Photos of graves of secession signers

Don't see anything here yet on this but there is a Dennis Todd of Cayce, S.C. doing a gathering of photos of the graves of all signers of the Articles of Secession. I was able to assist him this date with John Gotea Pressley and Anthony White Dozier. He also wants a E. Noble who died in San Francisco before the graves in that city were all moved 1900-1940 to cemeteries in the city of Colma, CA. Many of them were just put in a mass grave with a listing of what field in what cemetery. No markers for them for the most part has been my experience which was just a large and joint UDC/SCV/SUV event to honor two CSA Generals a few years ago..

AWD is in the cemetery at Rio Vista , CA and there was a large joint UDC/SCV dedication there for family members which I also participated in as Chaplain.

Sounds like a very interesting project that Dennis is doing.

Many of you are aware that JGP and his brother, James Fowler Pressley, were the commanding officers of the 25th and 10/19th S.C. respectively. JGP is in the cemetery where I am the Civil War specialist this past ten years and JFP is in a cemetery in Fairfield, CA. Both graves are properly marked with their service and were not about ten years ago.
