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?

Don't really have an answer for you but I am thankful for your Virtual Cemetery.
 

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.
 

The OLD LINE DEMOCRATE newspaper, Jan 5, 1860, Page 1, Col 2 has this notice:
Augustus Larrentree
Ornamental and Decorative Paper Hanger
Also, House and Steamboat Painter

CSA Capt Augustus Larrentree, CSA 3rd Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry, Co :C", "THE FORREST RANGERS"
Served under CSA Gen Nathan Bedford Forrest
 

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.
