The Blount County News-Dispatch, 17 Feb 1898 Of Interest to Confederates. Governor Johnson is in receipt of a letter from an old federal soldier at East Beady, Pa., seeking to ascertain the names and whereabouts of the relatives of one J.D. Brown, a confederate soldier and member of Company K, Nineteenth regiment, Alabama volunteers, who fell a victim on the battlefield at Missionary Ridge. The writer states that he took from the breast of the dead soldier a Bible which he desires his friends or relatives to have. This inscription is noted on the fly leaf: "J.D. Brown, Co.
