I don't have a Vet buried in Dent Co., but he is supposed to have served from there.  He removed to Indian territory now Stringtown, Okla circa 1894.  My grandmother used to have all his paperwork, but while moving from Benton, AR to Brewer, OK the MKT  - MTK Railroad lost her trunk with all her "precious memories" in it.   When he died, my Mother's cousin and her husband tried to get a Military headstone for him there in Stringtown, OK., but were told since they didn't have papers they couldn't receive one.  He is buried in the Stringtown, OK cemetery without a headstone. His name was George Franklin Stewart.  He was the son of Campbell Stewart and Winifred Brickey of Dent County.  He married Mary Harvey Priest of Crawford County.  Mary was the daughter of Peter Priest and Nancy Turnbough of Crawford County.   He is supposed to have gone to Medical School and later practiced medicine in OK also. My Great-Grandmother, Mary Priest Stewart told of babysitting her little sister one day while the parents went shopping.  While they were home alone, some Union Soldiers came to the house.  My Great-Grandmother Nancy Turnbough Priest had set bread dough out to rise while she was away.  The soldiers were SO00oo hungry that they ate the raw bread dough.  Even though the children were scared out of their wits, the soldiers never bothered them.  All they wanted was food, then they went on their way.

The Salem Monitor, May 9, 1912
   Memorial: Col. J. E. Organ, Editor, Monitor, Dear Sir and Friend: I am sending you this as a reminder of fifty years ago---"Lest we forget----Lest we forget." That isn't possible however, for those of us who went through these miserable prison experiences. Yourself and Miss Walker, (Aunt Melessa McCrea) were ther with my father, T. J. Higginbotham; when he died, and your father, Uncle Jamie Organ, came up with a patrolled prisoner from there, T. J. Rankin, by name (I have never seen him since) to tell us the misfortune that had befallen us.  I intended to come to Salem this anniversary and get Roxa McCrea to come over to your home and talk it all over---so many years I couldn't bear to speak of it, or our other bereavements connected with the war. I don't mean financial losses, I never lost a minute's sleep on that account---didn't start not in life calculating to have pockets in my shroud, but am greatly disappointed not getting to come and have that Confederate reunion--but am glad to feel improving, have had some lung and hear complication and then a siege of typhoid fever. With best wishes for yourself and family and all other connected with us in those never to be forgotten days. I remain sincerely your friend, Mary Higginbotham Johnson.    The above letter was written by Mrs. Johnson on the 50th anniversary of her father's death. He died in McDowell's college military prison in St. Louis, April 30, 1862. I was captured at West Plains, Mo., in March 1862 and was in McDowell's college prison at the time of Mr. Higginbotham's death. A few days before I was taken prisoner I was scouting in the vicinity of the old Higginbotham home, now owned and occupied by Mrs. Johnson, 8 miles west of Salem, only one man with me, and we watched from the timber west of the farm a company of Federal soldiers looting the Higginbotham
home. They took nearly all his personal property and took him a prisoner and sent him to St. Louis where he died. I regretted that I did not have my company of over 100 fighters with me when I saw those Yanks. What fun we could have had between the Higginbotham home and Salem. The above submitted by Kathy Welch Heidel, Melissa Walker McCrea was my Great Grandmother and a spy for the CSA, Roxa was her daughter.
