Notes from Ruth and Twila records states:
"Christopher "Lum" Burgess, at the age of about 18 received a spanking from his step-father, which induced him to join the army during the Civil War. The first half day he spent on New Creek hiding behind a stump. The loud noises from the cannons firghtened him. Mr Burgess was later wounded during battle. The government furnished the monument for his grave. "
They also state that the information was given by records in the court house and Mary Weimer who told of the story that her father, the late Charles E Smith made the coffins for the infants. He used silk material from dresses to line them and carefully carved designs on the finished coffins.
