Stargel Memorial At Cane Creek Baptist Church

Dahlonega, Georgia October 27, 2001

Louise Fitzgerald a member of UDC led us in songs and did a haunting solo of an old Civil War Era song called LORENA. This is the tune you hear playing now.

A soldier <Frank Clark of the Sons Of Confederate Vets> waits outside the Cane Creek Church for the march up to the Cemetery, where he and others do a 21 gun salute .

I want to express my thanks to the UDC and SCV for a very moving and compeling service to my Ancestors

I also want to thank all of my relatives who took the time and trouble to come, I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.

I am sorry that some didn't make it.
