Geocache Game where Cousin John Sparks was Killed and his brother William escaped. Desecration or Tribute?

I take it as a Tribute.
William escaped from the burning house and hid in brush and though 6 feet tall was brought a woman's dress in which he slowly walked away. Cousin Preston Pruitt partially recovered from his wound. One of the 8 killed was Dr. Bell's brother James. A very cautious story is told by Cousin Fred Slimp in HISTORY OF THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT TENNESSEE VOLUNTEER CAVALRY U. S. A. --Fred thought the details were simply too gruesome to be recorded. Fred wrote a great deal of the HISTORY.

Geocache Description:


Here lies the Eight Civilians who were killed at the home of Dr David Bell in November, 1863. You are looking for a small camo covered pill bottle. Contains only log. BYOP


This is a sign only micro in a small container. BYOP! Be discreet.


Eight Civilians were killed at the home of Dr David Bell in November, 1863 Enroute to Kentucky to join the Federal forces, they were found by a detachment of Col. W.A. Witcher's confederate cavalry, while waiting for breakfast.
