In Memory of Major John Pelham

Major John Pelham was born Sept. 7, 1838 in Calhoun Co. Ala. and was mortally wounded March 17, 1863 near Kelley’s Ford, Va. A base stone came from the Kelly’s Ford battlefield near the spot where he fell. He was praised, like Marshal Ney, as one of the bravest of the brave. Geo. E. Douglas and his wife Lenora J. Douglas erected this in 1926.
