We recently visited the gravesite you mentioned above for W. H. Quaintance, a "VA sharpshooter of Culpepper Court House" died August 28, 1863. The townspeople have been quite honorable in how they have cared for this tombstone of a Confederate Soldier so far from home. They have placed a Confederate and an American flag beside it. My question involves the published story about this man and his young widow. What do the initials "W" and "H" in W. H. Quaintance stand for and why are they different from the story? (Send me your email and I can send a picture - for some reason I can't do it here for everyone to see.)
