Miscellaneous in the Confederate Veteran:

Vol. I, p. 121:

BUILD THE DAVIS MONUMENT (Richmond, VA). J. H. Standifer from Gadsen, AL was listed as a contributor to the building fund.

Vol. VII, 1899, p. 106:

CONFEDERATE DEAD AT HOPKINSVILLE, KY: A singular incident occurring recently in Hopkinsville, Ky., has brought to light the names of many hitherto "unknown Confederate dead," above the dust of whom a marble shaft was reared some eleven years ago. A little memorandum book which has lain for many years in an old desk in the Bank of Hopkinsville was accidentally discovered, and its pages contain a clear record of the names of the Confederate soldiers who died there in 1861 and 1862, "chiefly from the epidemic of black measles." The little book appears to have been the property of "George K. Anderson, Cotton Gin Post Office, Texas." It contains only a record of Confederate soldiers belonging to First and Third Mississippi, Seventh Texas, Eighth Kentucky, and Forrest's Cavalry, who died and were buried in the cemetery at Hopkinsville, Ky., in the fall and winter of 1861-1862. They were buried in rows in the northeast corner of the cemetery, the list begins in the row next to the east fence, and goes by rows westward. The numbering beings at the south end of the rows and goes northward to the end of the rows. The names and rank of the dead are taken from the penciled inscriptions at the heads of the graves. With this concise explanation and the clearly written lists, identification would have been easy. In 1888 the remains of the soldiers were disinterred and placed together in a beautiful spot which was marked by a handsome monument. The list is hereto appended, and may reveal to some mothers, sisters, and sweethearts the resting places of their long-lost loved ones. Among those listed is: Claiborne Sandafur, November 5.

Vol. X, p. 113:

MONUMENT AT SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.VA. The Southern Soldiers' Memorial Association, of Shepherdstown, W. Va., was organized in 1867; its cemetery lot was formally purchased in 1868, and dedicated on Memorial Day following, June 5, 1869. On the following Memorial Day, June 6, 1870, they dedicated their monument to their dead. The inscriptions are: East face, "Erected to the memory of our Confederate dead by the Southern Soldiers' Memorial Association, of Shepherdstown, W. Va., June 6, 1870." North face, "True patriots, a nation's tears embalm their memory." West face, "To the unknown dead; though nameless, their deeds are not forgotten." South face, "We lie here in obedience to the command of our sovereign States." The dead are given as one hundred and six.
One gravesite is for "W. E. Standifer, Willsboro, GA."

Vol. XVII, 1909, p. 190:
I. S. Standefer, of Roscoe, Tex., seeks information of his brother, Abram P. Standefer, who joined Capt. Adam Johnson's company, which went from Burnett, Tex., and was attached to Gen. John Morgan's command. This brother was with Morgan on his raid into Indiana, but escaped, and was afterwards lost in battle. A man of the same name was a prisoner at Rock Island. Any information of him from surviving comrades will be appreciated.

Vol. XIII, 1910, p. 275:
William Standifer, of Mississippi, at the age of threescore and ten years, four of which were occupied by his service in the Confederate army, made application sometime back to the Agricultural and Mechanical College for position as a student, and he was regularly enrolled, there being no age limit to disqualify him.

Vol. XIX, 1911, p. 397:
Guy Sandefur, of Carrollton, Ky., wishes to get into communication with some comrades of his father, John Tandy Sandefur, who was a member of Grave's Battery of the Orphan Brigade. He enlisted at Bowling Green, Ky., was taken prisoner at Fort Donelson, and sent to prison at Indianapolis. He was exchanged, again went South, and was in the battles of Chickamauga, Atlanta, and other engagements.

Vol. XXXII, 1924, p. 367:
Mrs. A. D. Sandefur, of Tidewater, Fla., wants to correspond with anyone who knew her late husband, Archibald Dixon Sandefur, who joined the Confederate army at Henderson, Ky., in 1862, under Capt. Nat Taylor and Col. Adam Johnson, as well as she remembers. She also wants to locate William M. Locke, of the same company, who was near St. Petersburg, Fla., when last heard of.

Confederate Only A Soldier's Grave by S. A. Jones

Only a soldier's grave! Pass by, For soldiers, like other mortals, die. Parents had he -- they are far away;
No sister weeps o'er the soldier's clay;
No brother comes, with tearful eye;

It's only a soldier's grave -- pass by.

True, he was loving, and young and brave,
Though no glowing epitaph honors his grave;
No proud recital of virtues known, Of griefs endured, or triumphs won; No tablet of marble, or obelisk high;

Only a soldier's grave -- pass by.

Yet bravely he wielded his sword in fight,
And he gave his life in the cause of right!
When his hope was high, and his youthful dream As warm as the sunlight on yonder stream;
His heart unvexed by sorrow or sigh;

Yet, 'tis only a soldier's grave: pass by.

Yet, we should mark it -- the soldier's grave, Some one may seek him in hope to save!
Some of the dear ones, far away, Would bear him home to his native clay:
T'were sad, indeed, should they wander nigh, Find not the hillock, and pass him by.
