Buttram was a Lt. in the Confederate Army and was shot and died during the Croxton's Raid at the Battle of Munford, Alabama, Apr 23, 1865. It is believe that he was the last Confederate soldier killed in battle during the Civil War. He is buried where he fell, just where the Talladega road forks in the town of Munford. Citizens of the town buried him the following day. His grave is the only evidence remaining of the battle. There is a monument to the memory of A.J. Buttram, Confederate soldier, in the little town of Munford, Alabama. The inscription is: "In Memory or, Andrew Jackson Buttram a Confederate Soldier, Killed here April 23, 1865, During Croxton's Raid, Erected by Veterans, and their descendants". Andrew was assigned to Capt. B. C. Raney's Randolph County Reserve Company E, and Low’s Regiment, which was assigned to Benjamin Hill's Brigade at Blue Mountain. Capt. Raney's entire Company was captured at Munford except for Lt. Buttram who was killed. Those captured were held at Talladega, Alabama until May 30, 1865 when they were paroled.
