27. Kate M. Riely Small (145-1920): Directly ahead of you is the grave of Kate M. Riely Small. She was born in Winchester, Virginia, in 1845. During the Civil War, she served the Confederacy as a nurse and dispatch bearer and was later employed by the treasury department in Columbia, SC. She married William Latimer Small and was survived by son, George Small and four daughters: Mrs. John C. Schmidt of York: Mrs. Powell C. Fauntleroy of Charleston, SC; Mrs. Redmond C. Stewart of Baltimore; Mrs. Walter S. Franklin of New York City; and a daughter-in-law, the widow of the late Phillip A. Small.
28. William Latimer Small (1830-1903): William Small is buried to the right of Kate. A son of P.A. and Sarah Latimer Small, William married Mary S. Wilson of Baltimore, Maryland in 1860. He was admitted to the family firm in 1862 and was its senior member at his death. He contributed to York's decision to surrender and boldly kept the U.S. flag flying as the Confederates entered town. Small also assisted his uncle Samuel Small in the founding of the Children's Home. He married a second time to Kate M. Riely of Virginia.
