A descendant of Lt. William Walker Higgins, Larry Humphries of Columbia, SC, has submitted these images of his Great Grandfather. He states that he believes William Walker Higgins to be buried at Greenville Presbyterian Church,1 Cleveland St, Greenville, SC 29601

He also adds: Source: Greenville Presbyterian Church: The Story of a People, 1765-1973. Greenwood County, S.C.: Greenville Presbyterian Church, 1973. (Page 46-47.)

Mr. Leith's book includes a quote from a memorial written by friends of Mr. Higgins,Robert A Archer and James Cowan. (It was copied as originally written.)

The Church of Christ on earth has added another name to the already long list of marters to the cause of Southern Independence.  Lieut. W.W. Higgins the genuine patriot the devoted Christian has fallen on the furious and bloody battlefield of Fredericksburg on the 13th Decer. 1862.  He fell with his harness on at the post of duty gallantly defending his countrys honor.  He volinteered as a Soldier for the war in the summer of 1861 and was elected 1st Lieut. of Company F a component part of Orrs. 1st R. Regt. Leaving a beloved family an affectionate wife fond and tender children the endearments of a happy home.  He verry well knew the perils and privations of the Soldier borne the trials and labours of the Soldier through the Mexican Campaign and received a mead of praise from his honered commander as the true and faithful Soldier of his country and his countrys God.  He was a kind and generous officer receiving from the colonel commanding Hon J. Foster Marshall decd varioushonourable appointments.  The testimony of his comrades in arms was that he was as brave a man as ever lived.  But he has fallen, fallen amidst the booming of cannon the roar of musketry and the shouts of victory.  But may we not confidently hope that from the battlefield he has been translated to the Paradise of God.  He embraced religion in early life and his walk and conversation gave evidence of its Holy influence.  For more than seven years he was a ruling elder in this congregation and by counsel and example laboured to promote the cause of our Savior.  He loved the church of God and was a regular attendant on the ordinances of his house.  Be it therefore resolved: That while we bow in humble submission to the will of God who douth all things well yet we sorrow for the loss of his salutary influence as a member of church
session. Resolved:  That we give our willing testimony to his faithful Christian deportment as an officer of Christ’s church and as being kind and consistent in all the duties of life. Resolved:  That we tender to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in this irreparable loss and that a coppy of these procedings be transmitted to the widow and that they be recorded in the session book of this church.
