Abstract:

A gravestone commemorating Aunt Abby House was erected deep in the woods of Franklin County where a crude wooden marker once stood. The inscription reads: “Aunt Abby House, Angel of Mercy to the Confederate Soldiers, Died April 30, 1881.” The stone was fashioned after those placed on Confederate soldiers' graves by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
