ASKEW, David O. (Owen), 18 Aug 1828 - 2 Sep 1876. ("Tenn. Cpl., Cop. F, 14 Regt. Tenn Inf. C.S.A." (s/o Bryant and Mary Ann Sowell Askew; note this man is also listed as being buried in Liberty Church Cemetery, in "They Passed This Way", by Lightfoot and Shackleford.)
update according to Laura Modine
 

David died on Sept 2 1876 (instead of 1878 as reported on FAG) Also reported on the cemetery web site Findagrave his wife is reported as being Elizabeth White Boles. Their Marriage Certificate records her as Elizabeth V. Boles. I rely on a marriage licenses more since it is first person information being given about oneself before memory is usually affected. Census enumerators often have incorrect information, as well as family lore is often incorrect.
I am not disputing what is already there just making my case for reliability of one record versus another.

In the confusion of burials it is possible David is interred in the Liberty Church Cemetery and has a monument here. Often that is the way military markers are set especially in the confusion of the Confederacy. There are few marked stones in Liberty Church Cemetery and lost graves can be seen all around the graveyard premises. Sometimes when family are faced with setting a military marker they choose a common burial ground instead of the remote Liberty Church Cemetery. In this case of the Liberty Church Cemetery was at one time not so remote. Today there is a wooden military Marker set in the  Liberty Church Cemetery by an interested party so that David has duplicate markers in both the Mt Nebo & Liberty Church Cemeteries.
