Dr. Marcus A. Butler
Robinson's Greenwood Club Cavalry
| This toppled headstone in the old Baptist Cemetery in
Greenwood, Florida, marks the resting place of Dr. M.A. Butler. A medical doctor, Butler was at home in Greenwood when he heard the alarm being spread that the nearby city of Marianna was facing attack from an approaching force of Union cavalry. Greenwood was the home of an academy and its male students had been organized into a corps of cadets. These boys, many of whom were only 14 or 15 years old, drilling regularly in cavalry tactics and dubbed themselves the "Greenwood Club Cavalry." When the alarm reached Greenwood that Marianna was in danger, the unit's commander and teacher, Captain Henry J. Robinson, formed his boys and prepared to ride out to join the fight. Unwilling to watch the children of their community go off to fight alone, a number of the older men of the community mounted their horses and rode along with them. Dr. Butler was one of these individuals. The Greenwood boys and their watchful escorts fought at the Battle of Marianna on September 27, 1864, and two of the men who rode along with the cadets were killed in the fighting. One of these was Dr. M.A. Butler. Only 23 years old at the time of his death, he fell among a group of Confederates who were trying to make a stand in the yard surrounding St. Luke's Episcopal Church. His body was brought back to Greenwood and buried here in the Baptist Cemetery. By Dale Cox |
