Richard Alxander Sneed BORN August 25, 1845 He was a private in the civil
war. There are many stories that he was a general - not true, later moved
to OK to become secretary of state, and was Commander and chief of the
"Confederate Veterans of America". I have no knowledge of him being buried
in this cemetery, I am sure there are many others buried in this Cemetery.
