There are two Memorial Pages for this man, although the dates don't exactly match up. The other one is at Find A Grave # 106741205. There is no tombstone for him in that cemetery. It may have been a cenotaph. I believe the one in the Hurt Cemetery is where he was actually buried, along with his wife.
Joel Buttram (not Butteram) was born in Morgan Co., Tennessee to Lucinda (McCoy) and Bailey Buttram. Joel married Arbanna Ellis, daughter of Jane and Edward Ellis, on December 27, 1866 in Scott Co., Tennessee, which was after the end of the Civil War. They became the parents of daughters Calanzy and Savannah and a son named Pharao/Pharo Buttram before Joel died in 1875 at age 36. His life was probably shortened considerably by his imprisonment during the war.
CIVIL WAR EXPERIENCE: On Jan. 27, 1862, age 24, he joined for duty and enrolled at Somerset, KY for 3 years service in Co. G., 2nd Tennessee Infantry - USA. Also his brother, Iredel, joined at the same time, along with a James BUTTRAM, who probably was their older cousin and son of William BUTRAM and Rachel REED. On a Muster-Out Roll dated Knoxville, Tennessee Oct. 2, 1864 there is a remark . . ."Was private from enlistment to June 1, 1863 - Then Corporal. Prisoner of War. Age 24". Memorandum from Prisoner of War Record #237 . . . "Captured at Rodgersville, Tenn Nov. 6, 1863, confined at Richmond VA Nov. 13, 1863. Sent to Americus or Andersonville GA Feb. 1864. Rolls show him mustered out Feb. 3, 1865. Age 27".
Buttram, Joel; Corporal; G; Scott Co Tennessee; 24; 27 Jan 1862 - 6 Nov 1863. Honorable discharge. Promoted about 1 Jun 1863 to Corporal. Captured at Rogersville. Confined at Richmond and sent to Andersonville 18 Feb 1864. Probably released or escaped and returned to regiment sometime between Mar and Jun 1864.
Linda Sexton Nusbaum, however, says "Records show that Joel was never imprisoned at Andersonville and most likely was paroled or escaped during transfer from Richmond."
