This unusual marker, located* along the northeastern
margin of Rock Springs Road just a little
more than a mile from Georgia Highway
19 at Harden's Store, was placed by
William Sampson Asbury Bracewell, a Confederate
veteran of the 49th Ga. Infantry Regiment, in
tribute to the faithfulness of his slave Catty
and his wfe, who stayed with him after
receiving their freedom after the war.
A recent timber cut revealed this marker, dated 1880. Some loving
soul has planted purple petunias in memory
of these almost forgotten souls.
*Located on the northeastern margin of Rock Springs Road just beyond the last telephone pole south of the intersection of Rock Springs Road and Grey Wolf Trail in Rock Springs Estates.
