Skunk River War memory stirs Iowa grave tale
Leo Stone finds a grave marker for Cypert Talley at Rock Creek Cemetery four miles west of Ollie Keokuk County Iowa. The 1863 martyr tale ties to the Skunk River War a Civil War era local conflict with Copperhead dissenters and armed clashes near South English Sigourney and Davenport. The 1880 county history notes Talley as a bright yet militant Baptist preacher and provides details of the fatal Aug 1 1863 meeting and ensuing violence.
