William Lowndes DANIEL's burial ceremony, please let me know. William's brother, James Madison (1836-1863) was also a Lt., C.S.A. They were sons of Major William Furman DANIEL and Winifred Vardel Simkins MOBLEY of Edgefield County, South Carolina. Confederate soldier's tooth found, will get belated memorial rite 3/4/2007, 3:41 p.m. ET The Associated Press GETTYSBURG, Pa. (AP) - The discovery of a tooth from a Confederate soldier killed at Gettysburg will lead to a proper memorial service for the soldier 144 years after he fell on the field of battle. Karin Bohleke of the Adams County Historical Society said she was going through boxes donated by a local family a few months ago when she found a punched-paper watch pocket, a small pouch with red embroidery hand-stitched on the front. "I thought maybe there'd be a pretty piece of jewelry," she said. "Instead ... I found a tooth." Accompanying the upper right lateral incisor was a note on yellowing paper. "This tooth was taken out of a head lying in Roses Woods (Gettysburg battlefield) one year after the battle, at the head of a grave marked Lt. W.L. Daniel, Co. I, 2nd S.C.V.," read the note, signed by 1st Lt. W.T. King, Company G, 209th Pennsylvania. "Poor fellow, though a rebel, he has only sympathy from the union soldier who picked up and keeps his tooth," King wrote. Wayne Motts, the society's executive director, began a search that led to plans to give the soldier the kind of proper memorial service he never had. Motts' research led him to William L. Daniel, born Jan. 30, 1833, in the Edgefield district of South Carolina. Daniel got a medical degree from South Carolina College, now the University of South Carolina and enlisted in 1861 as an infantry officer with Company I of the South Carolina Volunteer Infantry. One of his brothers, James Daniel, also served with the Confederate forces. Both men fought and died at Gettysburg in 1863, falling within about 100 yards of one another, Motts said. James Daniel was buried in an unmarked grave in Richmond, Va., but William Daniel's body was not recovered. Motts said the body was likely lying in a temporary shallow grave when King, a Gettysburg tailor and soldier, took the tooth from his skull. "They were buried where they fell," he said. The bodies of Confederate dead were not taken for proper burial until 1872, and Daniel's grave was only marked because he was an officer, Motts said. Any additional information would be very much appreciated. Bob Daniell
