Post War re-internment

I thought this was interesting and may be of help to someone.

Excerpt from the
PINE BLUFF WEEKLY PRESS
Volume 1, No. 3
Thursday, February 4, 1869

J. T. Stone, of an Arkansas Regiment, who was killed in the New Hope battle, near Dallas in Paulding County, Georgia, was buried in the battleground. The grave is much exposed, and as there are some marks on it which indicate that Mr. Stone was a mason, the brethren of Dallas Lodge, in Dallas, will at their own expense have the remains removed to the Masonic cemetery in the
neighborhood and buried with the appropriate ceremonies, free, upon advise from any of his friends or relatives that he was a mason.

Any such will correspond with F. M. Smith, Joseph Pichalt, and W. C. Abrey, Dallas, Georgia, Committee Dallas Lodge.

Is this possibly Corporal J.T. Stone of Company "C" 1st Arkansas Mounted Rifles?
