The current Mayor of Suffolk,
VA (Dana Dickens) apparently has many Confederate soldiers in his family
tree. William B. Dickens died at Elmira, NY federal prison in March
1865 from chronic diarrhea, and left a wife and three children. In spite
of this, the Mayor has twice refused to sign a Proclamation saying that
April is Confederate History and Heritage Month in Suffolk. Photos are courtesy of Jackie Dolby of Churchville, NY. The gentleman placing the dirt (from Halifax County, NC) and flag is Mark Dolby, Past Chaplain of the Buffalo Rangers Camp, SCV, Buffalo, NY. |
