Subject: RE: BS: A song in this? - Confederate widow dies
An interesting story about a Confederate widow here. Mrs. Alberta Martin was well-known at Confederate gatherings in Alabama and elsewhere in the South. She was given an 1860s style funeral: Confederate funeral
A song was written in her honor by Ron Taylor, Sons of Confederate Veterans Southeast Brigade Commander.
Chorus: Go rest high on the mountain. Sis, your work on earth is done. Take your flag up to heaven, Wave to the Father and the Son.
