About Daniel Asbury Baugh, (CSA)
Served in the Confederate Army - Lewis Battalion, Company B, Alabama Cavalry (more about that below - after more personal stories)
Oran Baugh told a story that Daniel and his uncle were captured during the war. Daniel and his uncle ducked through a small house as they passed and escaped by swimming the nearby river.
Oran also said Daniel was once captured by Indians, who tied him to a tree in their camp. He bent the tree over the campfire and burned the rawhide they had tied him with to get away. He had a scar on his wrists the rest of his life.
From a website - Lewis' Battalion, Alabama Cavalry
Lewis' battalion served in central Alabama and Georgia during the summer and fall of 1864, and until the close of the war. It consisted of five companies under Captains Harrell, Brooks, Morrison, Barnes and May. The gallant Major Lewis was killed while leading the battalion at Lafayette, Ga. He was succeeded in command by Maj. William V. Harrell.
Extracts From Official War Records
No. 74--(997) One killed, 5 wounded, at Lafayette, Ga., June 24, 1864. Maj. T. H. Lewis killed. (998, 999) Col. C. H. Armistead's report says: "Majors Lewis and Redwood have tested their devotion to our cause by sealing it with their blood." (1000, 1001) Colonel Ball's report of same. (1003) Capt. William V. Harrell's report says: "When nearly opposite the east end of the jail, the noble, gallant and chivalrous Major Lewis fell mortally wounded, while leading his men to the charge, addressing them in language of endearment and encouragement, stimulating them by word and example to the performance of deeds worthy of the world-wide reputation of the sons of the South for bravery and heroism. As the spirit of the lamented Lewis was about to bid adieu to its earthly tenement, his feeble voice was heard saying: 'Charge them, boys, charge them,' and right nobly did his gallant boys respond." (1004) One killed, 7 wounded at battle of Lafayette.

Also - about his home town -
Dalby Springs, TX is listed on the website http://ghosttowns.com/
It has listings of ghost towns all over the country, including a lot in North Dakota. (including some that I thought might be premature, but some of the towns up here are hard to tell) Anyway, Dalby Springs was on the list.
It is where Daniel Asbury Baugh moved to in the late 20's until he died in 1932. When he applied for a confederate pension in 1931 he valued his house at 400 dollars, which is apparently no longer there. His profile picture is the Methodist church he attended that is still standing. There is also a picture of the cemetery where he is buried.
