Their suggestion:
-------------------------
This record for John C. Flowers was added under the wrong cemetery. He is buried at Bethlehem Baptist Church aka Hilliard's Cross Roads Cemetery. There is a picture of the marker on find a grave under Bethlehem Cemetery as well as his wife's marker. If there is a discrepency as to his burial place, you may contact the genealogy section of the Troy Library for assistance as they have a listing of most of the confederate soldier's burial locations.
