Pension? No, J. H. (James Henry) McAninch, 12th Tennessee Cavalry CSA, did not receive


a Confederate Pension in Arkansas. [20]



1911

On Sunday, 6 August 1911, J. H. McAninch died after a work-related injury -


(obituary) "J. H. McAninch, one of the county's oldest and most dependable citizens, died


last Sunday morning, the result of blood poisoning. Mr. McAninch injured his arm while


employed at the Miller Lumber Company mill last week, and from the injury the blood


poison developed. The internment took place Sunday afternoon. To the sorrowing relatives


the Courier extends sympathy." published in the Lee County Courier newspaper         [24]



1911

J. H. was buried that same day, Sunday afternoon, 6 August 1911, Cedar Heights Cemetery


(Section A, Block 97), Marianna, Independence Township, Lee County, Arkansas.     [25]


J. H. McAninch’s grave may have been unmarked for over 20 years, since the current


‘C.S.A.’ marker did not arrive until the 1930s (see the 1931 and 1932? sections below).



1911+

After his death, no Will, Administration, Executor, nor Probate records for J. H. McAninch


have been found in Lee County.       [26]



1931

(twenty years later) A cemetery marker was requested - (Application for Headstone)


(for) "McAninch J. H." / CSA / (Company) H / 12 Tenn. Cav. / (died) Aug. 6, 1911,


(Cemetery) Cedar Heights, Marianna, Arkansas . . (to be shipped to) . . . McClint~(sp?),


Marianna, Lee County, Arkansas . . . for the unmarked grave of a Confederate Soldier . . .


(by) Mrs. R. E. Wild, Applicant . . . Dec. 12, 1931                                                 [27]



1932?

The cemetery marker was probably received and installed in 1932, with the inscription


"J. H. McAninch" / "Co H." / "12 Tenn Cav" / "C.S.A.", and a color photograph of this


cemetery stone marker can be viewed today online at findagrave.com.                     [28]
