Goldie Barwegen (gbarwegen [at] kiwi [dot] dep [dot] anl [dot] gov) submits this information and says, “I have searched for information about this McFerrin, Grandfather of my Mother, but have not been successful at finding anything. He gravestone says: Thos. McFerrin, Born Nov. 4, 1842, Died Mar. 17, 1925, A Conferate Soldier, Co. C. 41. Tenn. Regt. C.S.A. There were metal star grave markers at this cemetery for the Civil War Soldiers’ graves, but these are gone now, so those graves are harder to find. This is a well-kept, large, very old cemetery, which is still in use.”
