He has hunted the surrounding woods almost all of his life and has known of its location for many years. According to this person, the grave was excavated by a person\/persons probably looking for Civil War relics. The person\/persons digging in the earth, dug down about four or five feet deep. By most grave standards, the headstone is always placed to the west of the gravesite. It appears that they didn\u2019t know on which side of the headstone to dig. There has been no evidence or rumors of anything being found since it is believed they dug on the wrong side.<\/p>\n<p>The headstone was removed from the gravesite in the 1980\u2019s and was gone for about two years. Suddenly, it was returned and placed in the exact spot with the lettering to the west as originally placed. According to the inscription on the stone, Meadows was attached to Company \u201cG\u201d of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry. But he is listed in the Company \u201cD\u201d roster, of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry, also a Union Army unit. He enlisted at Savannah, Tennessee on January 15, 1864. He was mustered in February 1, 1864 at Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Union Soldier\u2019s Grave Lauderdale County, Alabama Lat: 34\u00b0 59\u00a2 57\u00b2 N Lon: 87\u00b0 45\u00a2 51\u00b2 W Contributed by David Leon Montgomery on 16 December 2006. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; An individual who lives in the immediate area of this grave informed me about this Union soldier\u2019s final resting-place.
