NEWTON CEMETERY - For most of his life, Richard Garrett McFerrin
listened to family members talk about the tragic deaths of two
of his great-great-grandfathers.
Family members said the men had been killed at the same time
during the Civil War and were buried in the same grave, along
with three other soldiers.
McFerrin, who was born in Harrison but moved to Oklahoma at an
early age, said stories told by family members led him to
believe the gravesite was in Marion County. But as a cool breeze
blew across Rolling Prairie on Wednesday evening, McFerrin and
his wife, Marilyn, stood in front of his ancestors' grave in
Newton Cemetery in southeast Boone County, carefully reading the
narrative on the newest headstone in Newton Cemetery.
The headstone erected a few years ago by the Sons of Confederate
Veterans lists the five soldiers buried in the one grave: James
Angel, Temple Garrett, John W. Garrett, John Riggins and Lafe
Rice.
McFerrin said his great-great-grandfathers were James Angel and
Temple Garrett. He said his great-grandfather married Clementine
Garrett, who had been engaged to marry Lafe Rice, who had been
killed in the attack.
According to the narrative on the monument:
"The five men listed and a Mr. Price, age 65 or 70, all
Confederate soldiers, while returning to their company, stopped
to rest and water their horses at the mouth of Richland Creek in
Searcy County. Jayhawking Union soldiers ambushed them from the
bluff, shooting in the back six of the group of eight. Two sons
of James Angel escaped and brought word to the families.
Clementine, 19, fiancee of Lafe Rice, and Elizabeth, 20,
daughters of Temple Garrett, drove an ox team and wagon from
Rolling Prairie in Marion County to the Cash place in Richland
where Mrs. Cash and others had buried them with her help. The
five bodies were disinterred and the journey begun to take them
to Marion County. The stench of death prevented them going
further than this site, where the two girls dug a grave and
buried the five men."
After a moment of silence, the McFerrins picked their way
through the briars and brush to walk back to their car and
leave. The story was finished.
