cenotaph has a date of death as December 14, 1865. This date is the date of death for Andrew Jackson Humphrey buried in Grave #2490 in Section 5 of the Fort Smith Arkansas National Cemetery. This Andrew Jackson Humphrey was from Missouri. So, I do not know what happened to Andrew from Chattooga County.

The Garrison Brothers

Martin Garrison had five sons that died in the service of the Confederacy. William A. Garrison, Henry Fletcher Garrison and Christopher Martin Garrison were sons of Martin and Triphene Sheridan. Martin and Mary Elizabeth Bradley had two sons: Thomas Garrison and Clayton Garrison. 

Legend has it that when Martin learned of the death of a son he would take a wagon to get the dead son and bring he back to Banks County for burial at Mt. Pleasant. Christopher, Clayton, William, and Thomas were brought back and buried together within the confines of a rock enclosure in the cemetery. Incorporated into the walls of the enclosure were crudely carved markers for these four brothers. 

A fifth brother, Henry, died in Knoxville and is thought to be buried in a common grave at Bethel Cemetery in that town. 

In 2002 markers military markers were erected for all five brothers outside of the enclosure.

I found an uncited description of a hospital at the “…fairgrounds east of downtown in the Shieldstown community early in the war by CSA”.

It was said that Henry was interred in Knoxville at Bethel Cemetery. Burial records show a H.F. Garrison of Company H, 25th Georgia with November 13, 1862 date of death. The discrepancy could be attributed to a transcription error.
