The records of St. John's Episcopal Church, Richmond, indicate that officials of the church presided at two funerals in 1861 involving South Carolina soldiers. The information is found on p. 358 in J. Staunton Moore, ed., The Annals and History of Henrico Parish, Diocese of Virginia, and St. John's P. E. Church. Rev. Ed, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1979, originally published 1904.

The entries are:
"May 25 -- Eli Bass, of the 1st Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, Co. N, from Camden, Kershaw district, South Carolina, aged 18 years; [buried] Hollywood Cemetery." This unit would almost certainly be Maxey Gregg's 1st S. C. Volunteers.

"July 26 -- Richard H. Summers, of the 'Washington Light Infantry,' Hampton Legion [Infantry BN], S. C., died of pneumonia at Mrs. Susan G. Carrington's, age 32 years; [buried] Hollywood Cemetery." This man's name is spelled "Somers" on the rolls of his company; he was discharged for consumption on July 16, and a notice in the Charleston Mercury indicates he died of consumption, but it is entirely possible that pneumonia had developed from his tubercular condition.
