The brothers Blake had a sister, Celia Blake, who married Henry Howle of Benton/Calhoun/Cleburne County . Henry joined the 44th Ala 24 April 1862 at Arbacoochee. He "died at Camp near Ricmond,Virginia,5 July 1862,of disease". A letter which I viewed at ADAH in 1994 from his commanding officer to the widow described his grave as marked with a wooden marker-but did not say if in Oakwood,Hollywood or "other" cemetery. Celia married again after the war,died in Oxford on a visit and is reportedly buried in East Lake (Birmingham).

The story as told to me and reflected in your thread was that she lost 3 brothers and a husband to the war.
