South Western Baptist Marion County AL
Died of bilious fever at Chattanooga Hospital December 27, 1862. He was born 
January 12, 1844, in Macon County Ala. He professed his faith in Christ in his 
18th year and was baptized into the fellowship of Bethel Baptist Church of 
Randolph County, Ala., by his father, Rev. J. C. Beverly, His-walk was orderly, 
his conversation chaste cairn, serious and dignified to his deportment though 
young he was an example of piety to all. He was a member of Captain T. Wood's 
Company, 30th Regiment Alabama Volunteers. A friend wrote to his parents, 
"Champion is no more, he is no doubt in heaven, around the Mediatorial throne, 
singing praises to the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world." The 
sunny South has lost another brave soldier his merry tones will no more salute 
the ears of his messmates, and his brother who now sits alone by the campfire at 
the midnight hour. Well do we remember when he bade Aian to father, mother, 
brothers and sisters, turning slowly away without a tear upon his manly, rosy 
cheeks, to make a sacrifice of his precious life for his home, and for his 
beloved country. Far away from home he died, with no father to hear his dying 
words, no mother to administer to his wants, no sister to impress a farewell 
kiss upon that fair and youthful brow. He was buried by strangers. The war may 
go on frightening scenes may appear he heeds it not in the cold grave there is 
no disturbance.
