The Reverend Roy Healy died along this stretch of road east of Ward’s Butte in Shedd, formerly known as Plainview. Mark Ylen, Albany Democrat-Herald, 2014.

“The battle was over and the sun had gone down,” Kendall began, and he could feel those souls in the dark leaning closer. “The dense white smoke of the great cannons had been dispersed by the evening breeze that crept faint and sweet from the dark woods nearby, lifting with touch as light as a living hand’s the damp hair on icy foreheads, and fluttering in sad mockery the torn and bloody flag yet grasped by a hand forever still.”

He continued with this tale of two men confessing their fears of dying, of surrendering even the simplest of pleasures, of leaving everyone they loved. He stepped forward, hands clasped behind his back.

And so upon the golden stars the foemen gazed and talked of home in tender reminiscence till, as the stars faded before the moon, climbing higher and higher in the clear dome above them, there fell a silence that was the benediction of a pitying God upon his wandering wounded children.

And when the morning came, the busy surgeons and those who searched the field for missing friends came upon a strange, pathetic sight.

The two that lay beneath the green oak’s spreading boughs with death’s solemn seal on their quiet faces were clasping hands blue and gray forgotten in the old, old bond of common brotherhood.
