I was walking around in Springhill Cemetery yesterday and found this headstone. John Cabell was the first firefighter on
Charleston Fire Department to be killed in the line of duty. I did a little research and found that he was killed responding to a fire. The steamer and the team of horses (probably similar to the one shown) he was on was struck by a streetcar.
