Her father died in a coal mine collapse. She talks endlessly about Whipples. I would really like to find a vintage photo of Whipples framed for her 90th birthday. Do you know where I could purchase a copy of one? I love the one you have at the top of this site. Thanks for your help.

She was dubbed the Lady in Grey by a Columbus Journalist. She had no lost love at the Chase Cemetery unless you subscribe to the theory that a ten year little girl had a love affair prior to the war. 499 soldiers did die at Camp Chase but it was in February of 1865 and they died of various reasons. Only 372 are documented as dying of small-pox at Camp Chase. Louisiana did wear a veil but only to protect her husband's job as he was a Franklin County Commissioner. Louisiana died in the early 1950's and is buried at the Green Lawn Cemetery. You might find this interesting insofar of odd events. The last Confederate to die at Camp Chase was on August 17, 1865 at the Camp Chase Post Hospital. On that very same day a terrible earthquake occurred, of all places in New Madrid, Missouri. However Louisiana was living in Ohio at this time. She was married in 1868 to Joseph Briggs. Oddly Louisiana did dress as a ghost on Halloween in 1926 at her home to scare her grandson and his classmates at her home. And I agree with the other poster Private Benjamin Allen did enroll near Fort (Spelled as) Donelson, Tennessee located in Stewart County, Tennessee and was shot and taken prisoner during the Chattanooga Campaign in November of 1863. And lastly there were some Confederates disinterred from their graves on November 24, 1864. Dr. Flowers a Columbus doctor was arrested for the crime along with two others. Interestingly the land that Camp Chase occupied was rented by the United States government and there was not a Federal law against stealing bodies but there was an Ohio State law passed in 1841, and this loop hole may have led Dr. Flowers from being prosecuted. Salmon Portland Chase was born in New Hampshire and not Ohio although he did serve as the 23rd Governor of Ohio prior to the war and as a United States Senator from Ohio. He was the Secretary of Treasury under Lincoln and not the Secretary of State. And as you stated also served as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court after the death of Judge Taney in 1864. In my opinion Louisiana Ransburg Briggs was a great American and she did clean the Chase cemetery and place flowers over the various graves and today lays in peace at the Green Lawn Cemetery.

Tennessee. Such a sad story as these men according to the histrory had little or nothins and no pay. According to the records it looks as if her served under Colonial McGavock. When I hear a story like this one I have to do the math and see who he was and where he was from especially in my home state of Tennessee.

I stayed in one of the hotle in Summersville last Saturday and just few minutes after I went to bed, I saw lots of dark shades come toward my bed from the window.
