He was also listed on the USS Anson Jones, port of Arrival: New York Soldiers Grave Pearl Rivers Tread lightly, 'tis a soldiers grave, A lonely, mossy mound; And yet to hearts like mine and thine It should be holy ground. Speak softly, let no careless laugh, No idle, thoughtless jest, Escape your lips where sweetly sleeps The hero in his rest. For him no reveille will beat When morning beams shall come; For him, at night, no tattoo rolls Its thunders from the drum. Tread lightly! for a man bequeathed, Ere laid beneath this sod, His ashes to his native land, His gallant soul to God. Dad this is 1 of your Great Grandson, Rafe Adams he is now 4 yr. old. We were at the Smith cemetery homecoming in Sept. 2007. I took him to see your graves. Rafe is now 10 and growing up so nice. He is very smart and loving, Jan. 2013 ********** other Faulk kin; Mary Richard Lowell Lelia Frances James Augustus Bernard Levi Emily Faulk Eldridge Faulk Mary Faulk Timothy Faulk Mary Ella Faulk Davis Thomas Jefferson Nancy M.
