"When the guerillas returned to Centralia from the pursuit, it was quite dark. A messenger had been sent from the battle-field for Dr. Sneed to attend Anderson's wounded. Dr. Sneed was forced to mount behind the messenger, his horse having been taken in the morn- ing, but soon a guerilla came back leading a very good horse that had been captured, and this animal the doctor rode to camp. He lost his instrument case on the way, and extracted one ball with a thumb- lance. Three of Anderson's men only were found to be severely wounded ; others only slightly. Three were killed outright and one mortally wounded. Those killed were: Frank F. Shepherd, Henry Williams (called " Hank" Williams), and a young man named Peyton. Frank Shepherd was nearly seven feet high ; Williams had, a short time before, deserted the Federals. Peyton was from Howard County. The mortally wounded man was Richard Kinney. All of those who were killed outright were shot in the face. Mr. Thomas T. Jennings, now a carpenter in Centralia, made coffins, by order of Anderson, for them, and they were buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery, where they still repose."
