The
remains of Capt. Ike Turner lay in state at the courthouse in
Livingston, Texas. He died in 1864, asking to be brought back to
Texas because his mother would worry so. He was buried
in a family plot in Georgia. Note the state flags of both Texas
and Georgia. Turner was given a true 1860's burial, with mule drawn
wagon. All were welcome to come.
