For those that are perhaps seeing these transcriptions for the first time, the transcriptions may give on first glance, the appearance of a great many typos, so I feel obligated to explain that the abundance of y, m, and d represent abbreviations for year, month and day. Although you will find most engravers follow similar patterns, it seems there are several different abbreviations used to represent these three time terms including: y, yr, yrs, yr's & years; m. mo, mos, mo's, and months; d. da, das, da's, and days and on rare occasions, h, hr, hrs, hr's, and hours. I tend not to use commas except to separate surname from given name, given name from date, except where found on actual inscription, same goes for the [.] (period). When you see the symbol [_] (underscore), I use it to represent missing or unreadable letters, or if a lot of letters are unreadable I may express it by several periods, such as Jos...h . Sometimes you will find raised letters such as "c" in surnames such as in McClain, or if the engraver added smaller letters that were left out and added later, when I encounter them, tend to express them, when possible, as found on the stone. Sometimes engravers will use the term Æ or æ, this is just a term that generally replaces the word "aged". One last comment, all actual text found engraved, will come first in bold text. All comments, observations, personal knowledge remarks added by submitter, concerning an individual, but not inscribed on stone, will then proceed in regular text. ~R.M.Sizelove~

On 2nd of October 2004 the Thevenin families gathered at St. Nicholas Cemetery for the placing of two stones for Nicholas & John, both who died in the service of their country. Nicholas is buried in an unmarked grave at "Florence National Cemetery Trenches". He died a prisoner at Florence Stockade. John Thevenin's grave site has never been found, he died being transfered from prison. Florence national Cemetery Trenches. Burial place of the unknown soldier. many of the dead were marked unknown. What aa burdon of sorrows, disappointed hopes, and miseries were embodied in that word. Their names, their history all unknown, uncared-for, they died. Some mother, wife, father, or sister mourns them, or vainly waits for their coming. Each sound of footsteps at the door may cause their hearts to throb with expectancy; but no more in life shall they behold those faces which once gladdened the household. "Sick and in prison", they lingered and died unknown.-Sergeant Warren Lee Goss, 2nd MA Heavy Artillery, POW, Florence Stockade. |
