Comrade Bailey’s Prayer Tale From Civil War Reunion
Mr S W Bailey returned from Macon with two comrades Frank Howard of Oglethorpe and W C Howard of Atlanta. The trio marched and bunked together through the four years of war and Bailey, taught by his mother, always prayed by his bunk each night. One march night he slept while kneeling in prayer, nearly spending the night in that posture.
