Source: Confederate Veteran, Vol XVI, Feb 1908, No.2, page 82 Peyton W. Jones Camp Macon, U.C.V., No. 1477 buried Peyton W. Jones, one of its charter members, on October 5. The Confederate flag of the Camp was placed on the casket. Every one in Macon knew his record as a public-spirited citizen. His war record, on file in the Camp records, reads: "Enlisted at Eufaula, Ala. Jan. 17, 1861, age 231 years. Served the entire war in Army of Tennessee. Was engaged in thirteen battles and was paroled May 15, 1865." He served his country well in that grand army of heroes whose fame will grow brighter and brighter as their valor on the battlefield and their splendid fortitude amid the suffering endured in camp became better known. This man was one of them - not a general, but one who as a private in the ranks of the great army of the Confederacy made it possible for the generals with comparatively few of them to hurl back in defeat an army several times their number.
