Wearing of the Gray anecdote of a defiant old man
In 1863 near Madison Court House a Union captor forced an old countryman to take an oath or be buried alive. He refused, the grave was dug, and when asked again to swear, the prisoner calmly replied You had better. I won't. If you don't take the oath you will be buried alive in the grave within the next five minutes. Well, go on with your funeral.
