I've been trying to track this guy down. He was a sign maker and painted battle honors on confederate regiment flags while serving in the confederate army from Arkansas. The last I can find him is in Memphis, Tenn in the 1870s running a shop there. Anyone live in Tennessee who can help find the death record or gravesite of this man?

Walter Colt, I ran a check at the National Archives and in old newspapers. The only thing I could find was his service record from the Mexican War and a clipping of someone by the last name in a Memphis, Tennessee newspaper killed by an Indian in Mississippi in 1872. I do not know if it was him or someone else by the same last name. He is an interesting individual but not much history on him.

I appreciate y'all looking for him. I have about 15 pages of names of KGC members from primary sources from the 1850s and 60s that I'm trying to find. I should just publish the list and get help.
