Confederate Veteran mag., dated Nov., 1928, page 428. LEVI R. CASON April 19, 1839 - May 13, 1927 " Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace". These words on his tombstone tell the life story of one who wore the gray. LEVI R. CASON served with Company A, 28th Georgia Regiment, C.S.A., one of the first to volunteer and with 4 others of his company, the last to leave after Johnston surrendered in North Carolina. A friend to every man, he was loved by all. He was survived by his wife and six children, and 11 grandchildren. The Confederate flag draped on his casket was later presented to the Robert Toombs Chapter, U.D.C., of Toombboro, Ga., and has since been used on the caskets of more than a dozen Confederate veterans. ---- [ this is not my family ]
