Pamela Coffin with William C. Carter's grave marker


A soldier who served the Confederacy during the Civil War was remembered by his family and others during a ceremony held May 3 at Baker’s Creek Church Cemetery near Greenback.

Sgt. William C. Carter’s final resting place, an unmarked grave, was located after diligent research and a monument placed in the cemetery near the marked grave of his brother, Frank Carter, by members of the Captain W.Y.C. Chapter 1881, United Daughters of the Confederacy.

  1. Confederate history is an honorable history to be shared by all Southerners. Not all Southerners who shed blood in defence of home & family were white. Honorable Southerners, as the song says, "Old times there are not forgotten"...should be remembered. While many Yankees who profess "enlightenment" just can'r understand our shared suffering, maybe if they "practiced what they preached" they might.
    Very nice memorial for this Southern Patriot. Spread the story far & wide.
