City May Move Historic Headstone to Protect It Bartow officials
concerned about encroaching tree. By SUZIE SCHOTTELKOTTE
The Ledger
BARTOW -- When members of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy were honoring Confederate Memorial Day in Bartow's
historic Oak Hill Cemetery last month, they noticed a crape
myrtle tree encroaching on the grave of Robert Latta Law, the
youngest son of Confederate Maj. Gen. E.M. Law.
"Our main concern was that the tree might break the tombstone,
and we wanted to preserve the tombstone," said Judi Moots,
president of the Bartow chapter. "It's a soft marble and subject
to erosion. Those Victorian tombstones have to be handled with
care."
The group asked the city, which owns the cemetery, if the tree
or a portion of it could be taken down, but city officials think
they've found a better solution.
"We can move the monument over about a foot, and leave the tree
there," Cemetery Superintendent Mike Prince told the city's
cemetery committee this week. "That crape myrtle is probably
historic itself, and I'd hate to cut it down."
The crape myrtle may be as old as the grave, he said. Law's
20year-old son died Aug. 18, 1898.
Prince said the headstone and coping, which is the concrete
border outlining the grave site, could be nudged about a foot
and still be on the burial site.
"They made grave sites about 12 feet by 5 feet back then, so
it'll still be on his grave," he said. "And I can tell you that
crape myrtle roots go deep, and if we start pulling on that
crape myrtle, we are going to be pulling on the grave itself."
Moots said she'd go along with the committee's resolution.
"We're primarily interested in preserving the headstone, and
this will accomplish that goal," she said. The committee, led by
Mayor Pat Huff, agreed with the plan as well, but was reluctant
to proceed without contacting someone from the Law family.
"I think the last burial in that plot was in 1941," Huff said.
"It might be hard finding a descendant, but I think we need to
try."
That 1941 burial appears to be the grave of Law's grandson, E.
McIvor Law III, who was born in 1897. A simple, ground-level
stone marks his grave.
Despite the passage of time, the general's descendants haven't
abandoned the grave site. Last month, J. Cecil Ramsey of
Jacksonville traveled to Bartow to visit the burial site. His
great-grandmother, Charity Matilda Law Ramsey, was the general's
first cousin, he said.
"I thought he was buried in Alabama and had gone there looking
for his grave site," said Ramsey, 77. "Then I was talking to a
cousin recently who said he was buried in Bartow."
The two men traveled to Bartow last month and found Law's grave.
"It was very exciting to be there and find his grave," said
Ramsey, a retired captain from the Duval County Sheriff's
Office. "He was at almost all the major engagements during the
Civil War, and I'm proud to be a descendant of his, even if it
is a little distant."
Law, a South Carolina native and an 1856 graduate of the South
Carolina Military Academy, now the Citadel, led troops into
battle in several major Civil War campaigns, including
Gettysburg, Ramsey said. When Gen. John Bell Hood was wounded,
Law commanded Confederate troops at Little Round Top on the
second day of the Gettysburg battle.
Law, a former teacher who was wounded several times during the
Civil War, came to Polk County in 1895 to start the South
Florida Military Institute, according to Polk County historian
Lloyd Harris. South Carolina friends who had moved here
encouraged him to come to Bartow. The school he founded
eventually was consolidated with other colleges to become the
University of Florida. He died in 1920.
Ramsey said the Law family holds an annual reunion in Georgia
each July, and he's not aware of any direct descendants of the
general.
"They've all passed on," he said. "I've been doing the family
genealogy for years, and I don't know of any direct
descendants."
Ramsey said he wouldn't object to moving the son's headstone a
little to the north to preserve the crape myrtle.
