Caroline Billingsley is recorded as a resident of Douglas County, Missouri.
She was captured in that county on 12 Sep 1864 and sent to "G&M" Prison.
Date of death recorded as 19 Oct 1864 in the prison "hotel" registry. "G&M"
stand for Gratiot and Myrtle Street prisons. Actually these were separate
prisons within St. Louis. "G&M" was recorded since the ledgers for both
prisons were combined into one. So from this record it is uncertain which
prison she was at.

For all Caroline's suffering, the Federal government felt obliged to give
her burial in the Confederate section of Jefferson Barracks National
Cemetery in St. Louis. They even gave her a nice white Confederate stone,
which can be found at grave location:
8199 N. C. I wonder what ever became of her children that she gave up to be
raised by the Sisters of Charity ?

Gratiot Street prison is featured in the book, "Portals to Hell", by Lonnie
R. Speer (1997). Also see my webpage at:
