Notes |
- He was the next oldest half brother. He had a fair complexion, dark eyes black hair, well formed and like Oliver weighed about one hundred and eighty pounds. He was firm and unshaken in his purposes. He would meddle no one and would suffer no one to meddle with or impose on him. He and Oliver joined the C.S.A. in the fall of '61, I think. Calvin was killed in the battle of Chickamauga, was buried on the battle field in the same grave with twenty seven others of his comrades. A brave and noble boy. I loved him while he lived. I wept over him when he fell. I'll cherish his memory while I have breath. "Calvin rest, thy warfare's o're Sleep the sleep that knows no waking." The cause for which you died is lost but it was no fault of thine. Thou didst thy part well well. May angels guard my brave boy's grave.
[Note; Official Confederate Service Records show that Calvin Cellars Kirk was captured and held as a POW until released at Selma, June 1865.] [1]
