Our GreatGreatGrandfather, Lt. John L. Heaton, was killed in action on November 29, 1863, during the battle of Fort Sanders, Knoxsville, TN.

No higher Eulogy need be pronounced on this Noble Christian Patriot than to say he enlisted under the Banner of his native State, and fell a Martyr to the cause of Southern Independence in defense of Religious and Political Liberty and all the Rights and Privileges which Patriotic Freemen hold sacred.

Lest we forget!
