BURIAL: MacGavock Cemetery grave2 section 68. Near Franklin Tenn DEATH: Taken from the Wartime Journal of Capt. WW McMillan. Ben's Brother. This is only an excerpt. Refer to notes under WW McM for full text : ...............we lost a battle-an Army-perhaps a nation! Nothing was left for Hood to do on the next morning but follow up on the flying Federals. We came up to them at about 12 o'clock at Franklin, where they had strongly entrenched. Lee's Corps had been left at Columbia, but Hood began immediately to make dispositions for an attack. This was to be my last battle in the mighty war which we were engaged an I approach a description of it with a heavy heart, as the recollection of it will ever call up sad feelings to my mind, as it was also the last battle of one whom I loved more than all else in the world, my dear brother Ben- He was instantly killed, or I suppose so, as he was struck with several balls, one passing through his head. No nobler spirit, no truer man offered his life as a sacrifice on his country's alter than Ben McMillan. There were few braver-None better. It was about 4 o'clock I suppose before the troops were in position, and ordered to charge. Never did men fight better- united they seemed to be desperately and ____? brave. They rushed upon the first line and swept the enemy before them and with ___? approached the stronger and inner works. They were met by a murderous fire of shell grape and musketry but still they went on. Hundreds going down before the tremendous hailstorm of lead and soon the works were reached and captured in some places, but the Southern troops were finally repulsed. Military: From the Monroe Journal Centennial page 34F Heck Rumbley Recalls Civil War Stories (partial excerpt) In 1893, my father wrote for the Claiborne Southerner an account of an incident at New Hope Church, when five rebels captured fourteen yankees. The following story was written in the hopes of finding the sword taken from the Yankee Lt., or some relatives which might wish to preserve it as a Civil War Relic.In the spring of 1864, there was a detail of men in each company from our Brigade sent to charge a picket line of the federals at the foot of Lone Mountain at night. Our orders were to roll at least one large rock ahead. We formed a line at the top of the mountain. Lt Col Morris of the 26 Ala Regt was our commander and Col VS Murphy of the 17th Alabama acted as General. The command was given, the rocks rolled, and we followed. The yankees poured a heavy fire into us and every one of our men were killed except five: LT William Jesse Robinson, Ben Franklin McMillan, a preacher named Belcher, myself and one other..........Belcher grabbed one of the yankees, his gun fired and the yankee fell. I ordered him to give up his arms; and he handed me his sword and Navy Six Shooter and said 'come on boys let's surrender'"Thirteen men came from behind large rocks and surrendered. One of the officers said his name was Arbor and from the 154th Illinios Regt.Lt Robinson ordered McMillan and me to escort the prisoners to camp, and as we went up the mountain one of them said 'I had no idea I could ever be scared as badly as I was tonite, there were only five of you and I could have killed you all!"
