Grave of Robert Holt Hindman near Ripley, Mississippi. As the epitaph indicates, Hindman had the misfortune of being killed by William C. Falkner of Ripley in 1849. Falkner would go on to become a planter, lawyer, a colonel in the Civil War, a railroad entrepreneur, and a best-selling novelist (for "The White Rose of Memphis") before being killed himself by a former business partner. Falkner is today most famous, however, for being the namesake of his great-grandson, the Nobel Prize-winning novelist William Faulkner.
