Pettus the son of Mississippi Governor at the time of the Civil War and was killed in action. This was word of mouth and I have done no research on this. The young man I received this from said it has been in their family for several years and was given to him by his Grandfather. So I'm listing it for sale as a common name stencil because to me it is missing one major piece that would positively I'D it and that is the word Corporal. If Corporal was there it would be valued 10 times over my asking price. Still without a doubt it is a nice piece of southern history.
