NOTICE: THE NATIONAL CEMETERY ADMINISTRATION, WOODLAWN NATIONAL CEMETERY, ELMIRA, NEW YORK PLACED THE CORRECT HEADSTONE AT THE GRAVE OF PVT. FRANKLIN CAUBLE ON 30 OCT 2014, THIS WAS 150 YEARS AND 2 DAYS AFTER PVT. CAUBLE DIED ON 28 OCT 1864. MANY THANKS GO TO RAY FINGER OF THE STAR - GAZETTE NEWSPAPER IN ELMIRA, NY FOR RUNNING A SERIES OF ARTICLES TELLING THE STORY OF PVT. FRANKLIN CAUBLE BEING BURIED UNDER THE INCORRECT NAME OF FRANKLIN COOPER. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE SUPPORT AND NEWS ARTICLES BY RAY FINGER, THIS MISTAKE WOULD HAVE PROBABLY NEVER BEEN CORRECTED BY THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION. RAY FINGER'S NEW ARTICLES WENT VIRAL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THERE WAS AN OUTCRY AGAINST THE VA FOR NOT MAKING THIS CORRECTION. AFTER 150 YEARS, PVT. FRANKLIN CAUBLE, CO C, 42nd NC, AND MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER IS FINALLY PROPERLY IDENTIFIED. MANY THANKS ALSO GO TO MARTY CHALK, PRESIDENT OF FRIENDS OF THE ELMIRA CIVIL WAR PRISON CAMP ASSOCIATION IN ELMIRA, NEW YORK FOR HIS SUPPORT IN HELPING TO GET PVT. FRANKLIN CAUBLE'S NEW HEADSTONE INSTALLED BY THE NATIONAL CEMETERY ADMINISTRATION. Son of Joseph Cauble and Nancy Hudson. Born abt. 1825 in Rowan County, NC. Franklin was living in Albemarle, Stanly County, NC with his mother and siblings when he enlisted in Co C in Albemarle, NC on 28 Feb. 1863. Company C was mustered in at Salisbury, NC. Prior to enlisting, Franklin earned his living as a stage coach driver. After military training in Salisbury, NC, Co C served for a period of time as guards at the prison for Union soldiers in Salisbury, Rowan County, NC. Franklin was captured 3 Jun. 1864 at Cold Harbor, he was sent to Point Lookout, Md. and then transferred to Elmira, NY. The prisoner transfer from Point Lookout to Elmira consisted of 833 men. They left Point Lookout on 12 July by the steam ship 'Crescent', went to Jersey City, NJ arriving 15 July at 4 AM. There they boarded a train for Elmira, NY. At 3 PM near Shohola, Pa., the prison train crashed head on with a coal train in a sharp blind curve. There was a heavy loss of prisoners and Union guards. This train wreck is known as 'The Great Shohola Train Wreck'. The remaining prisoners arrived Elmira, NY around 9:30 PM on Saturday evening 16 July 1864. Official Union records recorded and documented the men into the Elmira Prison on Sunday 17 July 1864. He died in Elmira Prison 28 Oct. 1864. Franklin is buried in Woodlawn National Cemetery, Confederate section in grave #718. Franklin was mistakenly buried under the name of Franklin Cooper who was also in Co C, 42nd NC, and also from Albemarle, Stanly County, NC. Both Franklin Cauble and Franklin Cooper enlisted in Co C at the same time and both were captured at Cold Harbor at the same time. Franklin Cooper did not die in the Elmira Prison but was paroled and returned to Stanly County NC. Franklin Cooper died 2, Oct. 1924, and is buried at Silver Springs Baptist Church Cemetery, Aquadale, Stanly County, North Carolina.
