The ribbon is pinned across the top of an explanatory note entitled "Jefferson Davis Memorial Badge," written by J. W. Flinn. The note indicates that the Flinn wore the ribbon at South Carolina' memorial service for Jefferson Davis. The note mourns the "dead President of the dead Confederacy," describes his himself as "a native of Mississippi -- a member of the 17th Mississippi Regiment and a personal friend of Jefferson Davis and of the Cause for which her [Nellie Flinn's] father fought & bled."
