August 8, 2021 - Kirksville Memorial The William T. Anderson Camp #1743 Missouri Division conducted a Memorial Service 8 August at the Forest-Llewellyn Cemetery in Kirksville, MO.
The service was to remember the battle that took place in Kirksville 6 August 1862 where 1,000 well equipped Union troops made up of Infantry, Calvary, and a Battery of Artillery attached 2,500 CSA troops consisting of 500 well armed troops, 500 recruits that were armed with weapons thy had brought from home and the rest were recently gathered unarmed, untrained recruits. The memorial service consisted of the remembrance to the 26 Confederate solders burred in the mass grave in the Forest-Llewellyn Cemetery that were killed the day of the battle and the 17 Confederate POWs that were court-martialed and executed on the 9 of August for violation of there parole and loyalty oath. The final part of the memorial service was dedicated to CSA Lt. Col. Frisby McCullough who was tried and sentenced to death as a bushwhacker, even though he was captured wearing a regular Confederate uniform and carrying letters authorizing him to recruit troops. He was granted permission to give the order to fire, and his final words were, "May God forgive you for this cold-blooded murder. Aim at the heart. Fire!" A second volley was necessary. Several of the Senior Officers of the Missouri Division, members of the Parsons, Utz, and Cravens camps were in attendance to support the Anderson Camp.
