I need help finding an obituary, if one exists. William Hunter Meriwether was a wealthy man who lived in Memphis at the time of his death sometime between May 15 and June 5. 1861. I believe that he died in Memphis but is buried in Lynchburg, Virginia. The obit may have been in the paper in Memphis, TN, New Branfels, TX, Lynchburg, VA or Charlottesville, VA. I have a copy of the will of William Hunter Meriwether of Memphis. It was written in May 15, 1861 and proven in court at the June term, June 5, 1861. His wife Catherine Whiting Meriwether signed a $50,000 bond to be the administrator on July 2, 1861. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tmsirecords/willofwmhuntermeriwether1861.html The website for the Presbyterian Cemetery in Lynchburg, Virginia has a grave that is probably his. http://files.usgwarchives.org/va/lynchburg/cemeteries/presby03.txt Presbyterian Cemetery, Lynchburg, Virginia Marble shaft about 10 feet high, mounted on 3 ½ feet base, with an carn deaped top, is this inscription on the bas: To my husband William Hunter Meriwether Thou are gone, but not forgotten At Rest To the left and right, respectively, are two small stones about 1 ½ ft. and these have a dove with a leaf in its beak and underneath "N.D. Meriwether, Died May 31, 1861, Age 16 Months". The other has this: "J.M. Meriweather". This little stone has a rosebud on it. Does anyone live in Lynchburg who could take a picture of these gravestones? Many thanks, Sharon Sharon@MeriwetherSociety.org
