Cleburne's final resting place
Patrick Cleburne was initially buried at St. John's Episcopal Church near Mount Pleasant, Tennessee. He has commented on the beauty of the place just days before his death at Franklin. After 6 years though it was decided that he should be moved to his adopted hometown of Helena, Arkansas.

Pat is my favorite general and I look forward to visiting his grave soon. He was exactly right about St. John's Church, the place is almost worth dying to be buried there.
