-------------------------------------You have seen the grand memorials
Erected with love and pride
To those who fought for a principle,
And for their convictions died.These monuments tell a wond'rous tale
Of the men of '61,
Who sallied forth to protect their States,
With their father's sword and gun.Thro' four long years they bravely fought,
And gallantly bore the brunt
Of bloddy battles 'neath shot and shell,
With an unwavering front.'Neath sweep of cannon, and bay'nets' charge,
Forced marches, and sad retreats,
'Neath the scorching sun, and wintry blast,
Half clad, and with bleeding feet,The men of the Southland faltered not,
Tho' outnumbered far were they,
But like Stonewall,.....in depleted ranks,...
Stood the "Boys who wore the Grey."Peace smiled,... and the Nation held it breath,
And mute were the War's alarms,
Then at Lee's command, the Boys in Gray
Silently laid down their arms;And with aching hearts, and tear-dimmed eyes,
Sadly furled the Stars and Bars,
That glorious flag which led them on
Thro' the four long years of war.True Patriots still, they hastened home,
And grasping Life's helm anew
Steered their Ships of State in harbor safe,
Under the "Red, White, and Blue."I also have document L-20-2, a poem titled:"A Memory of St. Joseph, Mo."
she was married to Mr Bourcier Feb 27 1882 by Rev Father J.G. Footte
I also have document L-32-1 a Waltz entitled "Carnival Chimes Waltz" written by
her.DAR number 155930 gives the genealogy of Emma back to William Broadus.
