The Solid South
  In the Methodist cemetery at Morgan, the county site of Calhoun county, are
six graves, all side by side. They are all of the same length, and show that 
they are the graves of grown persons. We have the statement of one of the 
oldest citizens of the county, that these graves were made when General JACKSON
marched through that section in '36 on his way to fight the indians. The story
is that Old Hickory's army camped for some time at this place, dug the well that
is being used at present by the BOZEMAN family, who occupy the place near the 
cemetery. While the army was encamped here these six men were ordered shot by
General JACKSON, probably for desertion, and after being executed were buried
in the grave above described, forming a nucleus for the present Methodist 
cemetery.
