The student, Townsend Heaton, was born in 1846, the eldest son of Dr. Decatur Heaton in Loudoun county, Virginia.  As a 17 year old youth he joined the confederate army under the command of  Col. John S. Mosby, and fought for four years, including the battle at Gettysburg. After the war he studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, as did his father and his grandfather, but then moved to Marquette, Michigan where he practiced medicine with his uncle, Dr. Abram Heaton for part of the time. Around 1880 he returned to Hamilton, Loudoun county, Virginia and died at age 37 in December 1883, leaving a wife and one child. He was interred at Short Hill burying ground.
