The article was in the local paper in Nelson County, VA. It was placed there by some group that he belonged to. I can't find the original which contained the information about them, but the article reads
"Cornelius Walter Mahone. Some two or three weeks before his death he was slightly wounded in his left hand by a piece of glass. Soon after, as he was chinking a tobacco house, he felt a sensation in his left arm as if detached bones were rattling there.He sent for Dr. Lemmon, who told him that lockjaw was imminent and advised amputation of the hand.To this he declined to submit.Mortification set in and progressed until the flesh of the arm fell away from the bones.Death came then and ended his suffering.He was well known andrespected."
My grandmother was a daughter of Cornelius and Deliah Ramsey Mahone.
