Richard Alxander Sneed BORN August 25, 1845 He was a private in the civil war. There are many stories that he was a general - not true, later moved to OK to become secretary of state, and was Commander and chief of the "Confederate Veterans of America". I have no knowledge of him being buried in this cemetery, I am sure there are many others buried in this Cemetery. ***************************************************************************
