Rev Samuel T. Ruffner (1836 - 1923) - Find A Grave Memorial

  Buried in the same cemetery as Reverend Ruffner is the Civil War diarist Lucy Rebecca Buck  (1842-1918) of Front Royal, VA. She chronicled wartime events in her diary and was the author of: "Sad Earth, Sweet Heaven," and: "Shadows of My Heart."
  Also buried in Prospect Hill Cemetery is Lucy's brother Captain Irving Ashby Buck (1840-1912). He served in the 7th Virginia, then on General Beauregard's staff, and finally on General Cleburne's staff. He later wrote a biography of General Cleburne titled: "Cleburne and His Command."
