Weeping Angel bought and placed here by the congregation of First Baptist Church of Columbus in 1891 as a token of their love for Dr. Thomas Cox Teasdale, the 9th pastor of their church, serving from 1858 until 1863.
He resigned the ministry of the church to go preach to the Confederate troops out in the field. After that became increasingly impossible, Dr. Teasdale came back to Mississippi and got involved in trying to organize an orphanage for soldier's children.
