The space is too Important for any thing that has not special merit. The date to subscriptions is always given to the month before it ends. For instance, If the VETERAN be ordered to begin with January, the date on mall list will be December, and the subscriber entitled to that number, WITH this greeting to patrons of the VETERAN for the new year there must be explanation and apology for delay in issue. It was difficult to determine about certain changes to be made in the new volume, leasing all upon the price. When it was decided to increase the price it was determined to improve the quality of material and, if possible, the matter, for the new year. A sudden and unexpected illness intervened just as matters were under way for having the VETERAN completed by the 15th, which compelled some delay. The articles in this number will be found very good, yet greater disappointment than ever has been had in promised articles of much strength and historic benefit, which it was expected would begin the new year's volume. Some of these may be expected in February. Review of many books and matters of interest to comrades has been unavoidably delayed. However, with better facilities than ever, with restored health, and with the assured approval of all people who honor the name Confederate, it is believed that in future the VETERAN will be better than it has ever been. The time of issuing the VETERAN has been from the 12th to the 18th of the month, although it has been designed to bring it to the first. It is considered best, however, to have publication day at about the middle of the month. Therefore patrons everywhere may not expect it before the 15th, close to which day it may be expected in the mail to every subscriber.SINCE having in charge the highly responsible work of sending out the CONFEDERATE VETERAN to so many thousands who are its loyal and firm supporters, the grave responsibility weighs heavier and heavier. A sentiment has been growing for months, to which reference is now made, which is in behalf of Union soldiers who were fired by the kind of patriotism that inspired Andrew Jackson to say, "The Union! it must and shall be preserved," who fought its battles to a victorious ending, and who, with admiration for the courage of Confederates and highest personal esteem, felt the great injustice of depriving them of property by confiscation, and have all these decades continued in a political minority whereby they have been wholly cut off from public patronage. In behalf of such men I am impelled to commend the consideration of comrades. Ought we not take such action as opportunity offers that will bring about a co operative spirit with them and assure them in every possible way that they have not only our gratitude, but that we are determined to co operate at any time in such measures as will enable them to exercise such influence upon the administration of government as their patriotism and their steadfastness merit? There can be no spirit truer than that which inspires this sentiment. In their and our powerless condition three decades have elapsed, and we have never manifested to them the regret we feel and the high regard we entertain for them. So much as a suggestion. Let it be said that the VETERAN is for such patriots, and is for making known that Confederate veterans have a thoroughly fraternal regard for the men who fought us only to maintain the Union, and we would gladly co operate with them for the common good of our great country.
Adair, J.

W. L. Cabell, so well known as Commander Trans Mississippi Department, U. C. V.] In the month of October, 1907, in Pittsburg, Tex., Capt. J. L. Adair, one of the brave Arkansas soldiers who followed the flag of the Confederacy until it was furled and laid away, died surrounded by his family and a number of his comrades. Capt. J. L. Adair enlisted in the 6th Regiment of Arkansas Infantry early in the war as a private. His regiment was in the battle of Shiloh, and was immediately in front of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston when he was mortally wounded in that memorable charge. He was promoted to first lieutenant, and was badly wounded the last day. Owing to his wounds, he was discharged and sent to his  home, in Arkansas. As soon as he was able he organized a cavalry company and joined Monroe's Regiment in the fall of 1862, commanding Company K of that regiment. With his command he was in the battle of Prairie Grove, in December, 1862. In February, 1863, Monroe's Regiment was assigned and made a part of Cabell's Brigade, Arkansas Cavalry, and Captain Adair was never absent, unless wounded, a single day until the close of the war. He was in all the battles of his regiment with Cabell's Brigade in North and Northwest Arkansas in 1863. Ill the spring of 1864 he was in all the engagements with the Federal General Steele, when with his whole army he attempted to form a junction with Banks's army, then invading Louisiana by way of Red River. Cabell, Marmaduke, and Shelby, however, by capturing all his supply trains and transportation forced him to return to Little Rock. Captain Adair was also with his company on Price's raid into Missouri. He was in eight battles in Arkansas, twenty in Missouri, and six in Kansas. In the death of this gallant Confederate soldier his family mourns the loss of a good father and husband, his comrades a brave and true soldier and citizen. Peace to his ashes

Angell, a Confederate veteran, died at his home, in Pine Bluff, Ark., on February 8, 1909. He was born of English parents in 1838, going with his father's family in 1849 to Huntsville, Ala., where he grew to manhood and lived until the breaking out of the War between the States. He enlisted in one of the first companies raised in that city, which became Company F of the 4th Alabama Infantry, a regiment that won fame in the first battle of Manassas under Col. E. J. Jones, who was wounded and died in Richmond. In this battle Joe P. Angell won the plaudits of his officers and comrades by his gallant and heroic conduct. When Colonel Jones fell, Joe remained with him against his protest and in utter disregard of danger. Finding it impossible to remove him from the field unaided, he started in pursuit of his regiment to procure help, but soon found himself exposed to a terrific cross fire. He threw himself down upon his face to avoid being killed, but was soon stunned by a cannon ball which struck his knapsack and scattered its contents all around. A Federal soldier came along and robbed him of his knife, pistol, and cap, leaving him for dead. When the field became more quiet, he arose and moved on. Finding a comrade to assist him, the two carried the colonel off the field. Serving faithfully with his regiment to the close of the war, Joe Angell then made his home in Memphis, Tenn., where he pursued his trade as jeweler. He was married to Miss Emily Dobyns, of Amite City, La., in July, 1867, and in December of that year he removed to Pine Bluff, Ark., which was his home until death. He is survived by his widow, one son, and two daughters. He was a devout Church member, upright in all his dealings, a loving husband and father.

Baines Bailey (1842 - 1927)- Text: THE DEATH OF  GEN.  BEN. M'CULLOCH.BY J. M. BAILEY, WARREN, ARK. I was color bearer of the Sixteenth Arkansas Infantry (Col. J. F. Hill commander) at  the battle of Elkhorn, or Pea Ridge, Ark., March 7 and 8, 1862. The forces of Gens. McCulloch and Price, under  Gen.  Van Dorn, on the morning of March 6 made an attack on the Federal position at Pea Ridge. The attack was made from the north and northwest, McCulloch  commanding the right wing of the Confederate forces.  Early in the engagement of the first day Gen. McCulloch was killed, which in all probability lost the battle to us.As I have never seen any account of the immediate circumstances connected with the death of  Gen. McCulloch, I will state what came under my observation. So far as I could see, my regiment,  the Sixteenth Arkansas, formed the extreme right of the infantry under Gen. McCulloch. After some skirmishing and a charge of mounted men to our right, in which a Federal battery was captured, the infantry moved forward in line of battle, halting in some timbered land about one hundred yards north of a field some four hundred yards across, but which was of much greater length, lying east and west. From this position we could get glimpses of the enemy's artillery and infantry on the opposite side of the field, and received several rounds of grape and canister. This position we occupied only a few minutes, when Gen. McCulloch came riding along, unattended, in front of our line, passing from left to right. He spoke a few words in passing, but I do not now recall what he said. When near the right of the regiment, he ordered two companies forward as skirmishers, and rode on alone into some thick woods to our right. He was carrying, as was his custom, a short breech loading rifle and his field glass. A few moments after he passed out of sight the regiment was ordered by the right flank to a position some two hundred yards to our right, then "forward, right oblique" through thick woods to the fence on the north side of the field above referred to, driving a heavy skirmish line before us. Col. Hill, in passing, ordered me to lower the flag, as it showed above the tops of the bushes and was drawing a heavy artillery fire from the enemy. Feeling at liberty then to leave my position, I passed along the line to the right of the regiment (where my brother, Lieut. W. W. Bailey, was commanding the company to which I belonged) to see what loss the men of my own company sustained. When near the right of the regiment, young Jones, of my old company, some forty yards to the right, called to me, saying: "Come here. Here is  Gen.  McCulloch." His body was lying in some thick woods, full length on his back, with a bullet hole showing plainly in the right breast of his coat. I recall vividly the quiet, peaceful expression his face bore in death. A bit of white cotton patching, powder stained with a hole in the center, such as was used in the make up of cartridges for the Mississippi rifle, was sticking in the hole made by the bullet in his coat. This, taken in connection with the fact that some of the Federals we killed and wounded near the fence were armed with Mississippi rifles, showed conclusively that he had been killed by one of the Federal sharpshooters posted behind the fence not over forty yards away. His horse, gun, field glass, and watch were gone. I reported to Lieut. Pixley, adjutant of the regiment, who was standing a short distance away. He took off his overcoat and threw it over the body of the General, covering his face with the cape, saying: "We must not let the men know that Gen. McCulloch is killed." About this time Col. Rector's Regiment of Arkansas Infantry passed, going to our right. To the inquiry of some of the officers as to who was killed. Lieut. Pixley answered, "An orderly sergeant." A detail of four men from my company carried the body to the rear, and it was later sent to Texas for burial. Gen.  McCulloch evidently started to the field to reconnoiter the enemy's position, and rode up on their line of sharp shooters. Whether he had dismounted or was killed from his horse, I never knew. And thus "one of the most gallant leaders of the Confederacy had fought his last battle."-p.552 Confederate Veteran December 1905

On May 18,1861, youn Balch entered the Confederate army, joining the 12th Miss. Infantry. He was so severely wounded at the battle of Seven Pines that for many months his life hung in the balance, and was saved only by those historic women of old Virginia whose names and famre have come down to us with loving praises as an example to other generations of American women. The wound never entirely healed, and to the day of his death was the subject of constant medical attention. Consider$$$$ing such a lifelong burden, it is wonderful that he possessed such an iron will and determination as to enable him to lead so vigorous and useful a life. He was admitted to the practice of law in 1870, and soon became a leader among the entire bar of North Mississippi. Influenced by friends who had preceded him, with his family he removed to Little Rock in 1881. His practice there was limited, as much of his pleading was in the eastern portion of the State, where he was widely known. Three weeks before his death, he called a friend and gave him the details for his burial. Comaded Balch was an ardent Confederate, boldly vindicating every principle that actuated his people.

Barlow, a beloved citizen of Phillips County, Ark, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. P. Coolidge, in Helena, on September 17, 1920. Joseph Cantrill Barlow was born in Scott County, Ky., on January 3, 1836. He went to Helena from Georgetown, Ky., in 1859 and made that his home until the beginning of the War between the States. In Febraury, 1861, he participated in the movement which resulted in the capture of the arsenal at Little Rock from the United States troops. In April, 1861, he enlisted as a private in Gen. Patrick Cleburne's command and served with that distinguished Confederate officer until the State troops were reorganized and transferred to the service of the Confederate States of America. He then joined the 2d Arkansas Battery, having selected the artillery as his arm of the service, and served under Maj. F. A. Shoupe until that officer was transferred to the Army of Tennessee. The battery was a part of Gen. N. B. Forrest's command. Captain Barlow served with General Forrest until within a few months of surrender. He was sent to Mobile and was there during the siege of that city. After the fall of Mobile he went to Meridian, Miss., where he was paroled on May 13, 1865, as a member of Gen. Dick Taylor's command. Captain Barlow was thought to be the last of the commissioned officers serving under General Forrest. After the war Captain Barlow went to Memphis, Tenn.. and later returned to Helena. During the days of Reconstruction Captain Barlow organized a section of artillery and patroled Phillips County, every township furnishing a company of cavalry, serving under Col. Paul Anderson. The result of this movement was to take official affairs of the county out of the hands of the carpetbaggers. Captain Barlow served several terms as mayor of Helena, and throughout his life after the war he was identified with the business interests and welfare of Phillips County. No citizen of Helena was more highly respected and none more popular personally. He is survived by one daughter and one son, J. C. Barlow, Jr., of Trenton, and seven grandchildren.

[This article was written by W. T. Barnes, a private of Company G, 1st Arkansas Infantry, Govan's Brigade, Cleburne's Division, Hardee's Corps, Army of Tennessee, who died several years ago. In sending it to the Veteran, W. E. Bevens, of Newport, Ark., writes: "There was no better soldier in the army than W. T. Barnes; he was from my town, Jacksonport, and we went out together in the 1st Arkansas Regiment, Company G, one hundred and fifty strong, and after four years we got back with twenty-seven men. We have a fine monument in our courthouse yard to the memory of the Confederate dead of Jackson County, and the name of every man belonging to our Camp, Tom Hindman, No 318, U. C. V., is cut in the marble. We are very proud of our monument."] It has often been a matter of speculation with me why (in the various episodes and sketches of the "late unpleasantness") some truthful account has not been given by the "Northern side of the fence" of the Federal charge on the Confederate line of works at the battle of Kenesaw Mountain, June 27, 1664. It appears to me as a climax to that dreadful and fearful onslaught the Yankees owe the Rebels a debt of gratitude that for over fifty years has lain dormant without the least attempt at acknowledgment. I refer to the fearful conflagration in the immediate front of Cleburne's division in this battle, when Cleburne's men stopped firing and rendered such vital assistance to the Yankees who were penned up in this holocaust of dead, wounded, and living Federal soldiers. I will endeavor, barring personal feeling and prejudices liable to crop out, to give as accurate a synopsis as is possible, and there are, no doubt, Federal soldiers now living who can verify this statement. You must know we had no double lines with reserves to back us, and the first impulse of Confederates, as well as Yankees, was to entrench as soon as a line of battle was established, which usually occurred at night; and, allow me to add. at such times the ground never got too hard for us to burrow into, and we didn't have time to lean back against the root of some stately pine and sweetly dream the happy hours away. On the evening previous to the Kenesaw fight a battery of some eight or ten pieces of light artillery came up, halting near our command—a North Carolina battery, whose previous service was in coast duty and had never been mixed up in any of our inland scrimmages. We soon learned this battery was for "we uns." It was surely a slick looking outfit. Men, guns, uniform, harness and horses, all looked fresh from the mold. On account of this newness, and not having any coast work near at hand, we would have preferred Sweat's battery or some other of those familiars that we could chin out of a chew of tobacco or—well, those fellows were not ashamed to mix with us on the front. You see, we were just a trifle juberous of new cannon, new uniforms, new horses, and so forth, but as the preferred ones had business elsewhere, we resolved to take what the Lord, and General Cleburne, gave us and do our level best. I should mention that our line was on the brow of a slight eminence, and the Yankee line also on a slight rise, there being a depression and gully between the two lines, our line and the Federal being in clear view of each other and but

Black was born November 6, 1842, in Rutherford  County, Tenn., and died in Searcy, Ark., November 24, 1906, from the effects of a paralytic stroke received a few months previous. When the Civil War broke out, he in listed as a private in Capt. John McCauley's company, made up at Searcy, Ark., and which became a part of the Arkansas Regiment commanded by the gallant R. G. (Bob) Shaver. While camped at Bowling Green, Ky., young Black was afflicted seriously with measles. He became so feeble that he was (honorably) discharged from the service. Soon after returning to his home he reenlisted in Capt. Will Hicks's company of cavalry, made up in White County. Ark., which company was on detached service for several months, during which time some severe engagements were had, the battle of Whitney's Lane being one of the worst. It resulted in a great victory, numbers considered. Captain Black was a participant. After several months of this character of service, the company was attached to the 32d Arkansas Regiment, the last volunteer regiment raised in the State. Said regiment served in Dandridge McRae's Brigade, of the Trans Mississippi Department, Gen. T. C. Hindman commanding. Black attained to the rank of sergeant major of the regiment. He was in the battles of Prairie Grove and of Helena, Ark. When Little Rock fell into the hands of the Federals, he was inside the lines on furlough. He then reported to Gen. T. H. McCray, who was organizing a brigade in North Arkansas, He, in connection with Capt. T. B. Mosely, organized a company, and a short while after its organization he resigned and Black was elected captain.  This company was attached to the 48th Arkansas Cavalry Regiment, which made the famous Missouri raid. Captain Black and his company were in its every engagement. No truer or more gallant soldier ever lived. He took an active part in the political affairs of his county, filling the positions of Alderman, Treasurer, and Mayor of his little city, also sheriff of his county for several years.

He was born in Woodford Co.,Ky, Apr.30,1834, and was a graduate of Center College at Danville. At the beginning of the War between the States, he was practicing law at Helena, Ark. He was a lawyer of attainments, able and eloquent in debate. Joining a company of which that iron solder, Patrick R.Cleburne was captain, he was elected a lieutenant at its organization. This company was a part of the 1st Ark.Infantry, State Troops. Cleburne was Colonel after the transfer of the regiment to the Confederate service, and it was then known as the 15th Ark.Infantry. Before the transfer of his regiment to the Condederate service, Lieutenant Blackburn was elected captain of a company in another regiment. All of his service was in the Trans-Mississippi Dept. He rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and distinguished himself in the battle of Helena, Ark. After the war he resumed his practice of his profession at Helena, but later returned to Kentucky  and was a farmer in Woodford County. He had every attribute of a nobleman. His soul was imbued with justice, and his heart was attuned with the broad humanity that could say, “Our County.” His patriotism nerved his arm and steeled his heart to battle for the cause that he knew to be right. He had five brothers in the Confederate army, one of whom was the Hon.J.C.S.Blackburn, long a Congressman and United States Senator from Kentucky, and the only one now living. Another brother, Dr.Luke P.Blackburn, the philanthropist and noted specialist in treating yellow fever, was Governor of Kentucky after the war. He himself long represented his district in the Senate of Kentucky and was a member of the convention that framed the present Constitution. He was appointed United States marshal for Kentucky by President Cleveland. His wife, two sons, and a daughter survive him. notonfag

His parents moved to Arkansas in 1843, and settled near Camden, where he attended school, finishing at the Univ.Of Arkansas, in Fayetteville. After returning home he read medicine and graduated in the medical department of the Univ. of Louisiana early in 1861. He at once commenced the practice of medicine. Not content, however, to let his country’s call go unheeded, he, in May of that year, enlisted in Co.G-of the 11th Ark.Infantry as a private. After organization of the regiment in Little Rock, he was readily appointed assistant surgeon. Declining to leave his mess in the company and go to headquarters, charges were prepared against him by the surgeon of the regiment. This was at New Madrid, Mo. During the sitting of the court his company marched up with their arms to defend him, with their blood if need by, but before the case was decided the enemy had made their appearance, and as it was apparent that an engagement was imminent it was decided to send the sick of the regiment to Memphis, in charge of Dr.Bragg. After the evacuation of New Madrid and the fall of Island No.10 he barely escaped being taken prisoner while on his return from Memphis to join the command again, the enemy’s gunboats running the transport on which he as returning down the river. Being without a command, he returned to Camden, and was Examinng Officer for a while, but was soon assigned to field duty with Col.Crawford’s Battalion, which was sent to the Arkansas Post. At the fall of that place he swam his horse across the river and made his escape, reporting for duty to the Medical Dept. at Little Rock, where he was assigned to hospital service for several months. He as afterwards appointed assistant surgeon for Grinstead’s 33rd Ark.Infantry, in which he served till the close of the war. Dr.Bragg never failed to go at the call of a sick comrade. He was a man of strong convictions and fearless in defending them. He had a very sympathetic nature, and was large-hearted. None appealed to him for help in vain. He died in Oct.1900, perhaps in St.Louis, Mo. per Tooley Family Tree. He is buried in Greenwood cemetery, Camden, next to spouse, Anna Josephine (Goddard) Bragg (b.Ga.1836-d.Camden, Ark.1897) with a very nice monument.

Buchanan, Matthew Young- p.221 Confederate Veteran May 1903.-The VETERAN pays special tribute to the character of Matthew Young Buchanan, whose life began and ended at Moberly, Mo. He was born April 5, 1838, and died April 7, 1903. Both of Judge Buchanan's parents C. C. Buchanan and Elizabeth Jenkins were reared in Middle Tennessee, and, as might have been expected, he ardently espoused the Confederate cause. He was a member of Company A of the Tenth Missouri Infantry.  His regiment fought at Boonville and Lexington, Mo., at Prairie Grove, Ark., and at Corinth, Miss. W. J. Walker, of Jacksonville, Mo., who was practically with him every day during the war, reports that on July 4, 1863, in an unequal struggle at Helena, from 600 to 700 of the regiment were captured, including ourselves. We were held at Alton, Ill., eight months, and after a year longer at Fort Delaware we were exchanged and started on our way to the Trans- Mississippi Department. After much difficulty we reached the great river, seeking a means to cross, when the Federals recaptured us. We were at Vicksburg for two weeks, then sent back to Alton prison and kept there until after the surrender. The VETERAN had no more zealous friend. A few months ago the editor, being at Moberly, Judge Buchanan procured a gathering of veterans and Daughters of the Confederacy, and an hour of reminiscences and conferences upon live issues was profitably spent. The occasion will be delightedly remembered. Judge Buchanan was a ruling elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for nearly forty years, and was long the president of the elders' and deacons' board. He served over thirty five years on the school board of his district, and was presiding judge of the County Court for eight years. He is survived by a wife, a daughter, and four sons. The funeral was conducted in the Sugar Creek Church by the pastor of the Moberly Church, Rev. J. L. Routt. Messrs. Shearon, Walker, Pool, Dossey, Holbrooks, and Frank Tedford paid tribute to his worth. Comrade Walker, of Jacksonville, Mo., who knew him best through severest trials, writes that he was good and true, that there was no deception in him. To this loyal comrade Judge Buchanan said just before the end : "If it is the Lord's will to take me now, I am ready to go."-notonfag

Ill a sketch of the services of Capt. Pleasant Buchanan in the Confederate war, J. Mont. Wilson, of Springfield, Mo., gives the following:Pleasant H. Buchanan was professor of mathematics in Cane Hill College, Washington County, Ark., when the Confederate war began. When the first call for troops by the State was made a company of the college boys and the surrounding country was at once organized, and Pleasant Buchanan was elected captain, the president of the college serving in the company as a private.  It was made one of the companies of Col. Gratiot's Third Regiment of Arkansas State Troops. This regiment took a very active part in the battle of Oak Hills, or Wilson Creek, fought on August 10, 1861. Gen. Lyon, the Federal commander, was killed in their front. After the State troops were disbanded, Capt. Buchanan immediately raised another company about September, 1861, and it became Company H, of the Fifteenth Arkansas Infantry. They went into winter quarters at Blake & Black's Mills, near Cross Hollows, Benton County, Ark., with the Third Louisiana and McNair's Regiment from South Arkansas. When Gen. Price retreated from Springfield, Mo., before Gens. Curtis and Sigel, his regiment, the Fifteenth Arkansas, was the first to reenforce Gen. Price at Elkhorn Tavern. The battle of Elkhorn, or Pea Ridge, was fought a week or two later, early in March, 1862. Gen. Price fell back to Boston Mountain, where Gen. Ben McCulloch united his forces with him. They advanced north and gave battle to Gens. Curtis and Sigel on Pea Ridge, in Benton County. During the fight of the second day Capt. Buchanan, his first lieutenant, Patent Inks, and some of his men penetrated the Federal lines and were captured. They were sent to prison on Johnson's Island. His regiment was transferred with Price's army to Corinth, Miss. After the siege of Corinth, when Gen. Bragg took command of the army, at Tupelo, Miss., he reorganized it and compelled the different regiments to fill all the vacancies of company commissioned officers. When Capt. Buchanan and Lieut. Inks were exchanged in the summer they found themselves without a command. They made their way to Northwest Arkansas and attached themselves to Gen. T. C. Hindman's army.  Capt. Buchanan fought as a private in Capt. Earl's (Cane Hill,  Company, of the Thirty Fourth Arkansas Infantry, at Prairie Grove. He was slightly wounded in the side, the ball passing through this canteen before it struck him. This was in December, 1862. Gen. Hindman's army fell back to Little Rock, and spent the balance of the winter there. In the spring Capt. Buchanan received a commission from tine War Department to raise a cavalry company of Partisan Rangers. He went to Northwest Arkansas about May, 1 think, and in sixty days had organized about fifty men. lie attached his men with Capt. Buck Brown, of Benton County, with the aim of raising a battalion. He began active operations at once against the Federal forces operating from South Missouri and Fort Gibson and numerous scouting and foraging parties through Northern Arkansas, alone or with Capt. Brown or any other Confederate troops, as the occasion required. The company was constantly on the move that summer, and engaged in many fights and skirmishes. On one occasion part of each of Buchanan's and Brown's companies caught a Federal scout going from Springfield, Mo, to Fort Gibson, id. T., killing and wounding a few and capturing the captain of the scout and twenty two of his men. At another time they charged a Federal scout occupying Fayetteville, losing one man, but drove them out of town, capturing the commanding officer and some three or four men. In the fall Col. Brooks's Cavalry Brigade made a raid through Northern Arkansas and Southern Missouri. Capts. Brown and Buchanan joined forces with him and did most of the scouting and picketing for his command. This command started to Cassville, Mo., to capture some Federal supplies. On the way they heard of a large force of Federals, with infantry, artillery, and cavalry, camped just below the Missouri line, guarding a supply train. Col. Brooks's plan was to attack about daylight, so he sent Lieut. Inks with a squad from each of Capts. Buchanan's and Brown's companies as an advance guard, with instructions to attack vigorously and he would support him at once. We did so, capturing their pickets and fighting their infantry and artillery for an hour. It got so hot that we had to send to Col. Brooks for the support he had promised, and found his command in line behind a fence a mile in our rear. In answer, he sent Capt. Buchanan and his company as infantry to drive them back. He moved quickly, deployed in line of battle, and drove them back into their camp or the field surrounding it. We quietly drew off, and that ended the fight. We moved over on War Eagle and King's River, in Madison and Carroll Counties, and came in contact with the Federal Gen. McNeil, who had followed Gen. Joe Shelby out of Missouri on one of his raids up near Springfield. We fought his command for two days continuously. Capts. Buchanan and Brown were in the rear guard nearly all the time. The next day Col. Brooks decided to go South for the winter.   A part of these two companies were scattered through the country scouting, and did not know of this move till after Col. Brooks's command was south of the Arkansas River. Capt. Buchanan intended to complete the organization of his company by electing the other officers the first time we were in camp long enough. When we went into camp in Southern Arkansas we found, with the squads left in Northern Arkansas and some others dropping out on a nine days and nights' march (as we stopped only long enough for our horses to feed and rest) , that he was short of the number required to make a full company and elect a full quota of officers. The squads and scouts left in Northwest Arkansas not coming South, as expected. Gen. W. L. Cabell, commanding the division, detailed Capt. Buchanan to take eleven picked men and horses from these two companies and go to Northern Arkansas and bring out these men. His instructions were to avoid all towns, Federal posts, or large bodies of Federals, gather up all the squads or individuals, not to do anything to alarm the Federal posts in the country, and avoid any engagement till across the Arkansas River. This was a very hazardous undertaking, as the Arkansas River was fordable at this season of the year at only a few places, and every dugout, canoe, or boat of any kind had been burned by the Federals, except at large towns, where guards were constantly watching the river. There was a chain of posts on the north side of the river, from Little Rock to Van Burch, and one on the south side from Little Rock, by Arkadelphia, Caddo Gap, and Waldrop, to Fort Smith. Every mill and village in Northwest Arkansas had a post, and scouts pasting daily. The worst feature was the leaves off the trees and no forage at all in the country, and no meat or bread for the women and children.  On FAG-Tstone

Bush is dead Native of Cassell, Germany; Arrived in Benton in 1855. Frederick W. Brush, one of the best known citizens of Benton, died Tuesday afternoon July 14, 1914, at the family home of North Main Street, after an illness of several months, followed by a fall when he broke a hip bone. The injury affected him in such a way that he gradually grew weaker, until on Tuesday he peacefully passed away surrounded by the immediate members of his family. Mr. Bush was 77 years old on January 30. Mr Bush was born in Cassell, Germany, January 30, 1837. His father was a lawyer in Germany, but came to this country in 1848 and joined his brother-in-law, John W. Shoppach. Mr. Bush, Sr., died near Benton the following year of a congestive chill. In 1855, he sailed from Germany, arriving in New Orleans after an eight weeks' trip. He arrived in Benton Christmas day 1855, and except for the Civil War period, has lived here continuously. Soon after locating in Benton he took up his trade of harness and saddle maker, and his business such that at times he employed several men in his shop. When the war broke out he enlisted in the First Arkansas Infantry and served valiantly throughout the war. He participated in the battles of Manassas, Shiloh, Chickamauga and New Hope church and was in engagements at Murfreesboro, Franklin, Nashville and Spring Hill. At Shiloh he was wounded in the left arm, and New Hope in the right shoulder. Coming home from the war, he found a scene of desolation. Federal troops had appropriated his stock of goods and his home had been used by officers of the quartermaster's department. He soon opened up a grocery store and carried a stock of liquors, which was customary at that time. In 1875, he sold out and entered the drug business from which he retired about 10 years ago. Mr. Bush is survived by his wife, a sister, Miss Johanna Bush (age 89), Cassell, Germany, and two sons, Fred C. and Ernest J. Bush, and one daughter Mrs. R. W. Bailey of Crenshaw, Mississippi. He was a member of Lodge No. 34, F&AM, and took quite a prominent part in the work. Also a member of the Benton Presbyterian church. For many years he took an active part in the affairs of David O. Dodd Camp, UCV. Funeral services were conducted at the Benton Presbyterian church Wednesday afternoon by the pastor, Rev. J. E. Congdon. Masonic burial services were observed at the grave in Rosemont cemetery, where a large crowd of sorrowing friends had gathered to pay a last tribute of respect.

His gallant spirit passed into the realm of shadows at 3 a.m., Nov.19,1896. He was a Confederate officer of rare distinction, and won his way from the ranks to the majorate of his regiment, and never was honor more worthily bestowed.

Cathey, John A.- Vol.28, page 70-To the Memory of John A Cathey and John R Loftin Members of Company G First Arkansas Infantry With the passing of 1919 there also passed away two old Confederates who had been landmarks in the history of Jackson County Ark two men who in the heyday of youth had gone out with willing step and hearts unafraid to defend the hearths and homes they loved These men were John A. Cathey and John R Loftin members of the old Jackson Guards the first military company to leave Jackson County at the outbreak of the War between the States Neither of these men was a native born Arkan san John Cathey was born at Raleigh Tenn while John Loftin was born near Murfreesboro Both came to Jacksonport Jackson County Ark the former in 1859 the latter in 1849 At the close of the war both returned to Jackson County and did their best to hold together together the remnants of a ruined land and remake it for the future John Cathey married and was for over forty years an active business man in the little town which bore his name Cathey town John Loftin married twice His first wife was Miss Bettie West and to this union were born four children John R Loftin Jr Sam Loftin Mrs WD Williams of Newport and Mrs Tom Shaver of Little Rock His second wife was Miss Mollie Leach and the child of this union Miss Bennie Loftin also lives in Little Rock Both John Cathey and John Loftin were well known throughout Jackson County the latter having been sheriff for ten years In social and political life they played their parts well but to men who were with Johnston at Shiloh and with Hood at Atlanta the point of paramount interest is What part did these men play in the military history of their country from 1861 to 1865. An outline of the activities of the Jackson Guards Company G 1st Arkansas Infantry will be the story of where they fought and what they endured for the sake of their beloved Southern cause The Jackson Guards was a company composed of the leading young men of Jackson County Ark organized in May 1861 by AC Pickett a prominent lawyer and a Mexican War veteran who was elected captain L C Gause was elected first lieutenant LL Moore second lieutenant and George Paine third lieutenant These officers served until 1862 when Pickett became colonel of Steen's Regiment of Missouri Infantry LC Gause colonel of the 326 Arkansas Infantry and Paine and Moore resigned Sam Shoup was then elected captain to succeed Pickett Allie Walthall first lieutenant Clay Lowe second lieutenant and John R Loftin third lieutenant These served throughout the war with courage and honor The company left Jacksonport on May 5 1861 on the steamer Mary Patterson commanded by Capt Morgan Bate man We went first to Memphis where we joined other companies under command of Col James P Fagan From there we were ordered to Richmond where we camped for two weeks and were often reviewed by President Davis From Richmond we went to Brooks Station and from Brooks Station to Manassas where we had our first taste of war After a double quick for over eight miles through the most intense heat we were thrown into line of battle We could see in front of us the enemy with glistening bayonets forward marching line after line of them When our batteries opened up it looked like harvesters mowing wheat The Federals couldn t stand the fire They broke and ran In the beginning we were shy of ammunition but before the battle was over we had all the guns and ammunition we could handle The Yankees did not want tq be hampered with any heavy weights while the Black Horse Cavalry was in their rear After Manassas we were transferred to the Western Army and struck Shiloh In this battle our army captured one whole division of Federals but sustained fearful losses In our regiment alone our colonel Thompson and two hundred and seventy men were killed wounded and captured John Cathey and John Loftin were both wounded not so badly but that the battle of Corinth found them at their posts again In the battle of Perryville our regiment was on the extreme left and was not called into action till late in the day Men were dying for water consequently the heaviest fighting was on the right where a spring lay halfway between the lines Both sides fought stubbornly but finally we had to give up the struggle and evacuate the town Stones River was another hard fought battle in which the boys of old Company G took part It was bitter cold sleeting and raining and to watch the old year out and the new year in with no tents over your head and Rosecrans's army in front of you was not the most desirable thing in the world The struggle was a bitter one fought with grim determination on each side Finally a fierce onslaught scattered our forces and the day was lost In twenty minutes two thousand of our men went down Our next hard fighting came at Chickamauga Our corps was listed as a reserve but the Yankees started in on the wrong end of the line for our division and Cleburne ordered us forward at quick step Soon thereafter we heard the roar of cannon no unfamiliar sound to us by then When we reached Chickamauga Creek Cleburne was there urging us on Boys go through the river We can t wait On we hurried and were soon in the midst of the fight Night came and we camped on the battle line ready at daybreak to resume the conflict For two days the fighting was intense resulting in a hard won victory for us but O how many of our brave boys had bitten the dust In the hard fighting at Chattanooga our division was on the extreme right with Cleburne in command We held in spite of the most stubborn assaults but the line at the foot of the mountain broke and we too had to fall back We made our next stand at Ringgold Gap where we were assigned the hazardous task of checking the enemy while our army reached a temporary zone of safety Cleburne with his Arkansas and Texas brigades massed his men at the railroad gap and commanded them not to fire till the Yankees marching seven columns deep were almost upon us He talked to us and told us that we were there to save our army five miles away that our task was one of great danger requiring nerve and skill but he knew he could depend on us to a man We thought he would never give the signal to fire but when he did so well did he know the art of war that for deadliness our work was not surpassed during the entire four years of conflict It is not inappropriate to mention here an incident of the fight at Ringgold Gap for three members of Company G were the active participants therein In front of our troops fighting at decided disadvantage was the 76th Ohio In the hottest of the fray they lost their flag It was picked up by John Cathey John Loftin and Lon Sted man and carried by them to Cleburne's headquarters About two years ago ten members of the old 1st Arkansas Regiment among whom were John Cathey and Lon Stedman returned this flag to the few survivors of the 76th Ohio The presentation was made at Newark Ohio by our late Comrade Gibbons and was the occasion of great rejoicing and celebration by the populace of that city Company G was in all the battles of Joseph E Johnston from Dalton to Atlanta seventy four days of almost continuous fighting At Peach Tree Creek on July 20 Clay Lowe and John Loftin were the only two commissioned officers the company had left By the time we reached Macon only one John Loftin was left What is probably an unparalleled incident in the annals of war transpired in front of our division at Kenesaw Mountain Dry leaves and undergrowth caught fire from gun wadding and shells There were not less than a thousand dead and wounded Federals in front of our line Lieutenant Colonel Martin of the 1st Arkansas Regiment climbed the breastworks and called to the Federals that as an act of humanity his men would suspend hostilities till they could come and carry off their dead and wounded In the battle of Atlanta Hood questioned the morale of his army As for Company G it went into action as loyally under Hood as it had ever done under Johnston After that most disastrous defeat we marched back into Tennessee and did our part in the awful battle of Franklin Here Hood commanded his men to charge impregnable breastworks across open field All the generals protested Forrest begged him change his plans To send soldiers against such a was nothing short of suicide Against every protest ordered the advance Cleburne's last words to his soldiers were Boys we are ordered to charge the I don t think we can take them but we can try Forward The men who had never failed to follow their great followed him now but it was his last charge Seven and ten thousand men went down The bravest blood of South was sacrificed The Confederacy was lost. Shortly after Franklin came the end Of the hundred and twenty boys members of the Jackson Guards who left Jack sonport in May 1861 one commissioned officer Capt Sam Shoup Lieut Clay Lowe John R Loftin and twenty six men John Cathey among the number came back In the years which have passed since then these too one at a time with two single exceptions have gone to join those comrades by whose sides they stood at Manassas at Shiloh at Atlanta and at Franklin On Fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread While Glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead WE Bevens Newport Ark. notonfag

(prob.Mt.Olivet with brother)-Service Unit:6th Ark.Inf.-Service Unit:General Cheatham's Staff, Major-Confederate Veteran-v.12, p.124-Text:Major John Anderson Cheatham was born near Nashville, Tenn, Jun.6,1825. He was the third son of Leonard Pope Cheatham and Elizabeth Robertson, and a great grandson of Gen.James Robertson, the founder of the City of Nashville. About 1850 Maj.Cheatham moved to Arkansas, where he was engaged in planting on an extensive scale when the war between the States opened. He assisted his kinsman, Col.Sam G.Smith, in recruiting the 6th Ark.Infantry, with which he served until he was appointed, in 1862, major on the staff of his distinguished brother, Maj.General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham, with whom he served until the close of the war. Surrendering with the army of Gen.Joseph E.Johnston at Bentonville, N.C. After the close of the war, Maj.Cheatham returned to Tennessee, but in a short time he resumed his planting operations in Arkansas. In 1882 he married Mrs.Lottie Wall Cheatham, the widow of Col.Edward Cheatham (Charlotte Wall married Edward Cheatham Oct.22,1857 Marshal Co., Miss.), and made his home thereafter in Memphis, where he died Nov.13,1903. Per Goodspeed: Maj. John A. Cheatham was born in Davidson County, in the suburbs of Nashville, June 6, 1826, and was a son of Col. Leonard P. Cheatham, a soldier with Jackson in the war of 1812, and a native of Virginia. He came to Tennessee at an early age. The Cheatham family were among the earliest settlers of Robertson County, and were recognized as leading men in that part of the State. Anderson Cheatham, the grandfather of our subject, was sheriff of Robertson County, and instrumental in forming the society and establishing the civilization of that locality. Sen. Richard Cheatham, who represented that district in the Legislature for a number of years, and was also a member of Congress, and Col. Edward Cheatham, who had been a member of both houses'of the Legislature, and for whom the county of Cheatham was named, and who did a great deal toward the construction of the Nashville & Edgefield Railroad, were numbered among the prominent members of the Cheatham family. The present member of Congress from that district, Hon. Joseph E. Washington, is a descendant of the Cheatham family; his father, the Hon. George A. Washington, formerly vice-president of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, and one of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens oI the State, was descended from the Cheathams on the mother's side. The father of our subject married Elizabeth Robertson, a granddaughter of Gen. James Robertson, for whom the county was named. He was the pioneer, and the acknowledged leader of the colony that settled the locality around Nashville. His life and virtues have been well portrayed by Col. Putman, in his "Life of Robertson." It was from this source that the late Gen. Cheatham, a brother of our subject, inherited his bravery during the late war, and his ability to command. Our subject's parents both died in Nashville, the father in March, 1863, and the mother December 23, 1881. The father was a lawyer and a politician of wide reputation, and held the position of postmaster under President Polk. The family consisted of eleven children, our subject being the fifth child. He was raised on a farm, and has made a business of farming and merchandising. He enlisted in the Confederate Army, belonging to an Arkansas regiment, but was afterward transferred to Gen. Cheatham's staff, and served from 1862 until the war closed, and was surrendered at High Point, N. C. January 17, 1882, he was married in Memphis, at the First Methodist Episcopal Church, to Mrs. Charlotte W. Cheatham. Mr. Cheatham has always been a Democrat, and cast his first presidential vote for Cass. He has a beautiful home three miles from Memphis, and a fine plantation in the Mississippi bottom, sixteen miles south of Memphis. He is well known in Middle and West Tennessee. notonfag

Monroe Camp, No. 574, U. C. V., Arkadelphia, Ark., weary with the burden of seventy six years, folded his tired hands and fell asleep. Born in South Carolina in 1835, he went with his parents to Arkansas at an early age. In 1853 he began life for himself in a printing office at Camden, Ark., where he remained until the spring of 1862, when he enlisted as a private in the Memphis Appeal Battery, C. S. A. He was soon placed in charge of a three inch rifle detachment, and was in the battles of Iuka, Corinth, and at Hatchie Bridge, at which  latter place he was wounded, losing part of his right hand. He, however, continued with his command until after the siege of Vicksburg, where he was paroled. He went back to Arkansas, and as soon as he was exchanged he was assigned to duty in the commissary department, where he remained until the end of the war. He was ever a brave and faithful soldier, never shirking, but always ready whenever and wherever duty called. In 1868 he moved to Arkadelphia, Ark., and established the Southern Standard, and week after week he served his patrons with the fidelity that characterized his whole life. Day after day he met and accepted the responsibilities of life and discharged each duty faithfully to the day he "wrapped the drapery of his couch about him and lay down to pleasant dreams."

Clayton, Powell, General/Governor-Born:1833 Died:1914-page 227-Confederate Veteran August 1895. GEN. POWELL CLAYTON, OF ARKANSAS. Gen. John M. Harrell writes from Hot Spring's: "An ancient (sacred) proverb declares that 'A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.' When we consider the place, the occasion, and those to whom addressed, the speech of Gen. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, addressed to the Twentyeighth Wisconsin (Federal) regiment, at Oconomowac, in June last, commands attention from Confederate veterans. In politics, after the war, Clayton was bitter and cruel to his opponents, but he was a vigorous and brave commander in war. The brigade to which I belonged (Cabell's), and which I commanded later, fought Clayton at Pine Bluff, under Gen. John S. Marmaduke. Clayton fortified against us and repulsed us there. But in political discussion, when he was in his last political death struggle, he was always graceful in his reference to the Confederate soldiers. He indulged in a witty sarcasm in 1872, in his criticism ' of the  tenth" plank of the Greely platform, which the Democracy had adopted, and which expressed 'gratitude to the Union soldiers and sailors.' He said that after the gallant struggle we had made for four years, it was 'magnanimous in the Confederates to thank those who had thrashed them.' Please put in the VETERAN these things Clayton said to the Twenty eighth Wisconsin at the reunion at Oconomowac. They are creditable to him and to any Union soldier who has the courage to express them, particularly under such circumstances.'My comrades, although we were actors in that great drama which attracted the attention of the world for four long years, a drama replete with the highest human sentiments, full of the most touching pathos, and marked at frequent intervals by the most bloody and appalling prejudice, although our acts were looked upon by the wondering world, we come not here tonight in any spirit of idle boasting. 'Nor do we come here in any spirit of condemnation against those who were arrayed against us in that great struggle. Four years of war and thirty years of peace have cooled our heated passion and brought with them the calmer judgments of riper years. We can now, with  unprejudiced eyes, look from the Confederate standpoint as well as our own. We can now make due allowance for all the circumstances and conditions that surrounded him, for the deepseated conviction that he drank in with his mother's milk. Per Wikipedia: Ninth Governor (1868–1871) Powell Clayton, a Union general who settled in Arkansas following the Civil War, played a prominent role as a Republican politician in the Reconstruction that followed that conflict. He became the first governor after the state’s readmission in the Union and pursued social, economic, and political policies typical of Republican regimes elsewhere in the South. He subsequently became an important figure in that party’s national politics until the time of his death. As in other Southern states, the Republican Party in Arkansas quickly splintered in the face of serious opposition from conservatives, dividing along ideological and personal lines. Clayton and his faction, known locally as the “Minstrels,” came to dominate the party organization, securing recognition of the national Republican organization and commanding the federal patronage in the state. His position earned Clayton few friends within the state Republican Party, and he faced repeated challenges to his leadership. By 1868, Joseph Brooks, who had been instrumental in the formation of the Arkansas Republican Party in 1867, had broken with Clayton and led another faction given the nickname “Brindletails.” Brooks’s opposition to Clayton developed partly because of Clayton’s increasingly moderate stance toward ex-Confederates and also because of his displacement of Brooks as party leader. Additional opposition emerged in 1869 when a faction led byLieutenant Governor James M. Johnson charged the governor with corruption in the issuing of railroad bonds and a misuse of power his attempts to suppress violence. Johnson’s backers, mostly white Republicans from northwestern Arkansas, proclaimed themselves to be supporters of reform and called themselves Liberal Republicans. Strife among these various factions dominated Clayton’s years in office. The Brindletails managed to impeach Clayton in 1871. Clayton withstood the challenge, and the legislature never heard the case against the governor. In January 1871, the legislature elected him to the United States Senate, setting off one of the many controversies associated with Clayton’s administration. If he took the seat, his lieutenant governor and political opponent James Johnson would have succeeded him. As a result, he refused the seat, then negotiated Johnson’s appointment as secretary of state and replacement as lieutenant governor by Ozro Hadley. In March, the legislature again elected Clayton, and he moved on to the Senate, where he remained until March 1877, when the legislature, now dominated by Democrats, elected one of their own to his seat. After his defeat for reelection, Clayton returned to Little Rock, where he practiced law and supported general economic development. In 1882, he moved to Eureka Springs (Carroll County), where he speculated in land as the president of the Eureka Springs Improvement Company, which encouraged the construction of a railroad to the city and the building of the Crescent Hotel. He also participated in the construction of the town’s street railway. As head of the city board, he successfully developed the sewer and water system. Even though he did not actively pursue public office after his time in the Senate, Clayton remained the leader of the state Republican Party until his death. He was part of the state’s delegation to every Republican National Convention from 1872 to 1896. In 1896, he took an active role in William McKinley’s presidential campaign. After he was elected, McKinley rewarded Clayton by appointing him the United States’ minister to Mexico in 1897. McKinley named him the first ambassador to Mexico in 1899 when that post was raised to an embassy post, and Clayton continued to hold this office under McKinley’s successor, Theodore Roosevelt. He resigned for personal reasons in 1905. When he retired from the Mexican embassy, Clayton became a resident of Washington DC, although he maintained various business enterprises in Arkansas and continued to be a major power within the local Republican Party. He died in Washington DC on August 25, 1914, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Notonfag- Clayton was born in Bethel Township, Pennsylvania, on August 7, 1833, to John Clayton, a carpenter who kept an orchard, and Ann Clarke Clayton. Clayton attended local public schools and the Partridge Military Academy in Bristol, Pennsylvania. As a young adult, he studied civil engineering in Wilmington, Delaware, then moved to Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1855 to work as a surveyor. He also speculated in land in Kansas. Clayton’s family engaged in Whig politics in Pennsylvania, then shifted to the Republican Party in the 1850s. He first entered politics in 1860 when he ran successfully for city engineer in Leavenworth. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Clayton joined the Union army in May 1861 and was elected captain of Company E, First Kansas Infantry. Clayton showed early evidence of his abilities as a leader when his unit saw action in support of Totten’s Battery in the Battle of Wilson’s Creek, Missouri, in August 1861. The unit suffered severe casualties, and his company lost forty-nine of its seventy-four men. Clayton received a citation for his leadership in the battle. In February 1862, he received a commission as lieutenant colonel of the Fifth Kansas Cavalry, after having acted in that capacity since the previous December. A month later, he was promoted to colonel of the regiment. The Fifth Kansas moved to Arkansas later in 1862 and was stationed at Helena (Phillips County). It fought guerillas outside of Helena and carried out at least one significant raid up the St. Francis River in March 1863. At the Battle of Helena on July 4, 1863, Clayton commanded the cavalry brigade on the right flank of the Union forces and received additional commendations for his performance. In August and September, the regiment accompanied General Frederick Steele’s force in his campaign against Little Rock (Pulaski County). In October 1863, Steele named him to command the post at Pine Bluff (Jefferson County). On October 25, 1863, a Confederate force under General John S. Marmaduke attacked the city. With his forces badly outnumbered, Clayton effectively used freedmen to build barricades in the streets and put out fires started by the attackers to block the assault. He remained at this post through the rest of the war and led numerous expeditions into the surrounding countryside, including ones in the spring of 1864 in support of Steele’s Camden Expedition. He received a promotion to brigadier general on August 1, 1864. When mustered out of the service in August 1865, he commanded the cavalry division of the Seventh Army Corps. Clayton leased a captured plantation in Pine Bluff from the Treasury Department during the war and made enough money for him and his brothers to purchase a plantation near Pine Bluff in the last year of the war. They settled there at the war’s end. He continued to operate the plantation, although usually absent from it, for the rest of his life and ultimately accumulated 40,000 acres of land. On December 14, 1865, he married Adaline McGraw of Helena. The couple had three daughters and two sons, although one of the sons died in infancy. In 1867, with the beginning of Congressional Reconstruction, Clayton participated in the formation of the state Republican Party. He attributed his decision to enter Arkansas politics in part to confrontations with ex-Rebels on his plantation that convinced him that Unionists needed greater protection. He quickly emerged as a leader of that party, serving as a delegate to the party’s state convention in April 1867. That convention already evidenced divisions within the fledgling party when Clayton, an outsider, faced James M. Johnson, a native Arkansan, for the party’s nomination. Clayton received the nomination, was elected, and was inaugurated governor on July 2, 1868. As governor, Clayton faced strident opposition from the state’s conservative political leaders who labeled him a “Radical Republican,” along with a serious outbreak of violence, aimed at African Americans and members of the Republican Party, led by the Ku Klux Klan during the presidential election in the fall of 1868. In this period, one Republican congressman was assassinated, and Clayton himself survived an attempt on his life. The governor responded to the emergence of the Klan more decisively than did the governors of most Southern states. He organized the state militia and used it throughout the state to suppress violence. His declarations of martial law in fourteen counties in 1868, despite conservative criticism to his actions, successfully ended Klan activities within the state early in his administration. Clayton and the Republicans in the legislature accomplished much during the governor’s three-year administration. State bonds financed the construction of several railroads. Arkansas created its first free public school system. The administration and its supporters also formed the Arkansas Industrial University, the basis for the future University of Arkansas (UA) inFayetteville (Washington County). What would become the Arkansas School for the Deaf was established, and the Arkansas School for the Blind was relocated from Arkadelphia (Clark County) to Little Rock (Pulaski County).

A., Born In County of Cork, Ireland, March 17, 1828, Killed at the Battle of Franklin, Tenn., November, 1864. On the north side the word "Chickamauga" and the Confederate seal, and the following words from the poem of Mrs. Virginia Frazer Boyle: A rift of light/Revealed the horse and rider, then the scene was dim,/But on the Inner works the death hall/Rang in Cleburne's ears a battle hymn.-On the east side was the sunburst and the legend " Franklin." On the side facing the south was the harp of Erin entwined with the shamrock, below which was the stanza, " Memory ne'er will cease to cherish deeds of glory thou hast won." After appropriately decorating the graves, Confederate and others, the spectators departed for the outgoing trains and boats, which bore away the various crowds who joined in commemorating and honoring the noble Confederate of rank and file.-on FAG-Tstone/Monument- Civil War Confederate Major General. The most popular Confederate division commander, he was known as the "Stonewall of the West." He was born in County Cork, Ireland, appropriately on St. Patrick's Day. A naturalized American citizen and an adopted Arkansan, he grew up in Ireland, where his father was a well known doctor in the county. He was taught at home where he received an Episcopal church education. He apprenticed himself to a pharmacist to prepare for a medical career. He later failed the examinations and shamefully joined Her Majesty's 41st Regiment of Foot. After serving 3 years with the unit he purchased his discharge and emigrated to the United States in 1849. He worked as a pharmacist in Cincinnati, Ohio, then moved to Helena, Arkansas, where he became a partner in a drugstore. At the urging of friends he studied law and became a wealthy lawyer. In 1861 he enlisted as a Private in a company being raised for the 15th Arkansas. He was elected Captain by the unit, which began his meteoric military career that won him praise as one of the South's best infantry commanders. He was soon made Colonel of the regiment and under Major General William J. Hardee spent the fall and winter of 1861 in the vicnity of Bowling Green, Kentucky. His British military training, discipline, and charm earned him the loyalty of his men, Hardee's friendship, and a temporary brigade command. On March 4, 1862, his temporary brigade command became permanent when he received a commission to the rank of Brigadier General. The next month he was engaged in his first battle, at Shiloh, where he fought in the advance on the far left of the Confederate line. After an initial repulse, he rallied the brigade and shoved the Federals through their camps to the Tennessee River. Though the fighting had reduced his command to less than a thousand men, on the next day he personally stemmed a Confederate rout, led a counterattack, then fought rearguard action while the majority of the army retreated. He was rewarded for his performance with lavish praise, and increased command authority. In August, at the Battle of Richmond, Kentucky, he oversaw 2 brigades. However, while readying his men for the second day's fight, he was shot in the left cheek, the bullet carrying away several teeth. Unable to speak, he relinquished his command. The Confederate Congress rewarded him with a vote of appreciation and on December 13, 1862, a promotion to Major General. He commanded a division at Murfreesboro, during the Tullahoma Campaign, and at Chickamauga. A favorite of Jefferson Davis, he is credited with covering the retreat from Chattanooga after his splendid defense of Tunnel Hill. That winter he and William H. T. Walker proposed that in order to reinforce the Confederate armies slavery would have to be abolished in a "reasonable time" and blacks be recruited for military service on the promise of their freedom. The proposal was rejected by the Richmond authorities and would not be passed by the Confederate Congress until a couple of months after his death. The proposal also blocked his promotion to Lieutenant General. He went on to command his division, and briefly the corps, through the Atlanta Campaign. Under General John B. Hood at the Battle of Franklin, on November 30th, his division headed the charge on the Federal entrenchments. After having two horses killed under him, with his kepi on his sword, he led his men forward on foot until he was shot and killed 50 yards from the Union lines. His death was mourned throughout the Confederacy and his men grieved over his death for months. He was the senior of six generals to die during the Battle of Franklin. (bio by:  Ugaalltheway) -Text: Vol. 17, 1909-History demonstrates the fact that in every fight in which he engages an Irishman is pretty sure to be in the front ranks. This fact is well exemplified in the story of the life and deeds of Pat Cleburne as told by Captain Buck in his excellent book, "Cleburne and His Command." Patrick Ronayne Cleburne was the third child of Joseph and Mary Anne Cleburne, and was born ten miles from the city of Cork in March, 1828. His father, Joseph Cleburne, was a physician of much eminence, a graduate of the Royal College of Surgery in Dublin.  Mary Anne Cleburne, his mother, was a daughter of Patrick Ronayne, of Annebrook, so that on both sides Patrick Cleburne was descended from the best old stock of Ireland. His having been born on St. Patrick's Day gave him his name. Pat Cleburne had a tutor till he was twelve, then was sent to school. He was fond of literature, history, and travels, but in some way failed to acquire any taste for Latin or Greek. He desired to follow his father in the profession of medicine, and as a stepping stone to this apprenticed himself to a druggist preparatory to standing a medical examination. Had chemical tastes or pharmaceutical knowledge been the only requirements for the diploma he wished, Gen. Pat Cleburne would have been a doctor and never attained his great celebrity in the profession of arms. In his examinations his Greek and Latin were so faulty that he failed to pass. This seemed such a disgrace to the high spirited boy that he determined his family should never know of his humiliation. So he immediately enlisted in the 41st Regiment of Infantry (Dublin) which he supposed was under marching orders for India. For a year none of his family heard from him at all, then only through the son of a neighbor whose regiment was quartered near the 41st. Cleburne served three years with this regiment, then quit the army, and with one brother and sister emigrated to America. He brought letters of introduction to New Orleans, but, acting upon his life long principle that every man should depend upon himself, he went to Cincinnati, where he had a position in a drug store, later moving to Helena, Ark., where he took his degree as a lawyer. He remained here till the beginning of the war, when he volunteered as a private in the Yell Rifles. As a citizen of Helena Cleburne won distinction, for he was scrupulously honest, enterprising, and public spirited. At no time in his life did he display more heroism than when in 1855 Helena was stricken with yellow fever and the public in a panic fled in every direction. Cleburne remained in the plague tortured city, and went daily his rounds among the fever patients, nursing them and helping to bury the dead. Personally Cleburne was of striking appearance. He was six feet in height, spare in build, and with broad shoulders and erect carriage. In his large gray eyes was ever seen the twinkle of humor, save when they grew black in the face of danger or in the smoke of battle. He was a man of great endurance and unswerving tenacity of purpose, but in society he was awkward and embarrassed, and he was very sensitive to the opinion of others. He was not a good conversationalist save in the presence of intimate friends, when his fluent language and vivid imagery held all spellbound. He was dreamy and absent minded save in the presence of need or in defying circumstances, then he was indeed tireless and sleepless, for the earnestness of the occasion obliterated all thought of self and concentrated his energies, showing the true nobility of his nature. The predominant trait in his life was courage, as one of his strongest characteristics was the sense of justice. An incident which occurred in the first days of the war influenced his life to the end. He was holding some prisoners in a house in Greenville, Miss. Among these prisoners was a citizen who was the victim of somnambulism. Walking in his sleep, this man made his way to Cleburne's room and assaulted the sentry. Cleburne, hearing the noise and thinking it an attack of the enemy, sprang to his feet and with his revolver shot the man, mortally wounding him. Cleburne was entirely exculpated for this act, but all his life was tinged with the melancholy of remorse.- Text: BURIAL PLACES OF CONFEDERATE GENERALS. John H. Hinemon, President of Henderson College, Arkadelphia. Ark., writes that the burial places of Confederate Maj. Gens. Thomas C. Hindman and Patrick R. Cleburne, devoted friends and distinguished generals from Arkansas, are in the city of Helena, where they resided prior to the war. Brigadier General Tappan is also buried at Helena, Ark. Professor Hinemon writes also that Judge John Alien, a loyal Southerner, who resides at De Witt, Ark., has presented a complete set of bound volumes of the CONFEDERATE VETERAN to the library of Henderson College, and adds: "No gift has ever been made to the college library that is more highly prized than this splendid collection of sketches of Southern history."-Page 506  Confederate Veteran November 1910

He was orderly sergeant of the barracks. At the time I was called out I was treasurer of the ‘Seven Confederate Knights’ (C7K) and had about seventy five cents, which I hurriedly turned over to some brother in Barrack 7 or 9. I had been captured on Dec.29,1864, at what Comrade J.W.Minnich calls the Mossy Creek Station battle in East Tennessee; was kept at the Knoxivlle jail for ten days, in the Nashville pen for three days, Louiville three days, then on to Rock Island about the 20th of Jan.,1864. I belonged to Co.C-3rd Ark.Cavalry, and served under Generals Price and Van Dorn, and after he was killed I served under Forrest until after the battle of Chickamauga; then with Gen.Wheeler until captured. As it has been over 52 years since I left prison, I should be glad to hear from some of the boys who were at Rock Island Prison.

When the 4th Regiment was stationed at Columbus, Ky., Coffey was standing guard by an open field, in which the regiment was being drilled. Orders were to allow no one to pass out the lines without a permit from Gen.A.S.Johnston, who had lately arrived and assumed command at Columbus. About fifty soldiers had crowded near the guard, looking at the drilling regiment, when Gen.Johnston rode up with his orderly close behind. ‘Halt!’ Coffey commanded the General. The order at once was obeyed. Gen.Johnston took off his cap, and holding it in one hand, said: ‘Does any one here know me?’ One of the boys blurted out: ‘It’s Gen.Johnston.’ ‘Excuse me, General, I-I-I beg your pardon.’ Said Coffey, manifestly frightened.  “All right, my man.’ Was replied. ‘You have done your duty.’ Then came the Rebel yell.”-on FAG-Goodspeed’s Biography: Judge W.H.Coffey, an eminent lawyer of St.Francis County, widely known and highly esteemed by his associates on the bench, is originally of Fayette Co., Tenn, but was taken by his parents when an infant, to DeSoto, County, Mississippi, in which state his father died two years later. His mother then returned to her father's home in Hardeman County, Tenn., and afterward married John Coates, of that county.

Coleman, W. O., Colonel-Text: p.212  Confederate Veteran May 1909.-VALIANT COLEMAN, VETERAN OF TWO WARS. Col. W. O. Coleman, who was a distinguished Confederate soldier, is now living at Brownsville, Tex., at the ripe old age of seventy two. He went to Brownsville in 1905, and was the first land agent to open business in the historic city, and by application to business and energy has amassed a comfortable fortune. Colonel Coleman was born January 12, 1837, in New York City. His mother was one of the Virginia Maurys, a cousin of Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury. When the Mexican War commenced, W. 0. Coleman was only in his tenth year, but this tender age did not prevent his aspirations to be a soldier. He ran away from home, going with a lot of Virginia troops from Norfolk, and joined General Scott's army. The lad hid in the hold of the vessel until well out to sea, and thus succeeded in getting to Vera Cruz. Upon arrival there he got with the 2d Mississippi Volunteers, and stayed with them until they entered the City of Mexico. He was in the battles of Puebla, Churubusco, and other important fights with the Mexicans. He was wounded in the leg at Churubusco. In 1853 he joined the Quitman filibustering expedition to Cuba, and after many thrilling experiences and enduring many hardships, such as working on a sugar plantation, he, with some other boys, was sent back to New Orleans. In 1855 he went to Kansas Territory, and was with Major Bell, of South Carolina, in many scouts, skirmishes, and encounters that occurred in that territory. He was in one of the fights against John Brown's forces, and at Wakarusha Creek saw one of John Brown's sons killed as he was leading a charge across the bridge. When the Civil War broke out he was a resident of Missouri. Upon Lyon and Sigel's invasion of the State he was the first to raise a company in defense thereof. This was in June, 1861. His company was in the battles of Dug Springs, Wilson Creek, Oak Hill, Drywood, and Lexington, Mo. In 1862 he raised the 4th Missouri Cavalry and became its colonel. In many hard fought battles in Missouri and Arkansas he was at the front. He led his regiment in the battles of South Fork, West Plains, Lick Settlement, Little Piney, Ramsey's Ferry, and Hartsville, Mo. In the beginning of 1863 he was put under arrest by Generals McBride and Holmes for refusing to move his regiment out of Missouri and the command was taken away from him. Then he raised a battalion of men and began a guerrilla war, and by his bold raids was a constant terror to the enemy. He also cooperated with Quantrell's forces during this year against Kansas troops. He also assisted in organizing Freeman's, Burbridge Campbell's, and Green's Regiments. Early in 1864 Colonel Coleman was relieved of the arrest under which he had been laboring by Gen. E. Kirby Smith, and was assigned to duty with General Sheilby. Under Kirby Smith's direction Colonel Coleman organized the 46th Arkansas Mounted Infantry and reorganized the old 4th Missouri Cavalry, and. was in. the battle near Lone Oak, Ark., in which his regiment captured Mitchell's Volunteer Regiment. Two days after this in a battle at Hazen, Ark., his regiment captured two hundred head of cavalry horses, and ran them through the Federal lines of two regiments of infantry and cavalry without the loss of a man. General Shelby then sent the Colonel to Missouri to organize more troops, which he did, and reported to General Price. Colonel Coleman and his command were in the battles of Iron Mountain, Potosi, Franklin, Jefferson City, and Glasgow all in Missouri. At Glasgow Colonel Coleman with his command captured the fort, which was well manned, before the other Confederate troops arrived. Then followed the battles of Independence, Westport, Merridazine, and Newtonia, all in Missouri, in which Colonel Coleman bore a conspicuous part.  In 1865 he and his command still remained in Missouri and Arkansas, being part of Shelby's Division of Price's army, until the surrender came. Colonel Coleman boasts that he never did surrender, and he is proud of his record as a Confederate soldier. He has always a hearty handshake for the Union soldier whenever he meets him if he is a square, honest man. Colonel Coleman is a member of the celebrated Dick Dowling Camp at Houston, Tex. He lives a quiet but busy life at Brownsville, and is a substantial, trusted citizen. His experiences in detail would make a large book and read more like fiction than fact. Colonel Coleman has two daughters. The older is Mrs. George B. Poole, of Walnut Hills, Cincinnati. This daughter and her mother were taken prisoners in 1862 by the Federals, sent to Rolla, Mo., and guarded by four Federal soldiers night and day. The mother was allowed to go anywhere, but the infant daughter, six weeks old, was held in the hope that they would capture the father in his efforts to see the babe. Colonel Coleman at this time was capturing and destroying many of the enemy's wagon trains. After six weeks the mother and child were released. The second daughter, Miss Scottie May Coleman, lives at Cheneyville, La., with relatives. There is one incident we have omitted to relate. In 1861 the Federal army was camped near Fort Scott, Kans. Colonel Coleman with his command was sent on a scouting expedition, in which he and two men got ahead of their troops and found about two hundred head of mules belonging to the enemy,-(p.213  Confederate Veteran May 1909) camped near Fort Scott. They opened fire on the guards and stampeded the mules, and before the Federals could take any action they had the mules going straight for the Confederate camp, about twelve miles distant, where they succeeded in taking them. The Colonel could give the VETERAN many scenes and incidents of the war, thrilling experiences and adventures which have never been written, and it is hoped that he will find the leisure and inclination to do so.

Died:Sep.24,1903 Little Rock, Ark.Buried in Oakland Cemetery, Little Rock, Ark.--Service Unit:1st Ark.Inf, Capt.Jackson's Co., 2nd Lt, Major, Colonel-Confederate Veteran:v.13, p.240 & i-Text: In the death of Col.John W.Colquitt, of Little Rock, Ark., there passed from the scene of action one who had been closely identified with public affairs of the city and State, a gallant gentleman whom to know was to adminre. He was born in Columbus, Ga., in 1840, attended the Military Institute at Marietta, graduating in 1859, and moved to Arkansas in 1860, locating near Monticello. In April 1861, he enlisted in Capt. Jackson’s Company, 1st Ark. Infantry, was chosen second lieutenant, and served twelve months in the Army of Northern Virginia. After this regiment was disbanded, and upon reorganization John W.Colquitt was elected Major of the regiment. This was just prior to the battle of Shiloh, in which Major Colquitt received a severe wound, and while on the way to his Georgia home on furlough, he was captured by the Federals and held for two weeks. He made his escape, and got home safely. After reporting for duty again, he was promoted to Colonel of the regiment upon the resignation of Col. James A. Fagan. Col. Colquitt lost his right leg in the battle of Atlanta; but after two months he reported to headquarters, and was assigned to post duty in the subdepartment of North Mississippi. He made his headquarters at West Point till the war closed, then returned to Monticello, Ark. In 1866 he was elected county and probate judge; but after about eighteen months’ service he was swept out of office, during the days of reconstruction, and became a teacher. In 1890, he was elected tax assessor of Pulaski County, and in 1899 State and Land Commissioner, being reelected in 1901. After his retirement from public office, he had engaged in the real estate business. Col. Colquitt was twice married, the second time to Mollie Hudner of Drew county, who survives him with two daughters. His last wish was to be buried in his suit of Confederate gray; and shrouded in that beloved color his form now rests in the City Cemetery, awaiting resurrection with comrades who had so long preceded him. No man felt keener interest in the welfare of comrades during and since the war. He was so anxious and concerned that he attended every Confederate reunion or assemblage or convention that he could, though often physically in such condition that it was indiscreet for him to do so. He went to the last annual reunion at Nashville, but was too infirm to remain. The Bivouac attended the funeral in a body, together with a multitude of friends 
Convention: Arkansas, Newport:p.29 Confederate Veteran January 1903.-ARKANSAS DIVISION, U. D. C.-The seventh annual convention, Arkansas Division, U. D. C., held at Newport, Ark., October 22, 1902, is reported by Mrs. C. H. Williams, Recording Secretary. It is in substance as follows: Our little Arkansas town, Newport, welcomed within her gates charming guests in the Daughters of the Confederacy on October 22. They came from every part of the State, and there were in attendance eighteen Chapters, representing forty nine votes accepted, the largest convention ever held by this Division. We hope another year that no Chapter will fail to be represented in either State or general convention. The convention was called to order in the court room, which had been magnificently decorated for the occasion in red and white bunting, flowers, and Confederate flags. One of these was the flag presented by some of the ladies present to the Jackson Guards when they left early for the great conflict. This old flag brought back to these dear women the faces of their soldier boys as they left that day. As brave now as then, they smiled to think how their dear flag had been proudly taken off and, though furled when it was tenderly carried back home, it came without a blot upon its honor. The local Methodist minister, Rev. J. W. Smith, invoked God's blessing on the assembly. Mrs. C. H.  Wilmans delivered the address of welcome, responded to by Mrs. Clementine Boles, of Fayetteville, in her witty and pleasant style. The President, Mrs. B. E. Benton, then gave her annual address, which was most heartily received and enjoyed. Beautiful music was rendered by Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse and her able assistants. Each session was a treat to all present. On the evening of the first day a large reception was given. Hon. Charles Coffin presided, introducing the speakers in his own bright and graceful way. The exercises were opened by the bugle call on the cornet, answered by the old veterans, who marched upon the rostrum and stood in a row, "looking like a lot of happy, mischievous schoolboys. They sang "Dixie" as only old veterans can. Mrs. W. M. Neal, of Helena, President of the State Federation of Clubs, gave the U. D. C. a fraternal greeting from the Federation. Mrs. Keller, of Hot Springs, on behalf of the U. D, C., responded to Mrs. Neal's address with thanks and appreciation for Mrs. Neal's goodness in coming to extend such kindly thoughts to this organization, at the same time expressing disapproval of any Chapter of the U. D. C. ever federating. Mrs. R. B. Willis, of Searcy, gave a fine address on "Southern Literature," which was considered so worthy of wider notice that the convention requested that it be sent to the VETERAN for publication, which will be done. Miss Esther Neill, of Batesville, a gifted daughter of Gen. Robert Neill, read Father Ryan's "Conquered Banner," which was received with enthusiasm. Maj. Cabell Minor, recently returned home from the Philippines, gave a Negro dialect story, which "brought down the house." There were many other interesting features, especially fine music. The evening closed with an informal reception where dainty refreshments were served to the old soldiers and other guests. On Thursday evening, at the home of the Misses Brandenburg, the young ladies' clubs received the delegates, visitors, and members of the local Chapter, The rooms were beautifully decorated in red and white, the color scheme being carried out in refreshments, and in every possible way this perfectly arranged function was conceded to be the crowning event of the week. Friday noon saw the convention's close. The election of officers was as follows: President, Mrs. B. E. Benton, Pine Bluff, Vice Presidents, Mrs. S. S. Wassell, Little Rock, Mrs. Mary Hunter Hall, Dardanelle, Recording Secretary, Mrs. C. H. Wilmans, Newport, Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Fay Tullis, Nashville, Treasurer, Miss Lela Gatewood, Lonoke. The convention accepted the invitation of Mrs. J. M. Keller to come to her interesting city, Hot Springs, next year. Friday afternoon the visitors were taken for a drive along the banks of the beautiful White River and up to the old, historic, deserted village of Jacksonport. At night the guests were given a theater party, thus ending one of the most pleasant weeks in the history of Newport.

Cook, Barnett Manley-Born:Sep.18,1846 Graves Co.,. Ky. Died:Oct.18,1911 Elmo, Independence Co., Ark. Buried: Oaklawn Cemetery, Batesville, Ark.--Service Unit:12th Kentucky Cavalry-Confederate Veteran:v.20, p. 81-Text:Barnett M. Cook entered the Confederate army Apr.20,1864, when in his eighteenth year, in Co.G, 12th Kentucky Cavalry, Forrest’s Corps (composed of Graves and Calloway Co. men), commanded by the ever gallant Capt. James F. Melton, now deceased. In the fighting on Jul.14,1864, in front of Harrisburg, Miss., Barnett M. Cook was one of the one hundred and fifty skirmishers covering the front of the Kentucky brigade and participating in the famous charge of that brigade on that fatal day. These skirmishers were commanded by the redoubtable Irish captain, J. J. Kelleher, of Co.H. (Killed at Duck River on Hood’s retreat from Nashville), and Lieut. William J. Mathis, of Co.G., same regiment. They attained the nearest proximity to the Federal breastworks of any of the Confederate troops, but lost more than fifty percent of their number. Barnett M. Cook was a soldier wholly without vendition, and did his full duty on all occasions and with an alacrity characteristic of the gallant men of that company and regiment, and he still lives in the memory and the hearts of his surviving comrades. His parole, dated May 16,1865, which he kept inviolate, attested his adherence to the waning cause of the Confederacy. He was born at Boydsville, Graves Co., Ky., Sep.18,1846; and died at Elmo, Independence Co., Ark., Oct.18,1911, of complications super induced by a stroke of paralysis. He was a faithful soldier of the cross, of the Baptist persuasion, and an active Mason.-on FAG-Tstone/ Barnett Manley Cook was born 18 Sep 1846 in Boydsville, graves Co., KY.

Cook, Virgil Young, Colonel-Text:Vol.30,1922- COL. V. Y. COOK—IN MEMORIAM. Born:Nov.14,1848 Boydsville, Ky. Died:Mar.12,1922 Batesville, Ark. Buried: Oaklawn Cemetery, Batesville, Ark.--"God's finger touched him and he slept." At Batesville, Ark., on Sunday, March 12, Col. V. Y. Cook answered to the last roll call and joined his comrades on the eternal camping ground. In the death of Colonel Cook, the VETERAN has lost a devoted friend and wise counselor, the Confederate organization has lost one of its most active and loyal members, while his family and countless friends are bereft of that ready sympathy and spirit of helpfulness which ever animated his being. Among the youngest of our veterans, he answered the sudden summons in possession of that vigor and force which had made his life one of purpose and usefulness. A close friend of the VETERAN' Slate editor, he was chairman of the board of trust appointed to carry on the publication, and had given a cheerful and helpful service, ever ready to respond to any demands that affected its interest. Virgil Young Cook was born at Boydsville, Graves County, Ky., and as a very young boy he entered the Confederate army. His home was within the Federal lines, and early in 1863 he ran away and tried to join a company of Kentucky troops. But his father went after the would-be soldier and took him back home. However, in July of that year he yielded to the boy's persistency and consented to his joining the army, so Virgil Cook was mustered into the ranks of Company E, 12th Kentucky Cavalry, later being transferred to Company H, 7th Kentucky Mounted Infantry, with which he served to the close of the war. Both these commands were under Gen. N. B. Forrest, and he was paroled with other soldiers of the famous leader at Gainesville, Ala., in May, 1865, when not more than sixteen and a half years of age. Late in 1866 young Cook left his native Kentucky and went to Arkansas, where he engaged in merchandising, in Jackson County, until 1874, when he removed to Olyphant and there conducted a large and lucrative business. During that time he began his accumulation of real estate in Oil Trough Bottom, on the Upper White River, in Independence County, and by 1884 his holdings had become so large that he moved onto these lands, taking his mercantile business with him to Elmo. Near there was his residence, "Midland Holm," a country site of 5,000 acres. In 1908 he removed to Batesville and built the handsome residence where he lived to the end. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Ophelia Lamb, of Jacksonport, Ark., to whom he was married in 1871, and who died in 1916. Two sons and four daughters were born to them, of whom three daughters survive. His second marriage was to Mrs. Sarah Wyse, of Forrest City, in April, 1920, and she also survives him. His service for the Confederacy was not the only experience of Colonel Cook as a soldier, At the beginning of our war with Spain, he was a major general of the Arkansas National Guard and reserve militia, and when that State was called upon for its quota of troops, he was appointed by Governor Jones as colonel of the 2nd Arkansas Regiment, the highest office within his gift; and though this regiment did not have an opportunity to show its mettle in that war, its colonel won distinction for bringing it to such a high state of efficiency while held in camp at Chickamauga. Ever loyal to the cause for which he had fought in the days of his youth, Colonel Cook was doubtless the most liberal man of his State in giving his time and thought and means to keep up interest in Confederate history and memories. He was a student and writer of that history, and contributed many articles on his experiences and the service of his own and other commands. While adjutant general on the staff of Gen. Robert G. Shaver, commanding the Arkansas Division U. C. V., he vigorously pushed the organization of Camps all over the State, and continued those efforts after he became commander of that division, later still extending those efforts throughout the Trans-Mississippi Department, which he commanded three years, retiring voluntarily at the Chattanooga reunion in 1921. He had also commanded the Trans-Mississippi Department of the Forrest Cavalry Association. Always a liberal supporter of the Churches, in late years he experienced deep religious conviction and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at Batesville, of which he was a consistent member and a regular attendant on its services to the end. Confederate comrades were the honorary pall bearers at his funeral, and, with many relatives and friends, laid him to rest in Oaklawn Cemetery at Batesville, there to await the reveille which shall awake him to the glories of the kingdom.-on FAG:Picture/Tstone-Parents:William Ditterline Cook (1815 - 1882)  Pernecia Dodds Cook (1819 - 1889) Children:Neva Cook Butler (1872 - 1903)* Virgil Whitfield Cook (1874 - 1892)* Bertha May Cook Morrow (1876 - 1964)* Jennie Cook Rutherford (1878 - 1961)* Spouse:Mildred Ophelia Lamb Cook (1850 - 1916)

He was born in Mississippi in 1842, but his parents went to Hempstead Co., Ark., the next year, and there he lived and cared for his mother and younger brothers and sisters after the death of his father. In 1864 he went forth to battle for the land he loved, enlisting in Co.G-12th Ark.Regt, Captain Abernathy and Col.E.W.Grant, and took part in many campaigns and hard fought battles, one of which was the siege of Port Hudson. He was captured at Island No.10, on the Mississippi River; again at the siege of Port Hudson. He surrendered at Marshall, Texas.” After he returned home, in 1868, he was married to Miss Josie Williams, daughter of Judge Cokely P.Williams. “It was after the war,” states Captain Smith, “that I first became acquainted with this brave and gallant soldier. We soon became good friends, and until his death we shared each otehrs’s confidence in all relations of life. In the dark days of reconstruction, I saw his courage and good judgement manifested, and again in 1882, in the subduing and bringing to justice of negro rioters in the Howard County riot, in all of which he demonstrated his ability as a commander and leader. We were competitors in business. He was a devoted Church member, a good and affectionate husband and father, and to me a true and tried friend.”-notonfag

He practiced law later in Lake Village, Chicot County, Ark. He returned to his native State and enlisted in the Richmond Howitzers at Yorktown, Va., on December 1, 1861. He was with the company in the siege of Yorktown and at Wynns Mill, also at the battle of Williamsburg, on the Peninsula, where he was taken prisoner. Upon his exchange, and learning that a company of his associates at Lake Village, Ark., had been formed, he joined that company at Tupelo, Miss., and upon a reorganization of the regiment (23d Arkansas) he was elected captain of Company G, which he commanded throughout the Iuka and Corinth campaigns. The remnant of the regiment was sent to garrison Port Hudson, where, after a siege of over two months, it surrendered with the rest of the garrison. He was sent to Johnson's Island Prison, on Lake Erie,-p.129  Confederate Veteran March 1909.-and was confined there for over eighteen months. He was one of the six hundred officers sent to a sand bar in front of the Confederate fortifications at Charleston, S. C., to be exposed to the fire of our batteries in retaliation for an alleged crime of the same character perpetrated by the military authorities at Charleston on six hundred of the Federal prisoners. It is a matter of historic honor that our immortal six hundred remained true to the end under the terrible exposure to shot and shell from the batteries of their comrades. Captain Cracraft was later sent to Fort Delaware and from there exchanged. After the war he returned to his home in Arkansas and engaged in cotton planting, and he accumulated a fine property. He is survived by a devoted wife, one son (named for him) and one daughter, by whom he was idolized as husband and father. He was beloved by all who knew him. He was buried in the Little Rock Confederate cemetery. His pallbearers were Gens. B. W. Green, A. J. Snodgrass, and J. Kellogg, and Capts. William Watkins, James Colton, and C. H.

Zachariah Taylor Cravens, better known to thousands of citizens of Sequoyah Co.,Okla., as "Uncle Zack", died at his home in Sallisaw, Dec.13,1926, after a long illness. He was veteran of the War between the states, a Mason for fifty-seven years, a member of the Methodist Church, and a citizen of the county for thirty nine years, these among the many things that crowded into his life of close to eighty years. He was a friend to the needy and a man who practiced what he preached. Born in the State of Arkansas in Dec.9, 1847, Zachariah was one of the young soldiers of the Confederacy, giving service during the last two years of that bloody conflict. After the war, he went back to Arkansas, but in 1887 he moved his family to the Indian Territory and settled near Sallisaw, Okla. Where the rest of his life was spent. There were no more than a dozen white families in the community at that time, and "Uncle Zack" immediately made friends with the red men. During late years, he spent some time with his sons and daughter in of Muskogee and San Antonio, but always came back to the people he loved at Sallisaw. He was probably the oldest Mason in Sequoyah County, with a membership of fifty-seven years. He was active in the fraternity and attended the lodge meetings regularly, despite his advanced age. After the War between the states, he joined the Ku-Klux Klan, and ever felt glad that he was a member of that great organization which freed the South of renagrade authority. Following the funeral ceremonies at the Presbyterian Church, his body was laid to rest in the Salliswa City cemetery. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and a daughter, also by seventeen grand children.

Crenir, who was born near Buena Vista, Ark., in 1846, died near the place of his birth in April, 1908, of paralysis. In the latter part of 1861 he volunteered in a company organized by Capt, Robert Jordon and was mustered into service in the 15th Arkansas Regiment, commanded by J. M. Gee. In 1862, when General Grant moved on Fort Donelson and the terms of "unconditional surrender" were demanded, Joe Crenir overheard some of Forrest's officers say that the fort was to be surrendered at daybreak and that Forrest and some of his men had threatened to cut their way through the lines. Crenir ran back and tried to persuade some of his company to follow in the track of Forrest's Cavalry, but his comrade, Pleas Cross, was the only one who consented. In the fort were horses and artillery left by General Forrest, and each secured a horse, saddle, and bridle and followed in the recently made tracks of Forrest's horses. They forded one stream and soon came to another and entered into a compact to go one at a time, as the current was dangerous. Cross went first, and his horse sank out of sight, but he made his way over in safety, and was followed by Crenir, both boys afterwards joining the 6th Arkansas Regiment.In Tennessee, after the battle of Murfreesboro, they were ordered to join their old command, the 15th Arkansas, at Port Hudson, where they fought bravely under Col. B. W. Johnson.

He was married in 1873 to Miss Mary B. McCullough, of Georgia, daughter of the late Judge William McCullough, the well known jurist of Rome, Ga., who survives him with seven daughters, only two of whom are unmarried.

Joseph Potts, December 1, 1907, aged seventy six years. All were good soldiers and true Southerners. M. A. Haralson gave a leg to the cause of the South, M. H. Weathers's case was a peculiar one. All his relatives in Arkansas went to the Federals, but he stood firm with his Southern neighbors and friends. Not one of these or their parents owned any negroes. Some of their kinsfolk who owned slaves went North to save them, but lost negroes and honor all the same. Some of these above were poor in this world's goods, but rich in honor, as all Confederates are with few exceptions.

Dawson, Tolliver Bostic-Vol.19,1911-MRS. HELEN V. DAWSON. Mrs Helen V. Dawson was born in Little Rock, Ark., in 1836, and died at her home, in Causey, N. Mex., on May 14, 1911. She left two children, a daughter (Mrs. Mary Frances Hart, who was living with her) and a son (John Bostic Dawson, of Dardanelle, Ark.). Her husband, Tolliver Bostic Dawson, enlisted in the first company of volunteers at Dardanelle, Ark., and was killed at that place in 1864. His brother, Henry Clinton Dawson, enlisted in the same company, and was killed at Oak Hill, Mo., in August, 1861. No soldier in the Confederate army was truer to the cause than was Mrs. Dawson. She went through all the hardships of a soldier's wife, and with her son, Thomas Barclay Moon, then eight years old, toiled by day and far into the night to keep a home and bread for themselves and three younger children while the husband and father was away fighting for their beloved Southland. She was ever ready at the risk of her own safety to help any Confederate soldier who came her way, and now will enjoy the reward that comes to those who were faithful to the end.

Dead:Kentucky, Hopkinsville-There is a most pathetic interest attached to the names sent by Mrs. Blakemore from Hopkinsville. Walking one day with John C. Latham of New York, through a neglected portion of the old cemetery at Hopkinsville, Mr. H. C. Gant pointed out a spot overgrown with weeds and briers, and remarked that it was the last resting place of Confederate soldiers who had died at Hopkinsville during the fall and winter of 1861 62.To a man of Mr. Latham's lofty sentiments and high ideals, himself an ex Confederate soldier, there was something inexpressibly sad in the contemplation of this patch of tangled underbrush where rested the bodies of so many of his comrades. Subsequently, he placed funds at Mr. Grant's disposal for the erection of a monument, with the instruction to exhume all the bodies, place them in neat coffins, and re bury them in a circle around the site of the proposed monument. There was absolutely nothing by which the bones could be identified. The monument was completed May 10, 1888, at a cost of twelve thousand dollars: and after many years an Insignificant looking memorandum hook, which had lain in the dust and debris of an old desk in the bank at Hopkinsville since it was put there in 1861 or 1862, has brought to light the names and records of the Confederate dead, in whose memory the magnificent granite shaft was erected.The dead were buried in rows in the northeast corner of the cemetery. Beginning with Row No. l, the owner of the memorandum book, George C. Anderson, Cotton Gin, Tex., had written legibly in ink the name, rank, and company of each dead soldier, about two hundred and thirty in all. A great many bodies were afterwards exhumed hy relatives, but Mr. Gant and his associates found and re buried the bones of one hundred and one soldiers. Over their dust the Latham Monument stands an enduring tribute to all of valor that cannot die. These men died during an epidemic of black measles in the fall and winter of 1861 62. That their names and records were preserved under the circumstances is an enduring tribute to George ,C. Anderson the owner of the memorandum book. His thought for others should be an example to us all.

Deaths:Arkansas, Pine Bluff: COMRADES OF ARKANSAS. J. Ed Murrey Camp, No. 510 U. C. V., of Pine Bluff, Ark., has cause to lament the deaths of three noble, chivalrous Southern gentlemen and brave Confederate soldiers, who passed away during the months of February and March, each at the age of eighty years. They served long and faithfully, always on the firing line, brave, unyielding, and unconquerable. They were nature's noblemen and, in all the walks of life, among the South's indomnitable fighters and heroes. Maj. John W. Ragland, a hero from Lagrange, Ga., was born in Greenville, Ga., April 26, 1837, and enlisted in the Confederate army at Lagrange, in 1861, Company K, 13th Georgia Regiment. He fought in the Virginia campaigns under Jackson, and was courier and color bearer in many battles, besides serving as a private in the ranks. He was paroled April 10, 1865, and his parole is lovingly cherished by his family. It was signed by Gen. John B. Gordon. Comrade Ragland died February 2, 1922. He had lived in Pine Bluff for a period of forty years, and measured up to the full standard of a noble citizen. His life was one unceasing round of usefulness and goodness, and he proudly bore the grand old name of Southern gentleman and Confederate soldier. Capt. N. T. Roberts, another hero in the Confederate army, was called to his reward in the month of March. Capt. "Terry" Roberts, as he was familiarly known, was over eighty years of age. He served in the Southern army in the Trans-Mississippi Department under Generals Price, Marmaduke, and Joe Shelby and was noted for his bravery and fighting qualities. In recognition of his service, he was a trusted, as well as a skillful and successful, leader of a band of intrepid scouts in all the campaigns of the army. He served in two of Price's raids into Missouri and won the commendations of his superior officers. The most daring and desperate undertakings in those fearful campaigns were assigned to him, and in all engagements, large or small, he acquitted himself with the welcome plaudits of his comrades and the generals in charge. For forty years he was an honored and praiseworthy citizen of Jefferson County and Pine Bluff, and was frequently given recognition by his fellow citizens by being elected to county clerk and circuit clerk. He wore his honors well and proved himself true in all the relations of life. He was a leader in all the progressive features of agriculture, trade, and commerce, as well as a beloved officer and worker in the Methodist Church, South. Comrade J. C. Hierschspiel, of King's Missouri Battery, died during the month of March. He was a brave and true Confederate soldier from first to last. He served in the battle of Corinth and the siege of Vicksburg, and was afterwards in the Trans-Mississippi armies under Generals Price, Marmaduke, Cabell, and Joe Shelby. He was distinguished for his knowledge of artillery service. Brave, vigorous, and intrepid, he always commanded the praises of his superior officers and comrades. After the war he settled in Pine Bluff, Ark. Here he was noted for his characteristics as a loyal soldier of the Southern cause, a true friend, and an upright citizen. "Phil" Hierschspiel, as he was known by his friends and citizens, was a type of sterling manhood and useful worth. [Junius Jordon, Adjutant J. Ed Murrey Camp, No. 510 U. C. V.l

Dodd, David Owen-Born:Nov.10,1846 Lavaca Co., Texas Died:Jan.8,1864 Buried:Mount Holly Cemetery, Little Rock, Ark.-SKETCH OF DAVID OWEN DODD.-The youngest known hero and martyr to courage and honor, who died on the scaffold during the "great war of the States." Mrs. William Kersh, President David O. Dodd Chapter, U. D. C., Pine Bluff, Ark.:Whoever rescues from oblivion the name of a noble character performs a service to humanity. We commend the memory of that youthful martyr and unknown hero, David Owen Dodd, who was hanged January 8, 1864, by the Federal authorities at Little Rock, Ark., during the "great war" of the States. It has ever been woman's pleasure to honor the brave. In doing so the U. D. C. No. 212, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas Division, decided upon the name of that humble, unknown hero, and youthful martyr to honor and courage for their Chapter -viz., "David O. Dodd." Selections from an elaborate sketch published several years ago by Mr. M. C. Morris quite revive that of Sam Davis. David Owen Dodd was a young son of Pine Bluff, Ark., whose parents had refugeed to Texas, and he was sent back to Saline County, Ark., about fifteen miles southwest of Little Rock, Ark., to settle some business matters. Young Dodd procured a pass from Gen. J. F. Fagan, commanding the Confederate Cavalry in that section, to pass the pickets on Saline River. He jocularly told the boy, whom he had known from childhood, that, as he knew the country, he would expect him to find out all about the enemy and report on his return. With an ambition to comply David went into Little Rock, appearing to be in search of business, and during the time informed himself as fully as practicable, mixing much with the Federals. When ready to go, he applied to Gen. Steele, commanding the Federal army, for a pass to go to the country. The pass was procured, and he left the city on the old military road, going southwest. He passed both the infantry and the cavalry pickets, but the pass was taken up according to rule. Unhappily, he afterwards was met by a foraging party of Federals, who examined him and found, secreted in his boots, papers of importance. He was taken to Little Rock, and Gen. Steele had him placed under heavy guard. He was court martialed, charged with being a spy, and declared guilty. The history compares equally with that of Sam Davis. David was offered his life and freedom if he would give the source of his information, but he with unfeigned courage refused to betray the confidence, and suffered death. On the day appointed for his execution there was anguish among the citizens, for they knew the lad and his family. Gen. Steele in person made a plea for him to divulge the traitor in his camp, but David would not. He could not be influenced to accept the many and corrupt offers terrible temptations to put before one so young and so full a life.It is stated that ten thousand soldiers under arms were around the scaffold, many of whom refused to witness the scene, turning their backs to the scaffold: others, who saw the execution, have borne witness to the preserved manly courage and sublimity of the action, by which the promise of life was thrust away, because it involved the sacrifice of personal honor. David's letter to his parents and sisters is truly pathetic:-Confederate Veteran August 1902.p.353-on FAG-Tstone-Picture-Text: Vol.30,p. 477-(Paper prepared and read before the Memorial Chapter U. D. C, of Little Rock, by Mrs. T. J. Gray, Corresponding Secretary.) David Owen Dodd was born in Lavaca County, Tex. on November 10, 1846, the family removing to Benton, Ark., while he was yet a lad of tender years. Arkansans are proud to have reared him, this brave young hero of the Southern cause, having spent the greater part of his noble life with them. Early in 1864 the Federal troops occupied the city of Little Rock, being encamped at St. John's College, and it was here the faithful hero was executed as a spy. During the first of the war David left St. John's College, where he was studyirg, and worked in a telegraph office, but when the Southern army was driven South, many loyal families, among them that of David Dodd, went also. When they had reached Camden, his father found it necessary to send him back to attend to some family affairs, thinking it safe, as he was under the age for military service. He spent a few days in Benton, then came to Little Rock, having received a pass through the Confederate lines from General Fagan, a personal friend of the Dodd family. He asked David to bring back such information as he could gain regarding the strength of the Federals. Some think General Fagan merely asked the boy to bring a report of what had already been prepared for him by his agents in Little Rock, while others believe the information was obtained by the effort of David himself. The mystery has never been solved satisfactorily and probably never will be. Shortly after leaving Little Rock, there was a terrible storm and in attempting to reach the Camden road, David lost his way and wandered back to the picket line. Having given up his passport, the guards refused to accept his explanation, and he was escorted back to town. On his way it is said he endeavored to destroy the paper, but was detected and the document seized. The paper contained information concerning every detail of General Steele's army, the number of soldiers, ordnance, etc., for the Confederates. David was hurried to prison the next day, tried, and condemned to be hanged as a spy on the following day.Death had no terrors for the stern soul of David Dodd, whose honor and love of country was at stake, for his friends (or foes) he repeatedly refused to betray. Hundreds of men and women thronged headquarters and waited in the intense cold for hours to see General Steele and implore him to pardon the youth, but he refused to admit them, and the only pardon he promised was at the price of naming his accomplices. The hour for the execution came; poor David was placed on a wagon and driven in front of St. John's College, where a rude gallows had been erected. Again General Steele approached David and begged him to divulge the name of his informant, and assured him he did not wish to hang him, but the steadfast young martyr again refused to speak. The fatal signal was given and the wagon driven from under him, but the fall failing to break his neck, two Federal soldiers were ordered to jerk the rope until it was accomplished. Years have passed and his lonely grave in Mount Holly is marked only by a simple slab of white marble, the offering of Southern women given at the time of their sorest need; j ust a plain shaft scarce the height of the hero, with only two dates and the name, nothing more: "Born November 10, 1846. Died January 8,1864." This is all that remains of the boy and his story; all that remains to tell his brave deed; and all that now lives that loometh his glory is enshrined in the hearts that e'en silently bleed. So, out 'neath the trees of the still silent city, that city of tombs and oft-broken sod, lie the mangled remains—O, the shame, O, the pity—of the patriot, brave David Owen Dodd.

At the time the War between the States was inaugurated Dr.Doneghy was a practicing physician at Weston, Mo. For several years previous he had been with his family in the city of Indianapolis, Ind., where he was poplular as a man and as a physician, and whener he left many esteemed friends. He located as above stated. Having been born and educated in Kentucky, he was a strong advocate of Southern rights and institutions. Not desiring to engage in the struggle, but the single alternative was left him, either to be torn from his family and incarcerated in some cheerless prison or to unite his destiny with that of the Southern army. “At Lexington, Mo., under Maj.Gen.Sterling Price, he was given the position of surgeon of Cornell’s Missouri Cavalry Regiment. He served the regiment faithfully and well, and won the confidence and esteem of all who had to do with him. At the memorable battle of Pea Ridge he went into the field at the head of the column, alongside the Colonel and was severly wounded. When again ready for military duty, Dr.Doneghy accepted the position of Col.Emmit McDonald’s St.Louis Regiment. About the 1st of November, 1862, in company with a small detachment of the regiment, he went on a scouting expedition and came upon a small band of the enemy concealed ina house near Boston Mountain, Ark., when he rode up to the front of the house and demanded an immediate surrender, at the same time presenting his pistol at the officer in command.  The demand was refused, his pistol snapped, failing to discharge, and he instantly received a shot which terminated his life in a few moments. He left a young wife and a daughter of six summers, who still live in Missouri. He was a Freemason in good standing. He was buried under the supervision of Lieut.Colonel M.L.Young in a little graveyard near the spot from which his spirit winged its flight up to the God who gave it. He was a brother of James Doneghy, of Jackson Co., Mo., who died in the Confederate service at Lamar, Benton Co., Mo., a few days after his brother.”-notonfag

Douglass, Confederate veteran, friend of man, and pioneer citizen of his section, occurred at the family residence, in Mart, Tex., on May 20, 1919. He suffered for many months and knew the end of life was at hand, but he met it with the same patience, courage, and fortitude shown by the heroes of the sixties in fighting for the cause they believed was just. Perry Oliver Douglass was born in Illinois February 19, 1842. He moved in early life to Mississippi and from there to Arkansas. At the age of nineteen he enlisted in the Confederate army as a private and was promoted to corporal, then to sergeant in Company A, 15th Arkansas Regiment, and he saw active service in many of the most strenuous campaigns of the war. He attended all the Confederate Reunions it was possible for him to reach, and his wonderful m*nory of events, details, and dates made him a most interesting speaker and conversationalist. He was married in 1865 to Mrs. S. C. Kendrick, of Camden, Ark., and removed from that State to Texas in 1875. He joined the Baptist Church at the age of sixteen, and "Uncle Perry," as he was familiarly known, and his wife were two, of the charter members of the Mart Baptist Church, organized in 1879 under an elm tree yet standing in the Mart Cemetery. He remained an honored member of that Church the remainder of his life, its membership now numbering nearly one thousand. Upon the once barren prairie has grown up a nice town, still less than twenty years old, with a population of four thousand. He had a share in the upbuilding of the community during the years of its steady growth and remarkable development, showing a liberal spirit and cordial hospitality characteristic of the true Southern gentleman. He kept pace with his beloved town and watched its progress until his step became feeble and his eyes grew dim. He is survived by his faithful wife and five children. In his funeral services the military effect was both pleasing and appropriate. The casket of Confederate gray was draped with the Confederate and United States flags, and taps was sounded just before the benediction as the body of this hero of the sixties was tenderly laid away to await the final roll call on high.

This became Co.A-4th Tenn. Infantry, whose first battle was Belmont. He was in that and in most of the battles of the Army of Tennessee, and received wounds enough to have killed a dozen men ordinarily. At Shiloh, a Minie ball struck him in the right arm while on the skirmish line after his regiment had captured a seven gun battery. He was in the battle of Perryville, and at Camp Dick Robinson was detailed as aid-de-camp on the staff of Col.Strahl, commanding the brigade, and served in that capacity until after the battle of Murfreesboro. At Shelbyville he was commissioned adjutant of Rapley’s battalion of sharpshooters from Arkansas, composed of four hundred men. He reached the command at Bayou Pere on the retreat of Grant, and was in the battles of Baker’s Creek, and at Big Black Bridge, and then was locked up in the siege of Vicksburg. During that siege he received a flesh would from a shell. At the surrender of Vicksburg he was the senior lieutenant of the only two officers of the battalion left, and turned over a roll of forty men. When Lieut.Dupuy’s parole expired he returned to his old command, became aide-de-camp to Gen.Strahl, and was with him in close touch to the end of his military life, which occurred in that awful carnage at Franklin, Nov.30,1864. Lieut.Dupuy was wounded three times by a volley from sharpshooters, and lingered between life and death for months. He went to Virginia on crutches. He heard the last guns fired by Lee’s army, and was paroled at Lynchburg. After the war he lived in Bolivar, Tenn., and served two terms (sixteen years) as attorney general of his district. He went to Memphis in 1886, and practiced law there.

Ellis, James W.-Text:Vol.17, 1909-BY JAMES W. ELLIS, OZAN, ARK. In responding to your request for us old veterans to write you about the things we feel grateful for, I will say that I  was a private in Company E, 4th Arkansas Infantry, McNair's Arkansas Brigade, Army of Tennessee. In the great battle of Murfreesboro, or "Stone's River," as the Yankees called it, I was severely wounded just before sunrise December 31, 1862. I was taken to the hospital in Murfreesboro. So many wounded soldiers were there that I received no attention. One of the surgeons said: "Don't fool with him now. In the morning we will take that arm off." "In the morning" I was not there, for soon after dark I crept out, took up an empty bucket, put my blanket over my wounded arm, and passed the guards as if I were going to the pump out on the street. With much difficulty I reached the depot and left on the first train going southward. I had relatives, my mother's people, at Shelbyville, to which place I made my painful, weary way. My mother's uncle, Joseph Green, an aged farmer three miles from Shelbyville, although he and his good wife, Aunt Amy, had never seen me, received me as if I had been their own son. I am truly thankful that a good, kind Providence guided me to their hospitable home. The ladies of the neighborhood, hearing that a wounded soldier from Arkansas was at Uncle Joe Green's, came to see me, and by their kindness and by the care of a country doctor and my dear old aunt my arm was saved. The uncle and aunt have been in heaven many years, but their kindness to a poor, sick, and wounded soldier will never be forgotten. I am now sixty nine years old and nearly half a century has passed away since I received the kindness of my Tennessee friends and relatives, and although I never have seen any of them since I left them a well boy to rejoin my command, I never have ceased to be grateful to them. notonfag

He is survived by his wife, and two brothers, Thomas J.Fletcher of Alexander, Ky., N.J.Fletcher of Seymour, Texas, and a sister, Mrs.Adeline Chapman, of Hickman, Ky. Col.Fletcher was born in Stewart Co.,Tenn. on Mar.25,1839. He had moved to Little Rock a few years before the War between the States; and when hostilities began, he was serving as deputy sheriff of Pulaski County. He entered heartily into the work of raising troops for the Southern armies, and organized a company in this county in the spring of 1861, which became Co.F-1st Ark.Regt. With the regiment he went to Virginia, participated in the battle of First Manassas, Jul.21,1861, and served in that State for one year. Subsequently resigning his commission, he was on duty for two months, under appointment of Gen.Leonidas Polk, as drillmaster. On his return to Little Rock he took part in the organization of the 20th Regt., of which he was elected Major. Crossing the Mississippi, the command was present at Ft.Pillow during its bombardment by the Federal fleet, and after the abandonment of that post it was united with the army at Corinth and participated in the battle of Farmington. Later, when the regiment was reorganized he was elected lieutenant colonel, the rank in which he served during the recent retreat to Tupelo, the fight at Booneville, Miss., and the fall campaign of 1862, under Gen.Price. His regiment was of Gen.W.L.Cabell’s Brigade, of Maury’s Division, in the battle of Iuka, and he led gallantly in the desperate fighting of his regiment in the assault upon the Federal workds at Corinth.  At the battle of hatchie Bridge, where he commanded his regiment, his horse was shot from under neath him during that fight. Being promoted to colonel, he continued in that rank, though during much of the time disabled by illness, until Dec.1863, when he resigned and returned to Little Rock. Soon afterwards he went to Texas, and was engaged in buying supplies for the army and doing whatever else he could for the cause. At the end of the war, he returned to West Tennessee, and two years later moved to Sykeston, Mo., where he lived for eighteen years, engaged in agriculture, milling, and mercantile business. In 1885, he moved back to Little Rock, and resided until his death there.-on FAG-Tstone- Inscription:"An upright man, a brave and gallant soldier. He died trusting in the Lord."

He was a member of the Columbus Rifles, ordered to East Tennessee, and then to Fort Donelson, where he was made a prisoner and sent to Camp Douglas prison, on Lake Michigan. After being exchanged he was appointed assistant surgeon in the Confederate army, and served until the close of the war. when he married Miss Kate Dougherty, of Memphis. In 1873 he established himself in the practice of medicine at Hot Springs, Ark., where he continued until failing health compelled him to retire and return to his old home. He was eminently successful, and by his ability added to the reputation of that famous resort. Dr. Franklin's service as the surgeon of the Tenth Tennessee was in the field. He was at the side of Col. Randall McGavock when the latter was killed at the head of his regiment. His father, a native of New York, removed to Columbus, Miss., at an early day, where he married a daughter of Mr. Argyle Campbell, of the well known family of Campbells of Mississippi and Tennessee. His father's brother resides in Brooklyn, a retired commodore of the United States navy. Although much of the time of his youth was spent at the North, Dr. Franklin was an ardent Southerner. To the day of his death he regarded the movement that culminated in the invasion of the South as a frenzy of the strangest hallucination in history. He was fond of letters, and wrote with a fascinating pen. His address, May, 1898, at the graves in the Confederate Cemetery, in which he paid a tribute to Robert E. Lee and the women of the South, was a gem of eloquence and strength. Fond of letters, he frequently quoted from the poets. Tennyson was his favorite. "Locksley Hall," which the author afterwards recanted, furnished him the couplet he often repeated when he felt like apologizing for the new order of things:-on FAG-Tstone- Note: Surgeon 14th MS Inf CO.K CSA

Goldman, a member of Tom Hindman Camp No 318, Newport, Ark., passed away at his home in St. Louis,Mo., on January 6, 1922, at the age of seventy-six years. He belonged to the 54th Georgia Regiment and settled in Jackson County,Ark., at the close of the war. He was president of the American Bank of Commerce and Trust Company, of Little Rock; president of the LesserGoldman Cotton Company, of St. Louis; president of the Adler-Goldman Commission Company, of St. Louis; and a leading stockholder in many of the foremost business enterprises of the country. As one of the leading bankers and cotton men of the South he was well known in all parts of Arkansas and was keenly alive to the State's welfare and devoted to its people. Aside from his extensive business interests, he was unusually public spirited and sponsored many gifts and donations to worthy causes. He was born April 26, 1845, in Germany, and, at the age of fifteen years, left home determined to seek his fortune in the New World. He landed in New York City and made his way to Georgia and, at the outbreak of the War between the States, joined the Confederate army, where he served until peace was declared. His connection with Arkansas dated from his army service, for while his regiment was stationed at Pensacola, he met two men from Arkansas, Dick Davis and Jesse Grider, whose enthusiasm for Arkansas made a deep impression upon him, and later led him to seek a homeamong his old army friends at Jacksonport, where he was in business for many years. He was among the first Jacksonport business men to get a vision of a future for the nearby village of Newport, to which place he moved, where his business prospered and grew to be the largest in the county. From Newport he moved to St. Louis, where he began the cotton business, organizing the Lesser-Goldman Cotton Company and the Adler-Goldman Commission Company, two of the most extensive and active agencies of the kind in this country. Though Mr. Goldman's late home was in St. Louis, he held great interest and love for his old home town and was a large subscriber to the fund for the erection of our splendid monument to the memory of the Confederate soldiers of Jackson County. Mr. Goldman died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rice, in St. Louis, after a long illness. He is survived by his wife, three daughters, one son, and a host of friends, who mourn his death and will miss him greatly in the days to come. [W. E. Bevens, Adjutant Tom Hindman Camp.]

Goodloe, A. T., Rev., Station Camp, Tenn.: Confederate Veteran 1895 This magnificent and somewhat celebrated cannon belonged to a Yankee battery at Corinth, which was stormed and captured by the Thirty fifth Alabama and Ninth Arkansas regiments, October 3, 1862. General Rust, then commanding our brigade, was in the immediate rear of the Thirty fifth Alabama, to which I belonged, when he ordered the charge, and he thought this regiment alone did the work, as the regiment between us and the Ninth Arkansas did not advance. After the fight he brought General Lovell, then commanding that army, around to our regiment and presented us to him as the troops that drove the massed forces of Yankee infantry from their entrenchments and captured their battery. Gen. Lovell remarked: "Well, boys, you did that handsomely." I have thought that General Rust did not observe, in the rush of the battle, that the Ninth Arkansas and Thirty fifth Alabama touched each other before we reached the battery. The Yankees gave up the "Lady Richardson" very reluctantly, and W. G. Whitefield, a private in Company D, Thirty fifth Alabama, gave chase to the last one that left it, nearly catching him at the start, but the Yankee was too fleet for him. This incident was the occasion of Whitefield being made first sergeant of his company at my suggestion. He is now a prosperous tobacco leaf merchant at Paducah, Ky. notonfag

Goodman, Frank-Died:Jul.28,1910 age 53 Little Rock, Ark.-Service Unit:Not Confederatev.18, p.582-notonfag-Text: Prof. Frank Goodman, a famous expert accountant, died in Little Rock July 28, 1910, leaving several sons who are becoming established in that beautiful city. The wife and mother, who was Miss Pattie Sims, of Nashville, died a year ago, and both are buried in beautiful Mount Olivet Cemetery, Nashville. Professor Goodman was not a Confederate. He was born in New York fifty three years ago, but he came South in his boyhood and espoused the spirit and interests of the Southern people the remainder of his days. His wife was a delightful woman, beautiful in person and in Christian character. As an expert accountant he did much intricate work for the States of Tennessee, Mississippi, and for the United States govern ment. His work on bookkeeping was the accepted guide for many years. Soon after Father John B. Morris, of the Catholic Church, a native Tennesseean, was made Bishop of Arkansas, he employed Professor Goodman for service, and he then removed to Little Rock. In his younger days, before being bereft largely of hearing, he was marvelous in his friendly, liberal, and progressive spirit. This fact is beautifully illustrated in a sketch by Dr. W. H.

Judge Green died near Hope in 1875 while Treasurer of Hempstead County, and his mother died November 27, 1892. V. J. Green removed with his father's family from South Carolina to Whitfield County, Ga., when he was seven years old and was educated in the schools of North Georgia. He removed to Arkansas in 1860 and began farming with a brother. Soon the State seceded from the Union, and he was among the first to respond. He joined a company which was being made up by Capt. George Gamble, and which was made Company H, of the 2d Arkansas Cavalry. V. J. Green was in the battle of Oak Hills, August 10, 1861, in which conflict the regiment lost its colonel, James McIntosh. He there established a reputation for bravery and coolness which he maintained constantly during the entire war. On leaving the State the regiment was ordered to send its horses home and go as infantry, the horses to be returned after that battle, but this was never done, and the regiment was thereafter known as the 2d Arkansas Dismounted Infantry. In the battle of Murfreesboro V. J. Green was wounded severely and was sent to a hospital in Georgia. His father, being still a Georgian by adoption, procured his son and several others, taking them to his home and nursing them back to fitness for duty. After the battle of Murfreesboro, the regiment was sent to Mississippi, but was subsequently returned to Georgia. During a remarkable fight at Dug Gap the 1st and 2d Arkansas Regiments defeated a whole division of the enemy. V. J. Green was sent on scout duty during that period, having been reared in that section. He went among the Federals and proved himself most efficient. On FAG-marker with Elizabeth Muldrow Green

He was known throughout Arkansas as a Christian gentleman of the highest and purest type. He entered the Confederate army at Batesville, Ark., early in May, 1861, in Desha's 7th Arkansas Battalion of Infantry, and was, at the organization of that battalion, appointed adjutant thereof, with the rank of first lieutenant, by the lieutenant colonel commanding, Franklin W.

After this service he entered the 36th North Carolina Regiment, which was the 2d North Carolina Heavy Artillery. He was called "Colonel," an appellation given him in later years by his many warm and loyal friends in recognition of his high standing, a designation most fittingly bestowed.

Fayetteville, Ark..-Confederate Veteran:v.9, p.512-Text: Mrs.Clementin Bowles writes of her as follows: Entered into rest eternal, Nov.11,1901, Mrs. Thomas Montague Gunter, the honored and beloved President of Mildred Lee Chapter, U.D.C., of Fayetteville, Ark. Mrs. Gunter deserves more than a passing notice. Besides being a devoted wife and mother, the hospitable hostess and firm friend, she was first and foremost in works of love and Christian charity. The Confederate cause never had a more ardent defender. Few women were more severly tried during the war between the States in the furnace of affliction than was this brave and faithful one. Consumed was the dross refined was the gold. When the soldiers returned and became able to care for themselves and their loved ones, she began to cast about for ways and means to provide suitable resting places for the remains of the brave boys in gray that were lying in unmarked graves. To her and the untiring and arduous efforts of Southern women is due the credit of purchasing a Confederate cemetery and the removing thither of seven hundred Southern soldiers, and inclosing them with the same with a substantial stone wall, and funds for a Confederate monument commenced. Although she had been an invalid for a year, she never gave up interest in the things she loved. She died with full armor on. I quote from a daily paper: “One of the largest congregations that ever assembled in the city met in St.Paul’s church yesterday afternoon in repect to the memory of Mrs.T.M.Gunter. The Washington County Bar attended in a body, and the mourners were followed by the Mildred Lee Chapter of the U.D.C, bearing the Confederate banner draped in crepe. Per her FindAGrave Memorial by Cherl: Evergreen Cemetery, Fayetteville, Ark.- Wife of Thomas Montague Gunter The Springdale News-Springdale , AR November 15, 1901-GUNTER, Jennie – {from the Fayetteville Daily} Mrs. Jennie Gunter, wife of Col. Thomas Montague Gunter, passed peacefully away at 8:45 p.m. Monday at their home in this city. Mrs. Gunter had been an invalid for several years and during the past year has been confined to her bed. Although she has known for many months that she was suffering with an incurable malady she retained her wonted cheerfulness until she was oblivious to the things of earth. Her beautiful Christian character which adorned all her life, never shown so brightly as in her final illness. Her present discomfort seemed to be forgotten in the thought of the happiness that awaited her beyond. She spoke joyously of the approaching end and looked forward with brightest anticipation to the day of her emancipation. She was at peace with her God and at peace with all the world. Her good works will never be known, for she was as reticent about her charities as she was untiring in her labors of love. Her ministrations to the sick or needy were not restricted by race or station. She would watch through the long hours of the night by the bedside of a sick negro as willingly as she would attend her dearest friend. She was zealous to her religious duties and a faithful and earnest worker in the church. But notwithstanding her manifold charities, her own house was a model of order, comfort and cheer. A more devoted wife and mother never blessed a household. It is no marvel that she should have gone forth joyously to her reward. Mrs. Gunter, who was Miss Jane Catherine Bragg, was born  Nov. 23, 1832 , in Charleston , Jefferson county, Virginia, and came to Arkansas when she was eleven years old to live with her sister, Mrs. S.V. North, of this city. She was married June 8, 1860 , to Col. Thomas M. Gunter. Four children blessed this union. Jennie and Cora, who have gone before, and W.G. Gunter, of Salt Lake City , Mrs. M.R. Forbes of Evanston , Ill. Judge Julius Gunter, of Denver , Colo. , as beloved as her own son, was the child of a former marriage.

Thirteen years ago he became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and from that time until his death he was an earnest, consistent Christian, doing his duty fully, but he was free from prejudice and intolerance, and had charity, love, and kindness for all Churches and all people. He was loyal and devoted to his wife and daughter, loved the South and loved his State, and loved truth and honor and justice.

V., of Memphis, Tenn., at the meeting on May 6, state that: "in the death of Calvin Jones Hanks this Camp and Company A, Uniformed Rank, have lost a valued and esteemed member, whose ever loyal presence at our meetings will be sadly missed —one who, as a soldier, did his whole duty through those stirring and strenuous days of 1861-65. As a citizen, he was true and law-abiding; as a friend, ever responsive to those ties that bind us heart and hand. Not again will he gladden us with his usual cheer."Calvin Jones Hanks was born at Clarksville, Ga., on December 16, 1834. When only three years of age he was robbed of his father by the hands of an assassin. Soon thereafter his mother moved with her relatives to Searcy, Ark., where comrade Hanks continued to live until after the close of the War between the States. Early in the spring of 1861 he joined the first company of Southern soldiers raised in his county (White) and served as a member of Company E, 1st Arkansas Battalion of Cavalry, doing duty for several months along the State border on the Missouri line, afterwards serving with distinction upon the staffs of Gens. Dandridge McRae and.James F. Fagan, in the Trans-Mississippi Department; and he was paroled at Shreveport, La., on June 7, 1865. For some years then he was engaged as chief clerk of steamboats plying the Memphis and White River trade. Thus he was engaged when the war clouds appeared upon the horizon. "Returning to his devastated home in 1865, he became a commercial traveler for a Louisville (Ky.) firm. After a few years he joined the Memphis firm of Brooks-Neely & Company as salesman in Arkansas, which firm he served for more than thirty years. Then, age coming upon him, he retired to his farm home at Germantown, Tenn., until some months ago, when sickness came upon him and he was compelled to go to the hospital for several weeks, then was taken to his daughter's home, where he departed this life on March 20, 1922. He left surviving an only daughter, Mrs. B. M. Bruce, of this city."Peace to his ashes and honor to his memory. "Committee, F. D. Denton, M. D. Patterson, M. V. Crump."

Although foreign born, Colonel Haven was as public spirited as any native born son of the country. At the outbreak of the Civil War he joined the Confederates, and fought throughout, distinguishing himself on several occasions.  He was with the 41st Arkansas Regiment, under General Price, and was a gallant soldier and an efficient officer, ever fighting at the head of his regiment. At the close of the war he settled in Shreveport, La., and for twenty five years was engaged in active business, bravely facing the hardships of ruined fortune with unflinching fortitude. In 1877 he married Miss Laura 'McDowell, of New York, and removed to St. Louis, where he afterwards lived. His devoted wife survives him. Colonel Haven was loyal to the cause to the end of his life, and no Confederate soldier of broken fortune ever appealed to him in vain for assistance.

Hickman, Robert Armstrong Born:Feb.4,1839 Monroe Co. Tenn.-Died:Apr.19,1922 Buried:Hickman Cemetery, Pea Ridge, Ark.-Obit: {from The Bentonville Democrat} With the death of Robert Armstrong Hickman, which occurred at his home here on Sunday, April 9th, 1922 at 12:30 o'clock p.m. came another break in the "thinning ranks of grey." His death, which came at the good age of eighty-three years, was the direct result of an acute attack of asthma and heart trouble of only a few days' duration, but followed many months of intermittent suffering with these maladies. Mr. Hickman was born near Sweetwater in Monroe county, Tennessee on February 4, 1839. In 1857 he came to Pea Ridge, Arkansas with his parents and other members of the family, making his home in that locality until moving to Bentonville in 1882. On December 6, 1866 he was married to Miss Virginia A. Evans, a member of another pioneer Benton county family. On June 3, 1863 he enlisted in the Confederate Army, joining Capt. Hays' company and in September of the same year became a member of Company F., 15th Reg. Arkansas Infantry, known as the "Northwest Fifteenth." Among the battles in which he participated were those of Pea Ridge, Corinth, Iuka, Port Hudson, Champion Hills and Marks Mills. In the Black River fight he was captured but made his escape after being held prisoner for five days by the Union troops, making his way back to his command. He was wounded in the battle of Corinth. He was paroled at Little Rock in June 1865, following Gen. Lee's surrender to over-whelming forces at Appomattox, and his death occurred on the 57th anniversary of the date of the surrender. As valiant and honorable in civilian life and affairs as in war, Capt. Hickman merited and had the highest regards of his neighbors and other friends and acquaintances wherever known and was entrusted with the office of Sheriff of Benton county when that office, combining with it that of tax collector, was the most important county position of trust within the gift of the voters of Benton county. He is survived by his only living child, Mrs. Harry S. Jackson of this city, one brother, James Hickman, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Monks, both living here (and now the sole survivors of a family of ten children), two grandchildren, Robert and Virginia Jackson, his son-in-law, Harry S. Jackson, nephews and nieces, other relatives and a large circle of friends. His wife died September 1, 1910 and six of their seven children had died in early childhood. The funeral service, conducted by Rev. H.C. Hoy, pastor of the M.E. church, South, was held Monday afternoon in the house that had been Mr. Hickman's home for nearly forty years, and interment made at the Hickman cemetery on Pea Ridge beside his wife and children and where his parents and many other relatives rest.

Thirteen members have answered the  “Last Roll” in the past ten months., the latest being William Henry Hicks., who had been one of the most active members of the Camp, always interested in any of its undertakings. He was born in Hawkins Co., Tenn. in Sept.1845; but the removal of his parents to Arkansas in the next year identified him with that State, where he had lvied and worked ever since. Though only sixteen years old, he responded quickly to the call of his State for soldiers to defend the Confederacy. Enlisting first in the 47th Ark.Cavalry, he served in many of the Confederate brigades, and was in many important battles, being under Col.Lee Crandall on Missionary Ridge. At the time of the surrender he was in General McRae’s Brigade, Fagan’s Division, and noted for his intrepid valor and faithfulness. Surviving are his wife and two sons.

Hindman, Thomas C., General-Born:Jan.28,1828 Died:Sep.26,1868-Buried:Confederate (Maple Hill) Cemetery, Helena, Ark.-Tstone-Picture-Text: p.119 Confederate Veteran  April 1893. BRIEF BRILLIANT CAREER OF GEN. HINDMAN.Gen. Thomas C. Hindman was born at Knoxville, Tenn., in 1830. His father, Thomas C. Hindman, moved to Mississippi when T..C. Hindman, Jr,, was quite young. He and his brother Robert were in school at Princeton when the Mexican war broke out, and they left school to join the army. Their father, in the meantime, had become colonel of the Mississippi Regiment in that war. Young T. C. Hindman, at the age of seventeen, was brevetted second lieutenant for gallantry.  In 1856, having moved to Helena, Ark., he made the race for Congress against Dorsey Rice, and was elected as a States' Rights Democrat, taking his seat in 1857. During this canvass he and Pat Cleburne, who was his room  mate and bosom friend, were attacked by John Rice, Dorsey Rice, and their brother  in  law, James Marryatt, who shot them from concealment and dangerously wounded both of them. Hindman was wounded very badly in the left side, while Cleburne was shot entirely through. In return James Marryatt was shot dead, and Dorsey Rice and John Rice ran away and left the city. In 1861 Mr. Hindman resigned his seat in Congress to enter the Confederate army. Returning to Arkansas, he raised a legion known as " Hindman's Legion," of which he was elected colonel. He was made brigadier general at Bowling Green, Ky., in which State he took part in some severe engagements. At the battle of Shiloh he led a division and was dangerously wounded in the first day's fight, and his horse was shot while he was making a charge. He was promoted to the rank of major general for his conduct at Shiloh. After recovering from his Shiloh wounds he commanded the Trans Mississippi District, and by his energy and aggressiveness organized and equipped quite an army. He had succeeded in almost clearing the department of Federal forces when he was ordered, at his own request, to the eastern side of the river for more active service. While in Arkansas he commanded the Confederates in the bloody battle of Prairie Grove, where the Federals, though superior in numbers, were defeated and demoralized under Gen. Blount. He commanded a division at the battle of Chickamauga, and was so badly wounded that for several months afterwards he was unable to resume command. When the war closed Gen. Hindman went to the City of Mexico, where he remained for about three years. Returning to Helena he took a very active part in the protection of his people from the carpet bag element and was assassinated by unknown parties September 28, 1868.-on FAG-Picture/Tstone/Monument- Confederate Major General. He was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, one of six children of a planter and Indian agent. In 1841 the father bought a new plantation in Ripley, Mississippi where Thomas went to local schools and private schools, graduating with honors from Lawrenceville Classical Institute near Princeton, New Jersey. His Law studies were interrupted by the Mexican War. He was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Second Mississippi Regiment under Colonel Clark and promoted to Captain. His company was assigned to garrison duty and saw no action. After the Mexican war he returned to Ripley and passed the bar exam. He moved to Helena, Arkansas and established a laws practice. His marriage to Mary Watkins Biscoe, the daughter of a wealthy planter enhanced his financial status and his political opportunities. He ran successfully for a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 1858 and was reelected in 1860. He became a strong advocate for secession and when Arkansas withdrew from the Union he resigned his seat. After Fort Sumter, he helped raise the Second Arkansas Regiment and was named as its colonel. By September of 1861 he had been promoted to brigadier general and was a brigade commander at the Battle of Shiloh where he received a minor wound when an artillery shell struck his horse. After this battle he was promoted to major general. He was dispatched to Little Rock and charged with the task of organizing the state against a Union invasion. His extreme actions of burning all the cotton fields, declaring martial law, and harsh treatment of troops made him very unpopular with civilian and troops. But he was credited with saving Little Rock from a Federal invasion. He was moved to Tennessee where he was wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga and again at the Kennesaw Mountain, the last leaving him partially blind and unable to return to duty. In 1866 the Federal Government indicted him for his activities during the war and he fled to Mexico City. Mexico did not work well for him and he returned to Helena in 1867. In the 1868 elections, he urged conservatives to take the oath of allegiance so they might vote against the Republicans. He was unique among the conservatives in that he encouraged acceptance of the African-American suffrage and organization of black voters into support of the conservative cause. On September 28, 1868, an assassin shot and killed him through a window in his home. The murderer was never apprehended nor a motive established. (bio by:Tom Todd)
BURIAL PLACES OF CONFEDERATE GENERALS. John H. Hinemon, President of Henderson College, Arkadelphia. Ark., writes that the burial places of Confederate Maj. Gens. Thomas C. Hindman and Patrick R. Cleburne, devoted friends and distinguished generals from Arkansas, are in the city of Helena, where they resided prior to the war. Brigadier General Tappan is also buried at Helena, Ark. Professor Hinemon writes also that Judge John Alien, a loyal Southerner, who resides at De Witt, Ark., has presented a complete set of bound volumes of the CONFEDERATE VETERAN to the library of Henderson College, and adds: "No gift has ever been made to the college library that is more highly prized than this splendid collection of sketches of Southern history."-Page 506  Confederate Veteran November 1910

Tom Hindman Camp, of Newport, Ark., has recently lost two more of its members by death. Dr. A. D. Holland and H. J. Long, both of whom attended the Richmond Reunion. Both died soon after their return home. Dr. Addison D. Holland was a Kentuckian, but resided in Arkansas since 1878. He entered the Confederate service at Hopkinsville, Ky., October 6, 1862, in Company G, Woodward's 2d Kentucky Cavalry, and served under Forrest and Wheeler respectively until the sounding of taps. He was one of the immortal guards to President Davis in the latter's. movements southward after the surrender of Gen. J. E. Johnston's, Confederate army. Dr. Holland was born in Christian County, Ky., July 24, 1843, and died July 11, 1907, at Newport, Ark., where he had practiced dentistry successfully for nearly thirty years. The foregoing data was furnished by Col. V. Y. Cook.
Holman, James-Burton-Born:Aug.27,1780 Died:Nov.19,1875 Buried:Old City Cemetery, Paris, Texas-Tstone-Text: Vol.13,1905-PIONEER LIFE IN ARKANSAS.Herewith is a sketch of Mr. James Holman, who was born in Virginia August 22, 1780, and was taken by his parents to Lexington,Ky. at the age of three years. He married Rebecca Long in 1809, and soon after moved to Madison County, Mo., where he lived until January, 1826.  From Missouri he moved to Hempstead County, Ark. near Washington. While living in that new country the salt used had to be made from natural salt wells in common iron wash kettles. On one occasion a mad panther jumped out of a tree and bit the man keeping guard, also the mule he used, and both died from hydrophobia. Mr. Holman next moved to Sevier County, to what is known as Hood's Landing, on Little River. While living there he made his crops without having any fences, as there was nothing to molest except deer and other wild animals. He killed a panther in his field across the river and brought it home in a canoe. To kill alligators was a very common occurrence. In those pioneer days the ordinary method of having corn made into meal was to carry the corn in a sack on a horse, and often go ten miles, to the nearest mill. Flour was $20 per barrel and the nearest point at which it could be obtained was thirty miles distant. The six children large enough to go to school had to walk two miles through the black mud, crossing the branches on foot logs. Schools were in log houses with a chimney at each end: one for boys, the other for girls. The seats were logs split open and legs put at each end by boring holes and inserting long pegs. While living at Hood's Tending Mr. Holman was elected to the Legislature about 1836.  About 1837 be moved to during which time his daughter, Nancy C., married R. V. R. Sevier County, near Rocky Comfort, where he lived six years, Greene. Mr. Holman then moved to Paris, Lamar County, Tex. where he lived to the good old age of ninety six years and three months. He was the father of seventeen children. All but two lived until grown. Two sons were at different times elected to the Legislature, and two sons were in the Confederate army. All of his descendants did credit to their honored ancestor. The only surviving daughter, Mrs. Nancy C. Gwinn, who married first R. V. R. Greene and who is the mother of Mrs. C. A. Forney Smith, was born March 22, 1822, while Mr. Holman lived in Missouri, and experienced all the hardships of pioneer life of the War between the States and the awful period of reconstruction. Mrs. Gwinn is still hale and hearty, and is an indefatigable worker.  She has pieced thirteen patchwork quilts and given them to friends. While she lives with her daughter, Mrs. C. A. Forney Smith, in Little Rock, she makes annual visits to old time friends, keeping in touch with her early friends, very few of whom, however, have the blessing of as good health as she. The daughter of Mrs. Gwinn, whose picture is in the group, is one of the best known women in Arkansas. She was the first State President of the Arkansas Division, U. D. C. She maintains an active interest in all patriotic enterprises of her people, and she is open handed in the cause for which she has ever been an open advocate, while she is liberal beyond the average of persons abundantly able to aid the cause of education and the prosperity of the Church with which she has long been connected.

Holmes, C. R., Capt. , was "a man among men," one to be loved and trusted by both men and women, and the reputation he made for himself as a soldier, sans pew et sans reproche, from the first bombardment of Sumter to Bentonville, is an inheritance treasured by his widow and five children. Capt. C. R. Holmes'a wound was doubtless the ultimate cause of his sad death, in 1891.

He was captured near Vicksburg in 1863, and held prisoner at Camp Morton for eighteen months, where he underwent the “cold cheer” and all the privations and hardship incident to that prison. The cause of the South, as well as its memories and traditions, were dear to him to the last. Comrade Holmes was a devoted husband and father, a consistent member of the Church, and zealous in all good works, so that death was met with the calm resignation of a true soldier of the cross.

McDowell in the April number of the VETERAN recalls to mind the death of the lamented Col. E. C. Jordan, of the Twelfth Arkansas Regiment. Col. Jordan was licensed to practise law in North Carolina at the age of nineteen. He came to Arkansas and settled in Little Rock in 1859 or 1860, forming a partnership with Col. J. M. Harrell, now of Hot Springs, Ark. He volunteered in July, 1861, was at Island Ten when the troops defending it were surrendered, but with a few followers made his escape across Reelfoot Lake on a raft. Temporarily attaching himself to the Sixth Arkansas, he was with that command when Gen. Bragg invaded Kentucky. At the reorganization of his old regiment, after being exchanged, he was elected lieutenant colonel, and served as such up to his death, in June, 1863, at Port Hudson. During the siege on the upper side or circle of the works the Federals had constructed rifle pits for the support of a small force very near our own ditches, who were also well protected by their cannon. Here they could easily pick off our men as they went for water or supplies. Gen. Gardner ordered them dispossessed of the pits, and two unsuccessful efforts were made. Col. Jordan was in command of the last charge, which was successful. These works and their men were captured. When he started he raised his cap in his left hand, his right grasping his faithful blade, and with the one command, "Follow me, boys," he sprang out of the ditches. In an instant he was enveloped in dust and smoke from the Federal guns. In a brief time he returned with his prisoners, warmly greeted by comrades. It was a charge under a front and converging fire of artillery. Col. Jordan was killed a few days later by a fragment of shell which tore his right leg off and severed his back bone. He lived but a short while, humbly begging his Master to receive his spirit. notonfag

He was born in Grenada, Miss., August 26, 1837, and died at Wynne, Ark., on February 27, 1910. Early in 1861, when Mississippi called on her brave sons to rally to her defense, A. W. Lake was among the first to respond and enlisted in the Grenada Rifles, commanded by Capt. W. S. Statham, which afterwards became Company G, 15th Mississippi Regiment of Infantry. Comrade Lake, or "Little Picket." as he was familiarly known in the regiment, served with conspicuous gallantry in the battle of Fishing Creek, Ky., where the regiment lost over half the men engaged, and again at Shiloh, where the regiment lost two hundred and thirtyfour out of five hundred engaged, and in which battle he was severely wounded. As a soldier he was ready to respond to every call, and by his generous and joyous disposition he made many true friends among his comrades. As a private citizen afterwards he was equally loyal and true. Dust to dust was not written of the soul. So now, when the green sod covers all that is mortal and the sweet Southern songsters are chanting a requiem over his grave, his pure soul is resting beneath the shades on the eternal shore, ready to welcome the old comrades left behind. Peace to thy ashes and eternal peace and joy to thy soul, my old friend of boyhood days, and my brave, true, and loyal comrade in arms [From sketch by Col. James R. Binford, of Duck Hill, Miss., the commander of the 15th Mississippi Infantry.]-on FAG

Lane, Henry Milton, Major-Text:Born:1839 Crawfordsville, Ind. Maj. Henry M. Lane was a Confederate soldier of as high and heroic record as any of either army who ever lived in Louisville. This is the comment of a local paper of that city, and his death has removed from its activity a useful and prominent citizen. He was a son of Dr. Lane, and was born in Crawfordsville, Ind., in 1839. He was related closely to Gen. H. S. Lane, a distinguished soldier and public man of that State, at one time United States Senator. The family removed to Texas at an early date, and Henry Lane was educated at the Bastrop Military Academy. In 1858 or 1859 he was appointed by Gen. Sam Houston as lieutenant of a company in one of the regiments of Texas Rangers, organized to protect the Texas frontier on the Rio Grande. At the beginning of the Civil War he volunteered in a regiment of cavalry which was afterwards in Ector's Brigade. The brigade was taken to Mississippi by Gen. Van Dorn in 1862 just before the battle of Shiloh, in which it participated, and afterwards Major Lane's command went to Kentucky under Col. T. H. McCray (31st Arkansas Infantry), to whose staff Major Lane was attached. He participated in all the battles of the Army of Tennessee. A voted historical fact is that Ector's Brigade when ordered to charge a battery invariably captured it and brought the guns within the Confederate lines. Major Lane was a man of intellect and scholarly attainments, and as a lawyer stood in the front rank of practice in his State, and was an untiring worker, which doubtless hastened  his death.

At the beginning of the War between the States he enlisted in the Confederate army as a member of Co.F., 2nd South Carolina Cavalry (M.C.Butler), and served for four years under Generals Butler, Hampton, and R.E.Lee. He was one of the four comrades who carried Gen.Butler from the battle field when he was wounded. He was not at the surrender, having been sent in charge of a detail when our army reached South Carolina for the purpose of purchasing cattle for the army. Being cut off from his command by Sherman’s raiders after he had started with the cattle, he and his detail were united with a band which was engaged in hunting bandits and deserters then infesting the country along the North and South Carolina line, principally in Marion County. Returning to his home, in Greenville County, after the surrender, he went to school for awhile, then went to Marion County and married Miss Mary Ann Proctor on Oct.23,1867. He was ready to move to Arkansas in 1875 when Gen.Wade Hampton became a candidate for Governor of S.Carolina. The State had been under carpetbag and scalawag rule after the surrender, and he was so interested in Hampton’s election that he rallied to the support of his old general, rendering valuable service in those Reconstruction days. Mr.Lark was not only a brave soldier for the Southern cause, but was a good soldier of the cross of Chris, and after going to Arkansas he was licensed to preach. He made his home near Alma, Ark., and reared and interesting family of fourteen children, nine of whom, with their mother, survive him. No man stood higher than Mr.Lark in the community where he lived. He ministered to the sick both physically and spiritually. He was a member of the Methodist Church, and three of his sons are ministers in the same Church. He was a member of Van Buren Camp, U.C.V., and also Secretary and Chaplain of Fine Springs Lodge, No.439, F. and A.M. His was a useful life and a blessing to others.

Lee, J. C., Dr.-Text:Page 496 Confederate Veteran October 1904 The following is an extract from a letter received from a gentleman who is a warm friend of Mrs. Lee's: "Dr. J. C. Lee was a close personal friend of Gen. Hindman while he commanded in Arkansas, and when the General was ordered to San Antonio in November, 1864, he sent for Dr. Lee, who was his family physician until July 1, 1865. Their intimate friendship continued after the General went to Mexico, and ceased only with his death, at Helena, Ark., after returning to this country. Dr. Lee never held any official position in the Confederate army, on account of physical disabilities. Being a man of wealth, it was his pride and pleasure to contribute in every possible way to the Confederate cause as an original secessionist. The services of Dr. Lee to the Confederacy were of inestimable value, and the memory of them will always be treasured in the hearts of hundreds of Southern people who were the recipients of his kindly attention and medical skill. He was a tireless worker, often going day and night in the practice of his profession, and supplying the families and soldiers not only with medicine but food as well. When the first troops went to Louisville, Ark., he turned his own home into a private hospital, and took care of many of Col. W. B. Ochiltree's soldiers and others of Gen. Randall Gibson's Brigade." He continued the practice of medicine upon a petition of the people of his county, who considered his services invaluable as a physician to the soldiers and their wives and children. In November, 1863, the medicines gave out, and Dr. Lee took a trip to Mobile, Ala., to procure them. He was successful, to the great relief of the soldiers' families, as shown by the following document: THE STATE OF ARKANSAS, COUNTY OF LAFAYETTE.I, James M. Montgomery, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Lafayette County, in the State of Arkansas, do hereby certify that Dr. John C. Lee, the bearer hereof, is a citizen of said County of Lafayette, is also a practicing physician in good standing, and is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a good and loyal Southern man. He being desirous to go to the city of Mobile for the purpose of purchasing medicines, this certificate is given him with a hope that it will enable him to pursue his journey unmolested, and insure him the respect and treatment due a true Southern gentleman.In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand and official seal at Lewisville, Ark., this 10th day of November, A.D. 1862.J. M. Montgomery, Clerk, Len B. Green, Judge of Circuit Court, Sixth Judicial Circuit, Ark., James K. Young, Prosecuting Attorney of Sixth Circuit of Arkansas." The following winter his time was occupied with the arduous duties of his profession among the Confederate people. In March, 1864, Dr. Lee was especially detailed by Lieut. Gen. Kirby Smith for an important commission, as set forth in Special Orders No. 65, from the headquarters of the Trans Mississippi Department, dated Shreveport, March 17, 1864, as follows: "Dr. J. C. Lee and R. B. Jones have permission to take from Lewisville, Ark., to the Rio Grande twenty five bales of cotton and five thousand pounds of tobacco for the purpose of procuring medicines, he having given security that the proceeds will be invested in that way. During his trip there and back his wagons, teams, and drivers will be exempted from molestation of any kind." On the Doctor's return he was personally complimented by Gen. Kirby Smith for his energy and integrity in carrying out these orders.

Lee was born in Dallas County, Ala., March 6, 1838 (of the South Carolina branch of the Lee family), and there received a common school education. In 1859 he went to Camden, Ark., where he married Miss Emma C. Lide. At the call of his country for troops he was among the first to answer, enlisting in the first company organized in his community. He did not go with that company, however, being sick at the time it left, but soon afterwards another regiment, the 15th Arkansas, was organized there, and he became a member of that, and was later elected major. The regiment was sent to Fort Henry, and when that place fell he was taken prisoner and sent to Fort Warren, remaining there until exchanged in the early fall of 1862. After a short stay at home, he rejoined his command at Port Hudson, and in the reorganization , he was elected lieutenant colonel of Johnson's 15th Arkansas Regiment. He was wounded in the fall of Port Hudson and again taken prisoner. He was sent to New Orleans until the winter following, when he, with other officers confined at New Orleans, were sent to Johnson's Island, where he remained until after the close of the war, being released in May, 1865. Colonel Lee was a man of fine principles and firm convictions of what was right, known for his upright dealings with his fellow men, and loved by all who knew him.

Locke, a lifelong resident of Memphis, son of a former Mayor and well known in that city for the past seventy years, died alone in his room January 13, 1909, from the effects of a fall received earlier in the day. The Appeal Avalanche of the following day states: "Seventy years of age, with no kind hand to minister to him in his last hours, this veteran of the Civil War and survivor of a dozen pitched battles passed away in a cold, vacant room. Mr. Locke died from blood clot on the brain, caused from a fall. The body was discovered by George Arnold, who was startled to find a one armed man neatly dressed, but with mud splotches over his clothes, lying face down on the floor, with his coat folded under his head as a pillow. A long gash extending from the hair to the right eye was bleeding profusely. Fearing foul play, the police were summoned. The identity of the man was established. An investigation disclosed the fact that Mr. Locke had  fallen while crossing Front Street. His forehead struck on the inner guard rail of the street car tracks. Two pedestrians, seeing the man's plight, volunteered to take him home. He roomed, he said, in the Arnold Building, and when the steps leading to his room were reached, he refused to allow the men to proceed farther, stating that he could get along very well without their assistance. The men left Mr. Locke sitting upon the steps. The next seen of him was when he was found as stated above. By instructions from several Confederate veterans the remains were turned over to undertakers. Dr. M. C. Knox discovered that a blood clot had been formed upon the brain. The deceased was the son of Gardiner B. Locke, who was Mayor of Memphis from 1848 to 1849. The Lockes came from England, settling in Virginia in 1710. Both great grandfathers of Charles G. Locke were attaches on General Washington's staff, and nearly every generation of the family has had one or more of its members fighting for his country. When the call to arms came, in 1861, Mr. Locke was in  Arkansas on business. Being eager to get to the front, he enlisted in the Rector Guards of Des Arc, 15th Regiment. He was later transferred to Company A, 6th and 9th Consolidated Tennessee, and followed its varied fortunes to the end of the war. It is said that Private Locke's bravery won the respect and affection of his comrades, so that upon the death of his. commanding officer he was unanimously chosen to succeed him. This he refused to do, preferring to remain in the ranks. At Perryville, while covering a battery, he came so close to the. big guns that he became deaf as the result of the cannonading. At Chickamauga he was wounded in the left leg and sent to the hospital at West Point, Ga.  It was there that he signally distinguished himself. Although ordered by the physician in charge to remain in his. bed, he volunteered with ninety nine others, wounded and crippled like himself, to defend a near by fort against the approaching Union army. As soon as the fort was found to be inhabited the Union commander sent a company to dislodge the defenders. They were met with a withering fire, and retired in utter disorder.  Wilson's whole command moved up, but all day long the brave heroes inside the stockade held them off. Without food or drink and suffering much, the little force just as the sun was setting compelled the enemy to retire. The death roll on that memorable occasion was twenty, and late in the day a bullet lodged in Private Locke'sarm. The following afternoon it was amputated. Among Private Locke's treasures was a certificate commending him for personal bravery from Capt. T. H. Osborne,. of the Des Arc company, to the colonel commanding the Tennessee regiment: In every battle he has distinguished himself with marked bravery, and I recommend him for promotion as having been a dutiful, patriotic, and gallant soldier.'  Although encumbered with his injury, Mr. Locke acted in a clerical capacity for many years following the war, and was known as an experienced bookkeeper. He was connected with the Memphis Ledger, and when the Evening Scimitar was purchased by the late A. B. Pickett, he took charge of the clerical force, serving in that capacity until the paper was. again sold. He then became connected with a local lumber concern as collector, and was with them at the time of his death. The deceased was the last of his immediate family, his nearest relative being a nephew, Charles L. Andrews, in Jacksonville, Fla. Edward McGowan, of this city, is a cousin.  Mr. Locke never married. Shortly after the war he became an honorary member of Company A, Confederate Veterans, and an active member of the Confederate Historical Association, attending all Reunions held since the Civil War. His life as a soldier was a hard one and had made an indelible imprint upon his memory. He was a Past Master of Angeronia Lodge, Master Masons, and was Secretary of the lodge at one time. A strictly moral man, a good, conscientious citizen, and a valiant soldier, Mr. Locke led a splendid sober life. He was a member of the Unitarian Church, and was one of the several who pledged their support to raising a building fund for that congregation.

Lockett, Thomas W., Lt.-Born:Jul.14,1839 Autauga Co., Ala.-Death:Unk-Service Unit:5th Ark.Regt., Lieutenant.-Confederate Veteran:v.16, p.471-Text: Lieutenant Lockett was a gallant Confederate soldier. He was born in Autauga County, Ala., July 14, 1839, his father's family moving from there to Columbia County, Ark., before the War between the States. He died recently at his home, in Camden, Ark. Lieutenant Lockett enlisted as a private in a company known as the Lisbon Invincibles in Union County, Ark., and marched on foot to Little Rock, where he was put in the wellknown 6th Arkansas Regiment, which was first commanded by Col. Richard Lyon. Lieutenant Lockett was in the battles of Shiloh, Murfreesboro, Perryville, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Ringgold Gap, all through the Sherman and Johnston campaign from Dalton to Atlanta, and was at the close of the war, surrendering at Goldsboro, N. C. When the 6th Arkansas was reorganized, Private Lockett was made a lieutenant. He was severely wounded in the battle of Chickamauga. That intrepid soldier, Gen. Pat Cleburne, complimented him on the battlefield for conspicuous bravery. No one who knew him ever doubted his moral or physical courage.Lieutenant Lockett has a widow and three children who are living and prominent in Camden, Ark. The oldest is the wife of Shade B. Proctor. The second, a son, Reese Thomas Lockett, married Miss Bettie Ramsey, daughter of the late Rev. Daniel B. Ramsey, who was rector of St. John's Episcopal Church of Camden for several years, and was captain of Ramsey's Battery that did such efficient service in the-p.472  Confederate Veteran September 1908.-Army of Tennessee. Mr. and Mrs. Reese Lockett have a bright daughter, little Miss Bruce. William P. Lockett married Miss Lena Gee, daughter of Charles D. Gee and Martha Kellum Gee and granddaughter of Col. James M. Gee, the first colonel of the 15th Arkansas Regiment, C. S. A. The widow, Mrs, Mary E. Lockett, has for years been the efficient President of the H. L. Grinstead Chapter, U. D. C. Mr. P. Lynch Lee, of Camden, who furnished the foregoing, gives the following in regard to Comrade Lockett: All incident in the life of Lieutenant Lockett was brought to mind by reading a newspaper article lately, headed 'A Second Solomon.' The article regarded a dispute in a New Jersey city over the ownership of a horse, the case having reached the court. After several hours had been consumed by lawyers on both sides, an adjustment appeared no nearer than at first. The plaintiff, who claimed the horse was stolen from him, made the proposition to let the horse, who he said was well acquainted with the city, decide the question. The officer having the disputed animal in charge was to turn him loose and the owner of the stable he went to was to be declared the rightful one. This being done, the horse went to the plaintiff's stable, which settled what the court found difficulty in doing, A somewhat similar case occurred on our own Washington Street not many years after the war between a city boy and a country boy over the ownership of a dog. Both were very persistent in their claims, and would not yield a particle. The animal was then in the possession of the city boy. At this juncture of the dispute Lieut. Thomas W. Lockett appeared , and as the city boy's father, a very nice gentleman, had sided with his son, saying that the country boy had not produced sufficient evidence to entitle him to the property, Lieutenant Lockett, as was characteristic of him, wished to see that the boy who had two against him had an even chance in the contest. He told the lads that he would test the question in a manner that would convince both of them who was the rightful owner.  At Lieutenant Lockett's request the city boy delivered the dog to him. He then asked each boy to tell him the name he called the dog by. One said the dog's name was Dash, and the other that it was Ring. 'Very well,' said Lieutenant Lockett. 'Now one of you go up the street a little way and the other down the street the same distance.' They complied with his request, when he then told each of them to call the dog. After both called earnestly for the dog, Lieutenant Lockett let the animal loose, and it readily answered to the name of Ring. The country boy was rejoiced. He and Ring went on to their happy rabbit hunting grounds. These two incidents remind us of King Solomon's settlement of the baby question.

we went to Brooks Station and from Brooks Station to Manassas where we had our first taste of war After a double quick for over eight miles through the most intense heat we were thrown into line of battle We could see in front of us the enemy with glistening bayonets forward marching line after line of them When our batteries opened up it looked like harvesters mowing wheat The Federals couldn t stand the fire They broke and ran In the beginning we were shy of ammunition but before the battle was over we had all the guns and ammunition we could handle The Yankees did not want tq be hampered with any heavy weights while the Black Horse Cavalry was in their rear After Manassas we were transferred to the Western Army and struck Shiloh In this battle our army captured one whole division of Federals but sustained fearful losses In our regiment alone our colonel Thompson and two hundred and seventy men were killed wounded and captured John Cathey and John Loftin were both wounded not so badly but that the battle of Corinth found them at their posts again In the battle of Perryville our regiment was on the extreme left and was not called into action till late in the day Men were dying for water consequently the heaviest fighting was on the right where a spring lay halfway between the lines Both sides fought stubbornly but finally we had to give up the struggle and evacuate the town Stones River was another hard fought battle in which the boys of old Company G took part It was bitter cold sleeting and raining and to watch the old year out and the new year in with no tents over your head and Rosecrans's army in front of you was not the most desirable thing in the world The struggle was a bitter one fought with grim determination on each side Finally a fierce onslaught scattered our forces and the day was lost In twenty minutes two thousand of our men went down Our next hard fighting came at Chickamauga Our corps was listed as a reserve but the Yankees started in on the wrong end of the line for our division and Cleburne ordered us forward at quick step Soon thereafter we heard the roar of cannon no unfamiliar sound to us by then When we reached Chickamauga Creek Cleburne was there urging us on Boys go through the river We can t wait On we hurried and were soon in the midst of the fight Night came and we camped on the battle line ready at daybreak to resume the conflict For two days the fighting was intense resulting in a hard won victory for us but O how many of our brave boys had bitten the dust In the hard fighting at Chattanooga our division was on the extreme right with Cleburne in command We held in spite of the most stubborn assaults but the line at the foot of the mountain broke and we too had to fall back We made our next stand at Ringgold Gap where we were assigned the hazardous task of checking the enemy while our army reached a temporary zone of safety Cleburne with his Arkansas and Texas brigades massed his men at the railroad gap and commanded them not to fire till the Yankees marching seven columns deep were almost upon us He talked to us and told us that we were there to save our army five miles away that our task was one of great danger requiring nerve and skill but he knew he could depend on us to a man We thought he would never give the signal to fire but when he did so well did he know the art of war that for deadliness our work was not surpassed during the entire four years of conflict It is not inappropriate to mention here an incident of the fight at Ringgold Gap for three members of Company G were the active participants therein In front of our troops fighting at decided disadvantage was the 76th Ohio In the hottest of the fray they lost their flag It was picked up by John Cathey John Loftin and Lon Sted man and carried by them to Cleburne's headquarters About two years ago ten members of the old 1st Arkansas Regiment among whom were John Cathey and Lon Stedman returned this flag to the few survivors of the 76th Ohio The presentation was made at Newark Ohio by our late Comrade Gibbons and was the occasion of great rejoicing and celebration by the populace of that city Company G was in all the battles of Joseph E Johnston from Dalton to Atlanta seventy four days of almost continuous fighting At Peach Tree Creek on July 20 Clay Lowe and John Loftin were the only two commissioned officers the company had left By the time we reached Macon only one John Loftin was left What is probably an unparalleled incident in the annals of war transpired in front of our division at Kenesaw Mountain Dry leaves and undergrowth caught fire from gun wadding and shells There were not less than a thousand dead and wounded Federals in front of our line Lieutenant Colonel Martin of the 1st Arkansas Regiment climbed the breastworks and called to the Federals that as an act of humanity his men would suspend hostilities till they could come and carry off their dead and wounded In the battle of Atlanta Hood questioned the morale of his army As for Company G it went into action as loyally under Hood as it had ever done under Johnston After that most disastrous defeat we marched back into Tennessee and did our part in the awful battle of Franklin Here Hood commanded his men to charge impregnable breastworks across open field All the generals protested Forrest begged him change his plans To send soldiers against such a was nothing short of suicide Against every protest ordered the advance Cleburne's last words to his soldiers were Boys we are ordered to charge the I don t think we can take them but we can try Forward The men who had never failed to follow their great followed him now but it was his last charge Seven and ten thousand men went down The bravest blood of South was sacrificed The Confederacy was lost. Shortly after Franklin came the end Of the hundred and twenty boys members of the Jackson Guards who left Jack sonport in May 1861 one commissioned officer Capt Sam Shoup Lieut Clay Lowe John R Loftin and twenty six men John Cathey among the number came back In the years which have passed since then these too one at a time with two single exceptions have gone to join those comrades by whose sides they stood at Manassas at Shiloh at Atlanta and at Franklin On Fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread While Glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead WE Bevens Newport Ark.-notonfag

Martin, R. T.-Text: REMINISCENCES OF AN ARKANSAN.-BY R. T. MARTIN, HOWELL, ARK.-Some incidents of my experience as a private soldier in Company G, 18th Arkansas, would perhaps interest the readers of the VETERAN. I enlisted at Cotton Plant, Ark., in March, 1862, before I was sixteen. We marched across the country to Des Arc, on White River, and embarked on a small steamboat, the Oker Bell, for Pittman's Ferry, from which place we were ordered back to Little Rock, and landed at Devall's Bluff on March 9. Rain fell in torrents that day, but we pursued our journey by the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad to Argenta, across the river from Little Rock, where we were sworn into service by Governor Rector and ordered to Cointh, Miss. The order was countermanded at Memphis, and we were sent to Island No. 10, on the Mississippi River. Before we reached that place the Federals had possession of it, and we fell back to Fort Pillow. I remember seeing some of our unfortunate comrades floating down that river on logs, who were rescued by members of our company. From Fort Pillow our company was again ordered to Corinth, where we remained some time. We engaged in the battle of Farmington, between Corinth and Shiloh, our first battle. Shortly afterwards we abandoned Corinth to the Federals. I was left with others as a detail under Maj. John G. Fletcher to burn the quartermaster and commissary stores. We remained until the morning after the army had gone, when the advance of General Buell's army came into the town, then we marched for about twenty miles to Guntown, a point on the M. & O. Railroad. There the Federals made a flank movement and captured a train load of our sick and wounded, burning the train with a few of our sick soldiers, it is said, who were unable to get off. The Federals soon abandoned the place, leaving our sick and wounded, who were scattered  around under bushes and sheds. It was a horrible sight. Some of the sick were lying about insensible, covered with flyblows. We administered to them as best we could, then continued our march to Tupelo, where we remained until September 1.-Under the commands of Generals Van Dorn and Price we next went to Iuka. Miss., where we engaged in a desperate battle for several hours, after which we continued our march to Corinth, but on our way, at Chewalla, we met the enemy, and had quite a battle on October 3. We then marched on and surrounded Corinth, lying upon our arms all night, while the Federals reenforced as many as four deep behind their works. On the morning of October 4, with Capt. Charles Lynch and Lieutenants Moore and Turner commanding the forty six men present in our company, with Colonel Daly commanding the 18th Arkansas, and General Cabell commanding our brigade, Murray's Division, we made the charge under an enfilading fire, over fallen timber, until we reached the breastworks of the enemy. Many fell upon their breastworks. When the smoke had cleared away and we were forced to retreat, we had only six men, leaving the others killed and wounded on the field. Our colonel was killed, the horse of General Cabell was killed under him, and he was severely injured by the falling of the animal. It was at this place that he almost lost his entire brigade, and here I saw our noble Colonel Rogers, commander of the 2d Texas, of Moore's Brigade, fall from his horse a lifeless hero. His body rests where he fell, under a monument erected to his memory. We then fell back in the direction of Ripley, Miss., and while a part of our command was crossing the Hatchie River Bridge the Federals got in our front and planted their batteries in range of the bridge, opening fire upon us. It was here that General Price took command and carried us to Lumpkins Mill, on the Hatchie River, and from there we marched through the little town of Ripley and rested the remnant of our band until the morning of October 5. We then marched across the country to Holly Springs, remaining for a few days, and then we were sent to Jackson. We next marched to Tangipahoa, La., across the country by way of Clinton to Port Hudson. History has failed to give justice to the valor and suffering of our soldiers in the battles of Port Hudson. We were consolidated with the 10th, 15th, and 23d Arkansas, making a respectable regiment, with Col. O. P. Lyles as senior colonel commanding. We were put to work building breastworks, which we completed for five miles around the fort except at a point on the north side, which remained unfinished until after the siege opened on us by General Banks's army. It was then completed by digging rifle pits the rest of the way. We were unmolested until about the 1st of March, 1863, and it was then that Farragut's fleet came up from New Orleans and anchored below the fort. It bombarded us continually until the night of March 14. Then they undertook to pass up the river by our batteries, with the flagship Mississippi leading. The Hartford succeeded in passing. The Mississippi was fired by hot shot from our batteries, and her officers and marine soldiers were forced to abandon her, leaving her to float down the river on fire. It is said that the entire fleet kept ahead of the Mississippi for a distance of fourteen miles to avoid the danger of her blowing up. On the morning of the 15th we picked up the hero of Manila, Admiral Dewey, who was then a lieutenant in Farragut's fleet, with nineteen marine soldiers.  The fleet-p.70  Confederate Veteran February 1909.-then returned to the point that had been left and remained until the siege, It was on the evening of May 19, 1863, that our out pickets were first attacked by the advance of Banks's army. We thought it was a part of Grayson's Cavalry. I was on the outpost at the time, and was one of the pickets fired upon. We were relieved on the morning of the 20th. Three hundred men were called as volunteers to go out with the battery of four guns. I was of this command. We went four miles east and lay on our arms until the morning of the 21st, when we heard the beating of drums and blowing of bugles of the advance of Banks's army coming up from Baton Rouge. That capital of Louisiana was only twenty miles below. While we were in line of battle, with a crabapple orchard in front of us, the enemy placed their batteries in position and opened on us with grape and shell. We held them for several hours in a fierce engagement, and then fell back four miles, but contested every inch of the ground until we received a fresh supply of ammunition. Then we gained the ground that we had fought over until we reached the position we had held in the morning. This was at sundown. We then marched off the field, carrying our guns, some of them being drawn by two horses and some by the soldiers, until we reached the line of reenforcements sent for our rescue, Miles's Louisiana Legion. Banks's army soon surrounded us with forty thousand men, according to his own report. We had in the fort only three thousand men, with ten days' rations of meat and bread. We had plenty of sugar, molasses, and salt, and a few peas, which were ground for our breadstuff. From then on the siege was open both from land sources and Farragut's fleet, and there was not the snapping of a finger between the fire of guns and cannon. We held five miles of works day and night with continual loss of our forces. They made assault after assault upon our works, but we repulsed them every time. They dug up to our works so close that they could throw hand grenades over in our lines, and the distance was so short that we were able to throw them back into their own lines before they would explode. They attempted to blow up our works at many points, and when they reenforced a weak point to get into our works, we would concentrate at that point, and we defeated them every time with great loss to them. In June General Banks sent in a flag of truce to General Gardner demanding unconditional surrender, saying that he was in position to open on us the next morning with three hundred pieces of artillery, that he was prepared to take the fort, and that as his men had suffered so much since they had engaged in the siege he would be unable to guarantee to our soldiers the protection that General Gardner's command should have. General Gardner declined to accept his demand, saying that if he could take the fort we would risk the result. At daylight the next morning Banks opened on us with his artillery, and made a general charge by his land forces on our fort. We killed twice as many as our number, still defeating them at every point. By this time our supplies of meat had been exhausted, and we then resorted to the slaughtering of mules and horses, which were boiled and served to the men for their subsistence the rest of the siege. On July 4 they threw hand grenades into our works with dispatches stating that Vicksburg had surrendered and we had as well give up. We would answer by the same source that we believed the statement false. We continued fighting until the 8th of July, when the condition of the capitulation was entered into whereby the privates and noncommissioned officers were to be paroled and the officers to be held prisoners. They were sent to Johnson's Island. On the morning of July 9 Banks with his great army marched in to take charge of the fort. On marching around us at the point on the bank of the Mississippi where we surrendered our small band they expressed great surprise at the small number of soldiers to be surrendered.  We were treated while prisoners as kindly as could be expected. They seemed ashamed to think that they had been held at bay so long by the handful of men surrendered to them. We were paroled in a few days and sent up the river to Natchez, where the few of us left returned to our homes. My company had first and last one hundred and forty nine men, and when we returned home, there were only nineteen present. In September we reported to the Trans Mississippi Army for duty, I, with others, joining Captain Anderson's company, 1st Arkansas Cavalry, Dobbin's Regiment, and in 1864 I went with my command, under General Price, into Missouri, We went within thirty miles of St. Louis and also up the Missouri River to Kansas City, engaging in battle at numbers of points up to that place, and there we met our Waterloo. A strong Federal force had been concentrated at that point. At one time we were entirely surrounded, but we cut our way out with great loss. We were forced to retreat south for several hundred miles, fighting nearly every day. We had no forage for our horses or provisions for our men, for we had lost our train and all the supplies. For several days we were with nothing to eat except ears of corn from occasional fields along the march. Part of our army went on down into South Arkansas, while the regiment I belonged to came back to Eastern Arkansas, where we engaged in many battles around Helena and other places until the close of the war.I formally surrendered at Helena June 20, 1865, since when I have been a citizen of Cotton Plant and Howell.

Soon after the outbreak of the Civil War he joined the Confederate army, aiding in the organization of Co.A, 10th Arkansas Infantry, of which he was made third lieutenant. He served until the end of the war, and was promoted to the rank of captain. No truer, braver soldier ever wore the gray. An example of the dauntless courage was his escape from a Federal prison with the Confederate uniform on and making his way for hundreds of miles through the territory of the enemy to his homeland in the South.

To the end of his life he was a fighter; but the energy and courage and fidelity that held him true as steel to a soldier’s duty during the war had since the war been directed to the destruction of what he conceived to be righ and good. He was a successful and influention business man, and he took an active interest in all the movements and enterprises that had for their aim the uplift of the people. He gave liberally his time, his thought, and his money to the poor and afflcted, to improvement of business and farm methods, to better streets and better roads, to better sanitary and moral conditions, to Churches, schoolhouses, and colleges. Three colleges in his hometown enjoy his magnificence, and to no one of them, Hendrix, a college for boys, he has given not less than $75,000. For a number of years he was Mayor of his town, and several times he was elected representative of his county in the legislature or other positions, but only when these positions offered opportunity for signal service to his people. On account of his progressiveness, his qualities of leadership, and his strikingly unselfish life he had a State wide influence, and was well known and honored beyond her borders. By common acclamation he was the foremost citizen of his community. It is on everybody’s lips:”We shall not see his like again.” He was never married. That part of his fortune he did not administer himself in benevolence he left to his brothers and sisters and their children. To his county and State he leaves an example of a spotless character, and to the thinning lines of Confederate soldiers he bequeaths a stainless name. notonfag

He was married to Miss Sallie Bryant in 1881, who was a near relative of the great American poet, William Cullen Bryant. Bad health and other misfortunes had reduced him in his old days.-on FAG- McCLINTON, Joseph H. - It will be a matter of much regret to his many friends throughout this county to learn of the death of Capt. Joseph H. McClinton which occurred at the Confederate Soldiers' Home at Little Rock at 10:00 o'clock on Wednesday of last week after a long illness. Death resulted from old age and rheumatism. Capt. McClinton was a native of Ohio. He came to this county in an early day and remained here until he went to the Confederate Home about eighteen months ago. He was sixty-eight years old at the time of his death. His wife preceded him to the grave several years ago and as there were no children by the union he leaves no relatives. Capt. McClinton served with distinction through the Civil War in the Confederate Army and was always zealous in the cause of the South. After the war he served two terms as sheriff of Benton county and had he been a policy politician he could perhaps have had any office within the gift of the people of this county for an indefinite time for the mere asking. But he was not a policy man. Instead he was bold, fearless and outspoken on any and every issue presenting itself, in consequence of which he lost much of the political prestige he once had. He was once fairly well-to-do in this world's goods but in later years financial reverses befell him, his wife died, old age with its attendant decrepitude came upon him and finding himself impoverished and alone in the world, he entered the Confederated Home to pass his few remaining days. The funeral services were held at 10:00 o'clock last Thursday morning at the Confederate Home and the remains were interred in the Confederate Cemetery at the Home. Peace to his ashes.

McClure, Joseph-Born:Mar.10,1844 Died:Feb.22,1921 Buried:Oakwood Cemetery, Ft.Worth, Texas-Tstone-Text:WOUNDED TEXAN'S TRIP HOME ON CRUTCHES. BY JOSEPH M'CLURE, FORT WORTH, TEX. I was a member of Company A, 18th Texas Cavalry, dismounted, at Little Rock, Ark. I was captured at Arkansas Post January 13, 1863, and imprisoned at Camp Douglas, near Chicago, and was exchanged at City Point, Va., in April, 1863. We were for some time recruiting and in service around Lynchburg, Petersburg, and Richmond.  Remnants of the 15th, 17th, and 18th Arkansas, and 10th Texas were consolidated into one regiment. We were transferred to General Bragg at Tullahoma, Tenn. We were placed in General Granbery's Texas Brigade, under Pat Cleburne and Hardee. We were in nearly every fight from Tullahoma, Tenn., to Atlanta, Ga., where at daylight on July 21, 1864, the enemy had a cross fire on us, and I was wounded twice by balls-(p.163  Confederate Veteran April 1909)-from two directions. I was carried to the Griffin Hospital, where I lay for thirty two days. Then, using crutches, I was granted a sick furlough for sixty days, and a grand, good lady, Mrs. John M. Garrick, called at the hospital for a Texan that she could take out and care for. This noble woman cared for me and washed and bandaged my wounds and supplied me with good clothes from August 24, 1864, to July 14, 1865. Then she gave me money to use on my way home. I started home on July 15, using crutches much of the way, The railroads were destroyed in so many places that I had to walk about half the way to Vicksburg. I arrived there on Sunday. Soon a nice gentleman, seeing my condition, asked me where I was from and where I was going. He kindly gave me a five dollar United States bill and said I would need it on my way. This cash came in good time, for that which Mrs. Garrick gave me was Georgia and Alabama State money, and was not good for my needs across the river. I walked on my crutches from Vicksburg, Miss., to Mount Prairie, Tex., where I rested three days with a friend who furnished me a young but wild mule to ride home, but to control the mule I had to leave one crutch. That ride almost wore me out, it was very hard on me. The mule trotted very hard, and I kept him in a gallop most all the way to Alvarado, where I landed at home on August 15, 1865, just one month on the trip. I found all good things waiting for me. I had a fine rest. After three weeks I returned to my friend, J. J. Davis, his mule in good condition. I stayed with him a week, and enjoyed with him fine deer hunting. Well, I went into the war on January 15, 1862. I was born at Duquoin, Perry County, Ill., on March 10, 1844, and by God's will I wore the gray, of which I am proud to day. I read the VETERAN and learn of the old time places that we so vividly recall. Just think of Chickamauga, where we slashed and ran over each other for almost a day, and of New Hope Church, where they with nine solid lines went at us and so close that their dead and wounded would, in falling forward, hit us with their guns, and of that dark night charge Pat Cleburne made with us and almost caught Hooker and Thomas, but where their solid line of battle fired at us not over ten yards away! I thought all but myself were killed, but no one was hurt, as old Pat told us they would overshoot us. They wheeled to run, and running over each other became demoralized. General Cleburne told us that they would and that they would call for their commands, and he ordered us to answer them like quails answer their lost, saying that they would come to us the same way, and so they did, as well as I recollect.

The deceased was born in East Tennessee, April 2, 1830, and came to Arkansas in 1840. In 1847, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Pettigrew, and to this union was born six children, five sons and one daughter. His wife died 6 years ago.Mr. McCoy came of a sturdy pioneer stock, whose dauntless courage was their inheritage from time immemorial. In the early fifties he made the trip to California in wagons, his life-long friend and our venerable townsmen, Mr. B.A. Carl, being one of the party on this hazardous journey. Shortly after his return from the west the civil war was on and he enlisted in Co. K 34th Ark. Infantry, and remained until the close, making a splendid record as a soldier. Mr. McCoy's early life was devoted to farming. He was industrious and possessed a happy and cheerful disposition. He was a kind neighbor, ever ready to help those around him in any way he could. He was a tender husband and a devoted and indulgent father. About four years ago, when on a visit to his son in Westville, he met with an accident that made a cripple of him, though the past eighteen months he was able with the aid of a cane to get about. Mr. McCoy is survived by three sons, Messrs. R.L. McCoy and Ed. McCoy of Prairie Grove, and M.M. McCoy of Westville, all of whom were present at the funeral services.

Buried:Texas State Cemetery, Austin, Texas-p.517 Confederate Veteran  October 1897.Text:GRAVES OF JOHNSTON AND McCULLOCH.A "Confederate" writes from Austin, Tex.:In a back number of the VETERAN you say that Comrade W. M. McConnell, writes of the grave of Albert Sidney Johnston in Austin, Tex., " at which there is no mark of any kind." This is a mistake. I stood by the grave of that grand hero this afternoon in the State Cemetery in this place, and say that it is enclosed with a substantial iron railing, that at the foot of the grave there stands an ordinary three foot marble slab, (that evidently was once the head stone), and at the head stands a marble monument, about one foot in diameter, and five feet high, representing a broken column, from the top of which unfolds a scroll, with a beautiful vine thereon, also a suitable inscription. On the base of the monument appears Gen. Johnston's name. I learn from Gen. W. P. Hardeman that two thousand dollars was appropriated by a Texas Legislature to have his remains moved here and this token of respect erected to his memory. Had Comrade McConnell said that Gen. Ben McCulloch's grave had been neglected, then he would have indeed told the truth. He, like Johnston, gave up his life in a distant state for his beloved South. He willed his body to Texas, and his friends brought it here and interred it in the State Cemetery, very near where Johnston sleeps, but the state has not spent one dollar on his grave, and the only mark thereat is a plain slab bearing the simple inscription "McCulloch," which was placed there by his brother.Albert Sidney Johnston was worthy of all that Texas did for him, and far more, but who will say that his services to Texas as a paid United States army officer, prior to the war, will compare with those of Ben McCulloch, who cast his lot with Texas in 1836, and from the battle of San Jacinto to his death, at Pea Ridge, Ark., in 1862, was always at the command of his state, whether in the halls of the Congress of the republic, upon the scout after the deadly Comanche, in the war with Mexico, or in the Confederate army? He proved his devotion to Texas by giving his life's blood, and yet Texas has done nothing for his memory except to permit his friends to place his remains in the sacred limits of the State Cemetery.

Commissioned a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army on April 11, 1861, he was placed in command of Indian Territory. He obtained the Cherokees' promise to fight for the Confederacy and authorized Stand Watie to organize a Cherokee force. As commander of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas troops operating in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, he led Confederate forces against Brigadier General Nathaniel Lyon's Union troops at the Battle of Wilson's Creek, on August 10, 1861. He personally led 2 companies of Louisiana infantry in a charge that captured 5 guns of Colonel Franz Sigel's command and routed the Union force. Because of casualties and lack of ammunition, his forces did not follow up their advantage. He was a frontier fighter with little regard for formal military protocol or theory and usually wore a black velvet suit in the field. He feuded with Major General Sterling Price, with whom he was teamed at Wilson's Creek and other engagements. Friction between the two was eased by the appointment of Major General Earl Van Dorn as commander of the Trans-Mississippi District early in 1862.

He was a native of Rutherford Co., Tenn. His father, Major Alexander McCulloch, who was Aid de Camp to Gen.Coffee, under “Old Hickory,” was a Virginian. Gen.McCulloch was educated in Tennessee, but in his young manhood went to Texas in 1837. He was elected sheriff of Guadalupe Co. in 1843; a member of the Texas legislature in 1853, and two years later a Texas Senator. He served as United States Marshal from 1859, until Texas seceded from the Union. In the war with Mexico, 1846-8, he was Captain of a company of Texas Rangers. In 1861, he was made Colonel by the Texas legislature, and by the Confederate government. He promptly secured the surrender of fortifications in Northwest Texas. In August of that year, he was made Brigadier General, and organized troops for a campaign in Arkansas and Missouri. He served in important capacities throughout the war. He Seguin Anchor pays this tribute to him: “Away back, when defenseless women and children in the primitive homes of Texas called for protection, Henry McCulloch was found on horseback facing the red man. Before our cities were built, before our railroads and telegraph wire were stretched, when the line of advancing civilization was east of the Mississippi, the McCullochs were fighting in defense of the homes of the western pioneers, and the impress of their strong characters was upon hundreds of young men who grew up in that period.” The unfortunate and desolated Confederacy did not have a more faithful and consecrated soldier. Distinguished and merited honors fell to his lot, and were freely bestowed by his admiring comrades. After the war his many, civic virtues shone as resplendent as his deeds on the field of battle.

In 1821 his parents moved from the old family seat in North Carolina to Wayne County, Miss., and in a few years thence to Simpson County, of the same State. At the age of twenty two young McNair went to Jackson, the capital of the State, and for some years engaged in the mercantile business. Upon the breaking out of the Mexican war in 1846 he volunteered in Company E, of the First Mississippi Rifles, of which regiment Jefferson Davis was colonel. He served with that command during its term of service in that war, being promoted to orderly sergeant of the company before its termination. In such a regiment and in an army as limited as that was as to numbers this was no small compliment. After the return from the Mexican war he resumed his business in Jackson until 1856, when he removed to the town of Washington, Ark., a community of wealth, culture, and refinement, where he reembarked in the mercantile business, and soon gained the confidence and esteem of that elegant people. Here, on August 11, 1859, he married Miss Hannah Merrill, of New York, a woman of rare culture. On the breaking out of the war between the States he promptly raised and organized a battalion of seven companies of infantry, and immediately set out for Southwest Missouri to join Brig. Gen. McCulloch, then in command of the Confederates in that military district, and in August, 1861, reached the town of Fayetteville, in Northwest Arkansas, where there awaited to join his battalion another excellent company of one hundred men, from Calhoun County, in Middle South Arkansas, under Capt. J. B. McCulloch. Two other companies from South Arkansas were added in a few months, so as to form a full regiment of ten companies, which was then named the South Arkansas Regiment, until it was mustered into the Confederate service and reported to the War Department at Richmond, when it was named and numbered officially as the "Fourth Arkansas Regiment of Infantry."v He met the division of McCulloch at the little town of Mt. Vernon, a few miles southwest from the battlefield of Oak Hills or Wilson Creek, two or three days after the battle, and then, on the 17th of August, his battalion, as it was then, was mustered into the service of the Confederacy. He was from thence onward a part of the army of McCulloch, and after Gen. Van Dorn took command, on the 3d of March, 1861, was still a part of McCulloch's Division in the army as thus organized. He commanded his regiment in the battle of Elk Horn, and when McCulloch and McIntosh had fallen, and Col. Louis Herbert, of the Third Louisiana Infantry, the senior colonel, had been captured, in the early stage of the battle, he commanded the infantry of the division, and repulsed the enemy in front of the Confederate right. After the battle of Elk Horn the army under Gen. Van Dorn was hurried to Corinth, Miss., to reenforce Gens. Albert Sidney Johnston and Beauregard at that place, then concentrating to attack Gen. Grant at Shiloh. But Van Dorn's Corps, or Army of the West as it was afterwards known, did not reach Corinth until after the battle had been fought. After the army under Gen. Beauregard had retreated from Corinth southward to Tupelo, Miss., the brigade of which the Fourth Arkansas formed a part, together with what was afterwards known as Ector's Texas Brigade, and another division under Brig. Gen. Pat Cleburne, were detached from that army and sent round to Chattanooga, thence to Knoxville, where Maj. Gen. E. Kirby Smith organized a force of 15,000 or 20,000 men, including these two divisions (which he styled his advance), and thence advanced rapidly over the Cumberland Mountains into Southeastern Kentucky. On August 30, 1862, Gen. Kirby Smith met the Federal force of several thousand men under Brig. Gen. Mansur, and later in the day under Maj. Gen. William Nelson, commander of one of Buell's divisions, in the second day of the battle of Shiloh. Mansur was driven back over a space of seven miles to the vicinity of the town of Richmond, where Nelson had brought up reenforcements and taken command. This army, variously estimated at 10,000 or 12,000 men, was attacked on its right center, just south of the turnpike road leading from the southeast, by McNair, then in command of the brigade, with a flank assistance of a company of most excellent sharpshooters from Brig. Gen. Preston Smith's Brigade, of Cleburne's Division, operating about the town cemetery, and utterly routed. Gen. Nelson was slightly wounded, and hurried from the field with his routed troops, who were headed off that day on the turnpike northwestward from Richmond, and mostly captured by Scott's Louisiana Cavalry on the following day (Sunday) while Gen. Kirby Smith was holding thanksgiving religious services at Richmond for this clean victory. For the excellent management of his brigade in this battle, as well as for the gallant manner in which his troops broke the line of the Federals and put their whole force to the rout in this battle, it is said, and was commonly understood at the time  Gen. Kirby Smith, who had been an eyewitness, promoted Col. McNair on the battlefield to a brigadier generalship, which accordingly was fully accomplished by the War Department shortly afterwards. After his promotion he was assigned to the -p.266 Confederate Veteran June 1903.-command of the brigade to which his old regiment belonged, Gen. Churchill having been transferred soon afterwards to the Trans Mississippi Department and promoted to a major generalship, and continued in command of it until he was transferred, as will be stated further on. He was in command of his brigade at the battle of Murfreesboro, Tenn., on December 31, 1862, the same at the time being one of the three brigades in the division of Maj. Gen. John P. McCown, in the corps of Lieut. Gen. W. J. Hardee. Afterwards he was with Gen. Joseph E. Johnston in his efforts to relieve the beleaguered city of Vicksburg, Miss., and still later, with his brigade, took an active and efficient part in the great battle of Chickamauga, where he received a painful flesh wound in the thigh, which, though not dangerous, incapacitated him for service in the field for a long time, and he was transferred to the Trans Mississippi Department just before Christmas following. Upon recovering from his wound he was assigned to the command of one of the four brigades in Gen. Churchill's division, Gen. E. Kirby Smith being at the time in command of the Trans Mississippi Department. Gen. Churchill's Division, composed entirely of infantry, was not engaged in any important battle after the assignment of Gen. McNair to it. From that time on until the close of the war active operations in that department were mostly confined to the rather spectacular cavalry campaign of Gen. Price into Missouri, known as the "Missouri Raid."After the return of the scattered and much demoralized cavalry from that movement there was little done, and military operations were mostly continued to movements here and there to receive supplies, and in preparation for the enactment of the final scene on the military stage. After the downfall of the Confederacy, Gen. McNair remained only a short time at his home in Washington, Ark., and then removed to the city of New Orleans, like all Confederate soldiers, in search for a business that promised support to him and those dependent upon him, while he should watch with the natural anxiety growing out of such a situation the changing scenes about him. Afterwards he resided for some time at Magnolia, Miss., where his noble wife died and was buried. Her husband and three children Edward Fletcher, Myra Conway, and Maggie Merrill survived her. The General and his children then removed to the city of Hattiesburg, in the same State, and there resided until his death. Here the children married and prospered, and still reside, except that the son resides in Chatawa, Miss., near by. The elder of the daughters married Mr. S. C. Eaton, and the younger Mr. Dan Fairly. The writer of this sketch was intimate with Gen. McNair, socially and officially, from the commencement of the war, in the summer of 1861, until the close of the year 1863, and takes pleasure in bearing testimony to his noble character as a man and soldier. He was then about forty years old, in manhood's prime, tall and straight, with light auburn hair and dark blue eyes, neat in his person, dignified in manner, and yet one of the most companionable of men. He was the soul of honor, and could little tolerate smallness or meanness in others. The writer saw him but once after the war. It was ten or twelve years after its close, during a short business stay in Arkansas. In a correspondence about seven years ago he was in the most optimistic spirit, and expressed himself as happy in all his surroundings. On FAG

He was early trained under a private tutor and entered the State University of South Carolina, from which institution he was graduated in the class of 1849. The same year he removed to Arkansas and settled in Searcy, where he was subsequently admitted to the bar. He rose rapidly in his profession, and soon gained an extensive practice. He served his county six years as County and Circuit Clerk. In 1861, when the war was immenent, Gen.McRae was maee State Inpector General on the staff of Gov.Rector, and naturally was among the first to go into the Confederate service. He was actively engaged in organizing troops for the State, and was sent by the military board to muster in Gen.N.B.Pearces’ Brigade of State Troops. Even at that time the Missourians were driven  from the State by the Federal generals, Lyon and Siegle. Gen.Ben McCulloch, in command of Arkansas and Indian Territory, issued a proclamation to the people of Arkansas to go to the borders and repel invaders. Many companies organized and reporte to McRae, who, at the request of the General, took command and moved into Missouri toward Springfield, to make a diversion while the General moved to Carthage to relieve Parsons, of the Missouri State Guard. Upon his return to Arkansas McRae organized a regiment of infantry and was made Colonel of the same. He took part in the battles of Oak Hill (Wilson’s Creek), Pea Ridge, Corinth, and all of the early engagements on the Missouri borders. He crossed the Mississippi River with his regiment when the troops under Van Dorn were transferred east of that river. He remained there for some time, but was sent to Arkansas to raise another army in the West, where he raised a second regiment and aiding recruiting several others. They were formed into a brigade known as McRae’s Brigade, and he was assigned to the command with a rank of brigadier general. When Little Rock was taken by the Union forces the State was virtually cut in two, the Arkansas River being the dividing line, and Gen.McRae was assigned to the command of Northern Arkansas. He was in the battle of Helena and captured the only fort taken, also Jenkins Ferry and Prairie Grove. In the spring of 1864 Gen.Davidson came by White River, landed at Augusta with the Third Minnesota to reconnoiter. This company encountered several hundred men under Gen.McRae. A fight ensued. And the Federals fell back in good order, suffering a great loss in killed and wounded. At the close of the war Gen.McRae returned to his home as soon as the reconstruction laws would permit. He resumed the practice of law at Searcy where he was entirely successful. In 1881 he was called to assume the duties of Deputy Sect.of State. At the New Orleans Exposition in 1884 he took personal charge of the Arkansas display. In 1888 he was appointed by the United States Treasury Dept. expert for gathering information. Gen.McRae died on Apr.23,1899.-per FAG: Civil War Confederate Brigadier General. A native of Baldwin County, Alabama, he was a first son and eldest of 11 children. Receiving a primary education from a private tutor, he became a graduate of the University of South Carolina in 1849. His father’s death in the same year of his graduation, made it necessary for his return to his mother’s side in Arkansas to assist in the management of the family farm and plantation. Moving to Searcy, Arkansas in 1853, he studied law and subsequently became a lawyer after his admittance to the Arkansas Bar Association. The citizens of White County, Arkansas elected him county and circuit clerk in 1856. He remained at this station up until the time of the firing on Fort Sumter in 1861. He became Inspector General in the Arkansas militia and was authorized to organize a regiment of troops that would become the 21st Arkansas Infantry. After its organization, he was made its Colonel and commander. Assigned to serve in Brigadier GeneralBenjamin McCulloch's Brigade, he led his regiment during the fighting at the Missouri battle of Wilson’s Creek. An honorable mention in McCulloch’s official report of this 1861 battle affirms that “he led his regiment into action with the greatest coolness, being always in the front of his men”. During the pivotal 1862 Arkansas battle of Pea Ridge (aka The battle of Elkhorn or Elkhorn Tavern), McRae's regiment again earned praise for its gallant and meritorious actions from the commanding officer who led the defeated Confederate forces there, General Earl Van Dorn. He was commissioned a Brigadier General on November 5, 1862. In 1863, he had an active role in the little known battle of Helena, Arkansas, a diversion battle that Confederates surmised would relieve the city of Vicksburg, Mississippi and Confederate General John Clifford Pemberton forces there from the smothering siege of Union GeneralUlysses S. Grant (the attempt failed and Pemberton surrendered Vicksburg to federal forces on July 4, 1863). Thereafter, he remained primarily in Arkansas commanding his men at the battles at Mark’s Mill and Jenkins’ Ferry. Taking leave from the Confederate army, he resigned his commission of Brigadier General in November, 1864 and return to his Searcy law practice. He received an eventual pardon on August 8, 1866. Entering public service in the post-war years, he was elected to the position of Deputy Secretary of State of Arkansas; served as Commissioner for Arkansas at the World’s Fair in New Orleans and became Vice President of the Bureau of Emigration for Arkansas. Suffering from the effects of a stroke the last two years of his life, he died in 1899 in Searcy, Arkansas  (bio by: Stonewall)

He served until the close of the war, and was in all the engagements participated in by the regiment. In 1863 he was promoted to second lieutenant. He was a brave and gallant soldier, He was a Mason, and was buried by them at Collegeville, eight miles from Benton, his former home.

Memorial Park:Arkansas, Prairie Grove: MEMORIAL PARK AT PRAIRIE GROVE, ARK.-BY DAVID W. ADAMS, PRAIRIE GROVE, ARK. The Prairie Grove Chapter, U, D. C., has undertaken the establishment of a Confederate Memorial Park on a part of the battlefield at this place. On Sunday, December 7, 1862, this village was the scene of a spirited and hotly contested engagement between the Confederates under troops of Gen. Thomas C. Hindman and the Federals under   Herron, reenforced by Blunt during the day. It is maintained that Hindman carried the day, his men acquitting themselves with great credit. Although they took up their march southward during the succeeding night, they withdrew leisurely, and their adversaries showed not the slightest disposition to risk the hazard of pursuit. Our people are determined in behalf of the Prairie Grove Confederate Memorial Park. This town of some twelve hundred souls has just cause for self gratulation in the fact that our Daughters of the Confederacy have inaugurated this park scheme and are meeting with remarkable success. Last August they bought nine acres of the battlefield at $100 per acre, and they have made and paid on this purchase all but $390, more than one half of the purchase price.-p.10  Confederate Veteran January 1909-The Prairie Grove Memorial Park Association has been chartered by the State of Arkansas. Its Board of Trustees is composed of Dr. W. B. Welch (Chairman) this grand old man was in attendance upon the wounded during this engagement, and by his skill and zeal made everybody his friend, and he still stands humbly yet grandly true to every righteous impulse Hon. R. O. Hannah (Commander Prairie Grove Camp, U. C. V). Mrs. Margaret Mock, Mrs. J. H. Zellner, Mrs. M. Parks, all daughters of Confederate soldiers. The officers of the Association are: President, Mrs, Laura E. Beeton Hildebrand, Secretary, Mrs. J. P. Edmiston, Custodian of the Fund, Mrs. W. T. Neale. All are interested and zealous. All the officers are efficient, the Chapter is burning with zeal, sharpened and spurred on by enthusiasm, and the noble work in hand is sure of completion. It will be a happy realization of the lofty aims and purposes of its projectors.This is the only Confederate Memorial Park west of the Mississippi River, and when enlarged, improved, and embellished, as it surely will be, it will be a consummation, an attraction, a hallowed spot like unto none in our Western Southland. The movement deserved success, its managers and helpers will wear crowns of victory like as the ones whose deeds are to be commemorated.There is a large Confederate park, it will be remembered, near Fort Worth, Tex., and there are other Confederate properties , but the correspondent at Prairie Grove, Ark., evidently claims distinction as a "memorial" park.

Asa Morgan was born in Georgia, and died in February, 1909, in his eighty sixth year, at Camden, Ark. He moved while a young man from Georgia to Arkansas, and practically grew up in that State, receiving the liberal education that large means made possible.'

Colonel Morgan raised and equipped in the town of Eldora from his own purse Company A of the 1st Arkansas, which served with distinction on the line of the Potomac, participating in the battle of First Manassas. Upon reorganization his company was transferred to the Western Army, where he served as staff officer under General Johnston, and was with him in the battle of Shiloh. His war record, grand as it was, is equaled by his character as a Christian gentleman, which, added to his executive ability, sent him on several important missions to Washington for the benefit of his State, Colonel Morgan possessed in a high degree the loving trust and confidence of his many friends, and he was ever a credit to the State of Arkansas.

After the war he was a useful citizen of Arkadelphia, Ark., esteemed for his integrity and public spirit. His death is a loss to the community. There can be no better eulogy on the life of a brave man than has been given of Comrade Murphy by Col. William H. Stewart, of Portsmouth, Va., who wrote of him to the Daughters of the Confederacy at Arkadelphia in September, 1910: "This is to certify that I was captain of Company A, 61st Virginia Regiment of Infantry, and was promoted to major and later to lieutenant colonel of the regiment, commanding it in many of the battles in Virginia.

He was one of the bravest and truest men of the regiment. He well deserves a Cross of Honor." What Colonel Stewart said of him during those four years of war may be truly said of the remaining years of his life.

Buried:Oaklawn Cemetery, Batesville, Ark.-Tstone/Picture-Service Unit:1st Ark.Mounted Riflemen, Co.K, Orderly Sgt, Lieutentant.-Confederate Veteran:v.15,p.183- GEN. ROBERT NEILL. Robert Neill was born in Independence County, Ark., November 12, 1838, and died in Batesville, same county, February 16, 1907. In 1860 he was elected surveyor of his county, and served as such until he enlisted in the first company which was organized in that county for the Confederate service, of which he was elected orderly sergeant, and which became Company K, 1st Regiment Arkansas Mounted Riflemen, Col. T. J. Churchill. Sergeant Neill was severely wounded in the battle of Oak Hills, Mo., August 10, 1861, but he sufficiently recovered to accompany his regiment east of the Mississippi River after it was dismounted. About that time he was promoted to a lieutenancy, in which capacity he commanded the company in the battle of Richmond, Ky. He was with it in the advance on Covington, Ky., when the Confederate forces pushed to within four miles of that city. He participated in the battle of Murfreesboro, Tenn., in December, 1862, and later was sent west of the river on recruiting duty, where he was detained several months, and in an effort to recross the river after the fall of Vicksburg was captured and held as a prisoner of war and confined in Fort Delaware until June, 1865. In 1866 he was elected Clerk of the Circuit Court of Independence County, and served as such until removed from office by the carpetbag reconstruction of the State in 1868. Later he was licensed to practice law, and soon became known as a safe counselor and a successful advocate, painstaking, conservative, and reliable, and for years past he steadily maintained his position at the head of the bar in his county. In 1874 Comrade Neill was appointed brigadier general of the State Guard by Gov. A. H. Garland, and was conspicuous among the leaders of the people when the carpetbag yoke was successfully thrown off and the State restored to the rightful control of its best citizenship. For several years he served as a member of the Batesville School Board and of the Town Council, in the former capacity aiding largely in bringing the local public school to a state of efficiency and in the erection of the superior group of buildings now in use under his supervision , while in the latter capacity he contributed largely to the general improvement of the town, prominent among the permanent benefits being the bridge across Polk Bayou, which was secured largely through his untiring efforts. In 1892 General Neill was elected to Congress as the first Representative from the Sixth Congressional District of Arkansas, and was reelected in 1894, rendering valuable service throughout two terms. It was through his efforts that the United States District Court was located at Batesville, creating the necessity for the splendid building which has since been erected, and the first appropriation was made for a survey of White River, which resulted in the beginning of the system of locks and dams in that river to secure permanent navigation. When the railroad commission was created by the Legislature of 1899, General Neill was appointed and confirmed as a member of it, being elected chairman by his associates, and he largely shaped the course of the commission in putting the law into effect. Later as a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Batesville Improvement District he assisted in negotiating the sale of the bonds, letting the contract and supervising the erection of the water and light plant of his home town. At all times active and positive in his affection for his native county and State, whatever tended to the development and betterment of either received his hearty and loyal support. His last semipublic service was as chairman of the committee which secured the contributions for and superintended the erection of the Confederate monument in the courthouse grounds in Batesville. In 1869 General Neill was happily married to Miss Mary A. Byers, and of this union ten children were born, of whom four sons and three daughters grew to maturity and useful citizenship. The wife and six children survive the husband and father. The greatest sorrow of General Neill's life was the untimely death of his eldest son, Arthur Neill, Adjutant General of the State of Arkansas during the Spanish American War, which occurred less than two years ago. Shut up to the limited school privileges of the country during the period of his boyhood, General Neill was thrown upon his own reading and study for the acquisition of the mental equipment which he used so effectively, but the breadth of his reading, which he retained with wonderful accuracy, was the source of constantly recurring surprise to those who had been blessed with better advantages in their youth. As a man, as a soldier, as a citizen, and as a friend. General Neill's prominent characteristics were a single hearted devotion to duty as he saw it and a rugged honesty that commanded the respect of all who knew him. [This tribute is by James P. Coffin.] on FAG: US Congressman. Elected to represent Arkansas' 6th District in the United States House of Representatives, serving from 1893 to 1897.

Parham, W. C., Colonel-Text:On the morning of March 29 the end came to the life of Col. W. C. Parham in the little town of Benton, Ark. a life well spent in the service of others. He had taught in colleges, in public schools, and in his own private school, and it was perhaps in the latter that he did his greatest work. It was said that he might ride from the State of Kentucky to the Rocky Mountains and on to the Gulf of Mexico and spend every night in the home of his students. Colonel Parham was born in Virginia in 1838, and was prepared for college under the tutorship of the celebrated George Stone, a classmate of William IV. He graduated at the age of nineteen from old William and Mary College, and later received from that institution the degree of Master of Arts. He moved to Mississippi when a young man, remained there a short while, then moved to Arkansas and afterwards to Texas, but later went back to Arkansas, where he ended a long and useful career. He chose the profession of teaching, and followed it continuously for nearly fifty five years. *When the War of the States broke out, he offered his services to the Confederacy, but was rejected on account of his physical condition. He was a teacher in St. John's College at Little Rock when the Brooks Baxter War arose, and was in charge of affairs at that institution and received Governor Baxter and harbored him till the arrival of Colonel Gray, when the Brooks forces drove the Governor from the Statehouse. He was an enthusiastic member of David 0. Dodd Camp of Confederate Veterans at Little Rock. He never accumulated much wealth. He owned some slaves and farms at the beginning of the war, but lost them in that struggle. It is said that he literally kept himself poor by giving all he made to those in need.

A privately printed edition of one hundred copies of his poems was issued for his friends years ago, but, strange to say, although stray verses from his pen had been copied ill almost every newspaper in the country, his poems have never been published for general circulation until this time. No little interest has been aroused by an edition which has just been brought out by the Gazette Publishing Company, Little Rock, Ark., 8vo, pp. 530, half Morocco. Price, $2.50. The volume contains about one hundred and fifty poems, most of which are perfect gems, including "Hymns to the Gods," which Christopher North, editor of Blackwood's Magazine, said entitled Pike to "take his rank in the highest order of his country's poets." His "Every Year" is beautiful but pathetic, and others will delight any lover of poetry.Implicit faith may be given to any proposition the Gazette makes, and copies of this rare work will be unprocurable later on.p.242 Confederate Veteran June 1900. Per FAG: Confederate Brigadier General. Although he was born and raised in Massachusetts and was against both slavery and secession he was unwilling to support the Union cause and joined the Confederate Army, being commissioned a brigadier general on November 21, 1861. In 1831 he left Massachusetts and ventured west where he joined a party of trappers and hunters on expeditions that led him to Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico before settling in Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1834. In Arkansas he became a teacher, editor and owner of a newspaper as well as a successful lawyer. He was an advocate for the Native American Indians and helped garner a three million dollar settlement for the Choctaw Indians from the US Senate. With the outbreak of the Mexican War he joined the cause, commanding a troop of volunteer cavalry that was credited for its honorable performance at the Battle of Buena Vista. After the war he assumed his law practice. In 1849 he was admitted, along with Abraham Lincoln, to practice before the US Supreme Court. At the start of the Civil War he assisted General Ben McCulloch in formulating alliances American Indian tribes. After being commissioned brigadier general he led a brigade of Native Americans at the Battle of Pea Ridge. His charges did not perform well and allegations made regarding his troops' conduct forced him to resign his commission, be arrested and be briefly imprisoned in Texas. Distrusted and held in contempt by many Southerners and considered a traitor by many Northerners he spent several years after the war as a wanderer. He lived in New York in 1865 but fled to Canada after being accused of inciting an Indian revolt. President Andrew Johnson pardoned him in August of 1865 and he returned to Arkansas where he was charged with treason. After vindicating himself he moved to Memphis, Tennessee to practice law and edit a newspaper before settling in Washington DC where he continued his practice and edited The Patriot. Although he lived a wild and colorful life as a frontiersman and soldier he may be best known for his writings. He was an avid reader who loved the classics and became proficient in Hebrew, Greek, Latin and French. During his lifetime this complex and controversial man wrote Prose Sketches and Poetry Written in the Western Country (reportedly the first published work dealing with the area west of Arkansas), Hymns to God and Other Poems, Lyrics and Love Songs, Maxims of the Roman Law and Some of the Ancient French Law, as Expounded and Applied in Doctrine and Jurisprudence and Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. He died at the house of the Scottish Rite Temple in Washington DC at the age of 81. (bio by: Bigwoo)

All were good soldiers and true Southerners. M. A. Haralson gave a leg to the cause of the South, M. H. Weathers's case was a peculiar one. All his relatives in Arkansas went to the Federals, but he stood firm with his Southern neighbors and friends. Not one of these or their parents owned any negroes. Some of their kinsfolk who owned slaves went North to save them, but lost negroes and honor all the same. Some of these above were poor in this world's goods, but rich in honor, as all Confederates are with few exceptions. On FAG:Goodspeed’s Biography: Joseph Potts, farmer, Potts Station, Ark. The father of our subject, Kirkbride Potts, was born in the Keystone State but in his youthful days removed to New Jersey, and from there to Missouri in 1820. After residing in the last named State for a few years he came to Arkansas and was married there in February, 1828, to Miss Permelia Logan, a native of Wayne County, Mo. Their union resulted in the birth of nine children -- seven sons and two daughters. The mother of these died in August, 1878, and the father in November of the next year, when seventy-six years of age. Joseph Potts, one of the above-mentioned children, was born November 27, 1831, in Pope County, Ark., and here he obtained his growth and received his education. During the war he enlisted in the Confederate Army, Capt. Scott's company, Brook's battalion of cavalry, and his first engagement was at Elkhorn, Ark. After that he was sent east of the Mississippi River, and was wounded and captured at the bloody battle of Corinth. He was sent to Vicksburg and exchanged in 1863. After this he was sent to the hospital at Clinton, Miss., where he remained three weeks and was then sent to Grenada to join his command. He was in the battle at Baker's Creek, and he and his whole command were captured the next day at Black River. They were put on boats, sent up the Mississippi River, and when about twenty miles above Memphis, during the night, he and his brother, Richard, and another man, jumped overboard and swam ashore. Thus Mr. Potts made his escape and made his way to Pope County, Ark., where he remained until September, 1863, or until Dardanelle was captured by Federal troops. He then joined the Confederate Army in Perry County, Ark., and was in the Mark's Mill engagement under Gens. Fagan, Shelby and Marmaduke against Gen. Steele of the United States Army. His command was disbanded at Arkadelphia, and after surrendering at Little Rock, he returned home in June, 1865. He began farming and in this occupation he continued until 1872, since which time he has been station agent and postmaster at Potts Station. He still owns his farm of 200 acres and of this he has 125 acres under cultivation. He is now fifty-eight years of age and is single in life. He is a Democrat in politics and has always been a liberal contributor to schools, education, churches and, in fact, to all enterprises for the good of his country

In 1849 he was elected Governor of the State of Arkansas, serving as such for four years in succession. Upon secession of Arkansas from the Union, like all true sons of the South, he promptly took up arms, and was soon appointed brigadier general, and commanded a brigade with the usual gallantry and ability until the end came, when he returned to his once beautiful but now desolate home on his plantation near Pine Bluff, where on Apr.17,1867, he died suddenly of neuralgia of the brain.

The duel took place, but neither man was harmed in the incident. Roane became the fourth governor of Arkansas, serving from 1849 to 1852. He replaced Thomas Drew, who had resigned his office. Roane did not seek re-election. During the course of his term, Calhoun County and Sebastian County were added to the state of Arkansas, and funding for education was increased. Roane married Mary K. Smith, and the couple had five children. Roane later served as a Brigadier General during the Civil War, and fought at the Battle of Prairie Grove. Following the war, he returned to Pine Bluff.

Rogers, John Henry-Died:Apr.16,1911 Little Rock, Ark.-Buried:Oak Cemetery, Ft.Smith, Ark.-Soldier, lawyer, Congressman, and jurist, was born on a plantation near Roxobel, Bertie County, N. C., October 9, 1845, the third child of Absalom and Harriet Rogers, and grandson of William Rogers, a farmer and mechanic, who lived and reared a family of twelve children in Pitt County, N. C. His father was a wealthy planter before the war, but, being deprived of his slaves and everything but his lands, was reduced to poverty by that disaster. In 1852 the family, consisting of his parents, brothers, and two sisters, removed to a cotton plantation in Madison County, Miss. He attended schools near his home until 1861, and, in addition to the ordinary branches and a little Latin and Greek, he acquired some proficiency in military drill. This accomplishment he made useful at the outbreak of the war, when he was chosen drillmaster of those of his schoolmates who were over fifteen years of age, and in the following fall he acted as instructor of a company of home guards, although most of its members were between forty and sixty years of age. In March, 1862, he was mustered into the Ninth Regiment, Mississippi Infantry, at Canton, Miss., as a private. In the battle of Munfordville (Green River), Ky., he was wounded while charging the enemy's breastworks. He was subsequently in the battles of Murfreesboro (Stone River), Tenn., Chickamauga, Ga" Mission Ridge, near Chattanooga, Tenn., and Resaca, Ga. He was in the engagements before Atlanta, July 26 and 28, 1864, and was wounded at Jonesboro, Ga., in September, 1864. He fought at Franklin, Tenn., November 30, 1864, and at Nashville, Tenn., December 15, 1864. In April, 1865, although but nineteen years of age, he was promoted by special order of Gen. Johnston to the rank of first lieutenant, and he commanded Company F of the Ninth Mississippi Regiment until the capitulation of Johnston's army. Returning home by foot, about one thousand miles, he began reviewing his studies, and entered Center College, Danville, in September, 1865, and the University of Mississippi in 1867, where he was graduated in 1868. He was admitted to the bar at Canton, Miss. After teaching a short time, he began his legal practice at Fort Smith, Ark., in February, 1869, and shortly after his arrival at that place entered the office of Judge William Walker. From 1871 to 1874 he was in partnership with that eminent lawyer, for the following three years he practiced alone, and then for five years served as first circuit judge of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit. This office he resigned, on account of impaired health, in May, 1882, and in the following November was elected a member of Congress, where he served in the forty eighth, forty ninth, fiftieth, and fifty first Congresses. Throughout his public career he made few set speeches, but worked laboriously on committees, and took an active part in the daily proceedings. During the last six years he was a member of the Judiciary Committee, and especialy devoted his energies to securing legislation amending the criminal laws of the United States, and reorganizing the Federal judiciary system. He was successful in securing the writ of error to persons convicted of felony, and witnessed the creation of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, largely the outcome of his own persistent efforts to have them established as a remedy for the congested condition of the business of the Supreme Court. The bill passed was, however, only a modification of his own plan of abolishing the Circuit Courts, and making the District Courts the great repository of original jurisdiction, civil and criminal, while the Circuit Courts of Appeal should be composed of the circuit judges then in office and two others to be appointed. Thus a stable court of three judges would be secured, and the supreme judges relieved of all Circuit Court duty. The Supreme Court of the United States would be a great constitutional court, but would retain limited supervisory control, as before, over the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, to the end that harmony of decision on questions of general law might be secured. Such an arrangement Judge Rogers still hopes to see established, and is encouraged by the fact that it has already been partially adopted in the Eighth Circuit, where four circuit judges now constitute the court.-p.263 Confederate Veteran June 1903-.in the fifty first Congress Judge Rogers came prominently before the public as the opponent of the Speaker, his speeches assailing what he believed to be the arbitrary and oppressive conduct on the part of that official being published by the press throughout the country. Many of these speeches, in their biting satire and argument, were considered masterpieces of their kind. In the interest of his constituents he secured, while in Congress, the passage of a bill donating the abandoned United States military reservation adjoining the city of Fort Smith to that city in trust for the public schools, which have since realized a munificent trust fund from this source. He also secured the construction of a handsome public building for use as a post office and by the United States courts, and of a commodious prison, while through his efforts a United States Circuit Court was established at Fort Smith in place of a United States District Court formerly held there, which had Circuit Court powers, and exercised jurisdiction over a part of the State of Arkansas, and criminal jurisdiction over all the Indian Territory, Retiring from public life, after the fifty first Congress, Judge Rogers practiced law at Fort Smith, in partnership with James F. Read, until November, 1896, when he was appointed by President Cleveland successor of Hon. I. C. Parker, late United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. He is President of the Board of Education of Fort Smith. In 1895, on the occasion of his delivery of the annual address to the alumni of Center College at Danville, Ky., that institution conferred upon him the honorary degree of LL.D. Judge Rogers was married October 9, 1873, to Mary Gray, only daughter of Dr. Theodore Dunlap and Elizabeth Gray, of Danville, Ky. Four sons and one daughter are living, their first child, Theodora, having died at the age of two years.-Text:The passing away of Judge John H. Rogers, of the United States Court (appointed by President Cleveland), who died recently in Little Rock, will sadden many a comrade and friend at the Reunion. He was holding court in Little Rock, and, failing to appear, as was his custom at the hour of opening, a messenger was sent to his room, and found him dead. Heart affection evidently caused death. Judge Rogers was born in Bertie County, N. C., October 9, 1845. His father reared a family of twelve children in Pitt County, N. C., but removed the family to Madison County, Miss., in 1852. He was a wealthy man of the time. In addition to an academic education, John Rogers became efficient in military matters, and in his eighteenth year enlisted in the 9th Mississippi Infantry at Canton in March, 1862. Early in his service he was wounded in the foot at Munfordville, Ky. He was in the battles of Murfreesboro and Chickamauga, and then did his part in the Atlanta campaign, and was wounded again at Jonesboro, Ga. He was in the battles of Franklin and Nashville. As first lieutenant of his company, he was in command at the end. Returning home from Mississippi (marching on foot about one thousand miles), he soon entered college, and finished his education at the University of Mississippi in 1867. He taught school for a time, and began the practice of law in Fort Smith, Ark., which place was ever afterwards his home. In the early seventies he was a partner of Judge William Walker, and later was circuit judge for five years, but resigned on account of impaired health. He next served in three Congresses, the Forty Eighth and on to the Fifty first consecutively. While in Congress he became eminent in many ways. He was most conspicuous in combating the arbitrary methods of the Speaker. He was made United States judge in 1896, and continued in office till his death. Ill October, 1873, Judge Rogers was married to Miss Mary Gray, only daughter of Dr. Theodore Dunlap, of Danville, Ky. Four sons and one daughter were born to them. Miss Rogers will be delightfully remembered with her father on the occasion of his delivering the great address, "The South Vindicated," at the New Orleans Reunion, published in the VETERAN for June, 1903, and extensively in pamphlet form. While Judge Rogers was a prominent and most useful man, it was with those who knew him intimately that his charming personality created ardent affection. Vol.19,1911-on FAG:Picture/Tstone

Rye, at Fort Smith, Ark., on December 19, 1907, marked the passing of one who had been unfaltering in his devotion to the Southern cause and who was most active in the four years of strife. In January, 1861, he enlisted with Company A, 1st Battalion Arkansas Cavalry, organized and commanded by Capt. John R. H. Scott, in which he served as second sergeant the first year of the war. In the spring of 1862, when the army was reorganized, he became a private soldier, and later on was made a member of the band, with which he remained until the siege of Vicksburg, After passing through that terrible siege from April 17 to July 4, he was paroled with the army that surrendered at that place. He and a few companions then crossed the Mississippi River and returned to their homes, in Pope  County, until exchanged.   The first battle in which he participated after that was at Prairie DeHand, Ark., and the last at Dardanelle, and the surrender at Hempstead, Ark. Of this family, two brothers had been killed in the war. Capt. Dave Rye was killed in a skirmish in Arkansas in the latter part of the war, and Jimmy Rye was wounded in the siege of Vicksburg, and died from the effects of amputation of leg. In December, 1869, Comrade Rye was married to Miss Nannie Dunbar, of Graves County, Ky. Because of her activity in giving aid and information to the Confederate forces, Miss Dunbar was banished from her home in 1864, and remained away until the final surrender. She is left with a daughter and son to cheer her declining years. As evidence of his strict regard for his word, however lightly given, the picture shows Comrade Rye with long hair, it having been left unshorn during the four years of war   a wager between him and his colonel. Appreciating the situation, his sisters curled his hair and persuaded him to have his picture taken, as here given. On FAG

As the country was new, his educational opportunities were meager. He enlisted for the war before he was seventeen, and served west of the Mississippi. He was discharged near Marshall, Texas, in May, 1865, from Co.B-32nd Ark.Volunteers, Roan’s Brigage, Churchill’s Division. Upon returning home he leared that his father had died the March preceding. In the fall of 1867 he removed to Southwest Arkansas, and early in 1868 went to Bossier Parish, La., which was afterwards his home. Everything that tended to the upbuilding of his section had his cordial cooperation, and he was especially interested in the farm and fruit industry of the State. He was a prominent member of the Grange and Farmer’s Alliance, was a charter member of the Texas Horticultural Society, and a member and Vice President for Louisiana of the National Nurserymen’s Association.

His patriotism and his manly courage made him conspicuous in the ranks, and he was often selected to carry the colors of the regiment at perilous times. In the battle of Murfreesboro his arm was shattered by a grapeshot, but, catching the flagstaff with the other hand, he heroically bore it throughout the fight, refusing to transfer it to another. Again, when the Confederate line was being pressed back by superior numbers, the colonel of the 1st Arkansas dashed up to Sanders and said, "Give me the colors!" but the ensign refused, saying: "Colonel, I am color bearer, and will carry the colors wherever you order."Mr. Sanders directly after the war married Miss Mary Young, daughter of I.

Scales, Dabney Minor, Lieut. Commander-Text: Dabney Minor Scales was born on June 1, 1841, near Holly Springs, Miss. His father was a typical Southern planter and gentleman of the family which settled in colonial days in Virginia and North Carolina. He was appointed to Annapolis and was in his last year and ready for service in the navy at the outbreak of the war between the North and South. Believing, as our forefathers did and as the truth taught us, that the United States was created as an association of sovereign States and that the first duty of every citizen was to the sovereign State in which he was born, he unhesitatingly accepted the call to duty from his State and took his place in the ranks of her sons. His first asignment was upon the Mississippi River, opposing the naval forces of the United States in the effort to close the navigation of that water, and here he found service in line with his training, holding back ships from the Gulf and gunboats from the North. He was a lieutenant on the gunboat Arkansas, a vessel especially constructed for this service, and won applause and public recognition for conspicuous courage in restoring to its place the flag of his vessel, which had been cut down by a shot from the enemy, an act which required him to pass over the exposed deck during the hottest fire of the engagement. After the surrender of Vicksburg, Lieutenant Scales saw service on the Atlantic between the coast line of the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and the West Indies in protecting blockade runners, obstructing enemy shipping, and inflicting heavy losses wherever possible. During the last years of the conflict, in company with others of his class from the Southern States, he was stationed in Europe and spent much time in London and Paris upon service of the Confederate government incident to outfitting and manning vessels constructed in England for the Confederacy. This service terminated with an assignment as second in command of the Shenandoah, which sailed as a cruiser in Atlantic and Pacific waters during the last year and even after the close of the conflict, for it was many months after the surrender at Appomattox before by the capture of a small vessel the officers and crew of the Shenandoah learned that the Confederate government had ceased to exist. Sailing by Cape Horn to avoid capture, this last armed foe of the United States found her way to Liverpool, and her officers and crew disbanded, and each in his own way sought his home port. For reasons of prudence not necessary to mention Lieunant Commander Scales considered it best to seek a new home and country and did not return to his former allegiance, but, in common with others of the Southern cause, went to Mexico and spent several months to try out the land. Finding this experience unsatisfying and political conditions of his State somewhat more promising, he returned to the home of his boyhood, and in a few months more established himself in Memphis and began the practice of law in the office of Kortrecht and Craft about the year 1869. [The record above was written by his office associate, William W. Goodwin.] He was married in Nashville to Mrs. W. D. Powell, a daughter of the late Maj. George W. Winchester, by which union there were three children: Dabney M., jr., who died; George W. Scales, now living in Wyoming; and a daughter, now Mrs. Yates Wellford, of Memphis. During the administration of Gov. Peter Turney he was elected a member of the Tennessee Legislature and served with his usual faithfulnss in the Senate. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War he offered his services to the United States government, which were accepted. He was commissioned a lieutenant in the navy and engaged in actual sea service during the entire war, after which he received his honorable discharge. He became a member of the Memphis Confederate Historical Association on March 12, 1884, and continued a valuable member until his death. He was honored with the presidency of the Association, and consequently was Commander of Camp 28, U. C. V., and Bivouac No. 18, Tennessee Soldiers' Association. He was one of the original members of Company A and took part in its famous competitive drill against the Chickasaw Guards in 1894. Afterwards he was elected a lieutenant of the company and then captain, which position he held until his death. He was a devout Christian gentleman and a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church. As a citizen he was always in the forefront of any movement looking toward the benefit of his city, his State, and his country. As a man he was singularly sincere and just and conscientious; his manner was gentle, but in principle he was firm as a rock. In his death, on May 26, 1920, his comrades have lost a friend and companion, his family a devoted father, and the city and State a valuable citizen, too few of whose type now remain.[Committee: Edward Bourne, Chairman; M.

Capt. C. C. Scott, of Arkadelphia, Ark., fell asleep at his home June 26, 1920, after a short illness. The end came peacefully to a long and busy life, a life of most unselfish devotion to duty, a life of marvelous sweetness and beauty. He was born in Gainesville, Ala., on March 12, 1839, the third son of Judge C. C. Scott. In the year 1844 the Scott family removed to Camden, Ark., where Captain Scott was reared. In 1861 he enlisted in the Camden Knights, the first company from that section to take up arms in defense of the South, serving under General Fagan for one year in the Virginia campaign. He participated in the battles of Manassas and Corinth and was also at Hatchie Bridge, where for his bravery he was known to his comrades and to Southern historians as "the hero of Hatchie Bridge." The following year he assisted in organizing the Appeal Battery and was elected lieutenant, serving with distinction until the death of his captain during the siege of Vicksburg, when he succeeded in command. After the exchange of prisoners following the capture of Vicksburg, Captain Scott was transferred to the Trans-Mississippi Department, where his battery was incorporated into the 5th Arkansas Battalion, which finally surrendered in Marshall, Tex. Returning to his home in Camden, Captain Scott took up the practice of law, but later decided to embark in the mercantile business, removing to Arkadelphia in 1869. From that year until within a week of his passing he was a member of the Smoker Mercantile Company, for many years the business manager. His whole life was one of remarlcable fidelity in his business, in his family life, and in his citizenship. His friends were numbered by the hundreds, and to one and all he was a help and inspiration. In addition to many noble qualities of mind and heart, he possessed an unfailing fund of humor, which made him a charming companion for old and young alike. Young boys and girls felt at home with him, and little children instinctively held out their arms for his embrace. He was a devout communicant of the Protestant Episcopal Church, broad in his sympathy with all movements for the uplift of humanity. To the surviving members of his family, his wife, children, and grandchildren, we tender sincere condolence, and as we stand by his new-made grave let us lift up our hearts in thanksgiving for his good example and for the faith which assures us of his safe-keeping in the paradise of God.

Scott, Fannie M., Miss-Died 1901 Little Rock, Ark.-Confederate Veteran:v.9, p.274-Text:Miss Fannie M.Scott, who died recently at Little Rock, Ark., was one of the most loyal and devoted members of the U.D.C. She was indeed one of the most delightful in her State of charming women. At Hot Springs in 1898, it was said that no State ever had a finer delegation than had Arkansas, and Miss Fannie Scott was conspicuous in the assembly. She had done, perhaps, more than any other woman in the State for the caus, especially in the building of the handsome Confederate monument at the Fairview Cemetery, Van Buren. This is largely her monument. Miss Scott was honored by being made Lady Manager for Arkansas at the World’s Columbian Expostion at Chicago in 1893, and her cordial welcome and warm hospitality to visitors at the Arkansas building will remain to the multitude a pleasant memory. For her services at that time she received many trophies of recognition. She was named :Arkansas Daughter,” and this was engraved on the silver plate of her casket.

Scott was born in Mooresville, Ala., January 28, 1838. He was educated at Huntsville, Ala., and at Princeton, Ark. He graduated from the Vicksburg (Miss.) Medical College, and from the New Orleans College of Surgery in 1859. He began the practice of medicine at Arkadelphia, Ark. Dr. Scott's direct ancestors served in all of the wars for independence from the Revolution down, and Dr. Scott himself was an honored Confederate war veteran. When the first call for volunteers from Arkansas came, in 1861, Dr. Scott enlisted in Company A, 1st Arkansas Infantry, and in May, 1861, his command was sent to Virginia. It served under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston during the first year of the war. He was one of those Arkansas boys who at Manassas Junction gave the famous Rebel yell that turned the tide of that battle. He was called from the field to the hospital to attend to the soldiers wounded in that battle, and served as assistant surgeon under Johnston until January, 1862, when a vacancy occurred on Gen. Joe Wheeler's staff, and Dr. Scott was appointed to fill the position of chief surgeon under Wheeler, which position he held until the close of the war. Dr. Scott and several other Arkadelphians were captured during the siege of Savannah. They escaped on rafts made of rice boats and crossed the river to the South Carolina side. When near Greensboro, they came up with President Davis and his family. Cabinet, and escort. Dr. Scott was among those who guarded the presidential party. Recrossing the Savannah River, the party camped near Whitesboro. On the morning of May 4 the guards were drawn up to the President's tent, and from a pay wagon each soldier received $26.50 of Mexican money, when they were disbanded. They started for the homes they had not seen for four terrible years. Just at nightfall they came upon a squad of Federals, who fed them and treated them well and the next morning gave them paroles. Dr. Scott returned to Arkadelphia and practiced his profession there until 1878, when he moved to Hot Springs, Ark. In 1882 he was elected President of the Board of Physicians of that place, and soon won the gratitude of that people. In 1897 he moved to Houston, Tex., and remained there until Texas called for volunteer physicians to go to the flood sufferers. Dr. Scott answered the call, and served the State in that capacity until no longer needed. He had become so well pleased with the climate of the coast that he made his home there until his death, October 1, 1906. During the epidemic of smallpox at Hot Springs Dr. Scott, though not an immune, administered to the stricken. At his death Dr. Scott was surgeon for his U. C. V. Camp and local surgeon Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fé Railroad. [This data is from Mrs. Laura Winfield Butler, née Scott.]
Scurry, William Read, General- Born:Feb.10,1821 Died:Apr.30,1864 Buried:Texas State Cemetery, Austin, Texas-Picture/Tstone-Text:Vol.30, p.37- THE NEW COMMANDER IN CHIEF. Judge Edgar Scurry, the newly elected Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, is a native of Texas, a son of Gen. William Read Scurry, who commanded a brigade in the Trans-Mississippi Department, C. S. A., and was killed at Jenkins's Ferry, Ark., while leading his brigade in a charge. General Scurry was a native of Sumner County, Tenn., and served as a colonel in the War with Mexico. Scurry County, Tex., was named in his honor. The mother of Judge Scurry was Miss Janette Sutton, of Mobile, Ala. He was born in Mission Valley, Victoria County, Tex., in 1857, but has been a resident of Wichita Falls for the past thirty years and actively engaged in the practice of law. He served as district attorney of the Thirtieth Judicial District and was also twice honored with the office of district judge. He has always taken an active part in political and civic matters and is fearless and aggressive in his convictions. Under his leadership the Sons of Veterans may be expected to carry through some important undertakings. The inscription under the picture of the old Henry House, as shown in the VETERAN for November-December, page 441, states that the elder Mrs. Henry was wounded during the progress of the battle as she lay in bed. This is evidently an error, as the inscription on the old tombstone states that she was killed.-on FAG: Civil War Confederate Brigadier General. William Scurry was born on February 10, 1821 in Gallatin, Tennessee, spending his youth working on his father's estate and studying law. He traveled to Texas on June 1839 and was issued a land grant in the San Augustine area the following year. By 1841 he was so respected for his legal writings that he was appointed the district attorney of the fifth judicial district; three years later he was elected to the Texas Congress, serving from 1844 to 1845. When the Mexican War broke out, he enlisted in George Wood's Second Regiment of the Texas Mounted Volunteers. He was so impressive during this time that he was promoted to major in July of 1846. After the war, he married Janette Sutton, returned to his law practice and ran the Austin State Gazette until 1854. After Texas had decided to side with the Confederate cause during the Civil War, Scurry enlisted as a lieutenant colonel of the Fourth Texas Cavalry. His military skills had not diminished since his time in the Mexican War, distinguishing himself at the Battle of Glorieta and the invasion of New Mexico. He was promoted to brigadier general on September 12, 1862 and continued his exceptional work in the CSA, playing a key role in the recapture of Galveston in early 1863. He was assigned to command the Third Brigade of Walker's Texas Division in October 1863 and led his men at the Battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill in early April 1864, then was given orders to repel the Union soldiers marching towards northeast Texas. Met them he did, on April 30, 1864, at the Battle of Jenkins Ferry. He was wounded in the leg during the battle, but refused to be carried to the rear, fearing that to do so would cause his troops to lose the morale needed to turn the enemy. When the Union soldiers overwhelmed the Confederates, his injury was forgotten for over two hours while the battle was fought around him; by the time his men had pushed them back, he was near death. After he was found, he asked "Have we whipped them?" Once he was assured that his men had been victorious, he asked to be moved to a house so that he could "be made comfortable and die easy." General William Read Scurry was buried with full military honors at the Texas State Cemetery. Within a few years, Scurry County, Texas was named for him.(bio by: Screwtape)

Buried:Maple Hill Confederate Cemetery, Helena, Ark.-Service Unit:5th Ark.Regt.-Confederate Veteran:v.20, p.485-Text: The life of Mark W. Searcy was an example of the heights to which human nature may attain, for few men live up to a higher standard. His rare personality radiated sunshine and he merited this saying: You always felt better for knowing and seeing him " He was of French Huguenot ancestry of South Carolina and was born in Cross County, Ark, near Wittsburg, on February 6, 1841. M. .Searcy was preparing to enter Chapel Hill University, North Carolina, when the call to arms came, and he spent the four years in active service for the honor of the South. Mr. Searcy's career as a soldier is of interest to others than his intimate friends and family, for during the four years of his enlistment valuable service is recorded. He enlisted in the 5th Arkansas Regiment on April 30, 1861, and was identified with Sanders's Battalion, serving under General Van Dorn. Throughout the Carolinas and Georgia he was with General Hood and Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. At the close of the war Mr. Searcy returned to Memphis, becoming identified with the life of the place. In 1874 he was married to Miss Mary A Rice, of Memphis. For a few years Mr. Searcy lived in Helena, Ark. He was one of the pioneer cotton men, and it was through his ability and progressive spirit that Helena was opened as a cotton port. At that time the cotton business was only local. He was indeed a true gentleman of the old stock, whose refinement and sweetness of nature was rare in the extreme, and he leaves a place that no one else can fill. He was a man of force and fixedness of purpose, never faltering as to his position, a man whose intellectual tastes predominated. He was always interested in uplifting, and although a man of no wealth, many instances are known where he gave modestly and in an altruistic spirit the material help toward education and its practical application. On the 25th of July, 1912, he passed away at his home in Memphis. He was laid to rest beside his three children in Maple Hill Cemetery at Helena, Ark. He is survived by his wife and three children, Elizabeth, Marguerite, and Albert. A friend has said: "Never was a husband and father more honored and loved than was he." A comrade said: "His name, memory, and manifold virtues have been enshrined in the hearts of his friends, and as long as they live he will be sweetly remembered." Surely the angel could record him as one who loved his fellow man. In Helena and Memphis he was honored. notonfag

On May 10,1861, at the age of sixteen, he was present at Camp Jackson, St.Louis, where Missourians first made armed resistance to the encroaching Federal power. Escaping to Memphis, Tenn., he joined a St.Louis company which was assigned to the 13th Ark.Regt. It was commanded by Capt. T.W.Bartlett, afterwards his brother in law, and another member was his brother, Hammett L.Stephenson, who became adjutant of the regiment. As a mere boy, Phillip Stephenson participated in the battle of Belmont, being wounded; and thereafter, in spite of his minority and poor health, he did his duty manfully to the end. Unfit for field duty, he served as assistant to Col.M.L.Clark, chief of Artillery, until able to rejoin his regiment. Though then discharged as a minor, he rejoined the 13th Arkansas, where he served again until he became a member of the 5th Co.of Washington Artillery in May, 1864. With this famous command he remained throughout the Georgia campaign, Hood’s expedition into Tennessee, and with the fall of Spanish Fort at Mobile. He surrendered at Meridian May 10,1865. It was his pride to have been one of Cleburne’s Division and of the Washington Artillery. Returning to his home, he followed the pious bent of his nature, and while working for a livelihood he qualified for the Presbyterian ministry and was licensed by the St.Louis Presytery on Apr.28,1875. He served as pastor successively at Trenton, Tenn., Sedalia, Mo., Hancock, Md., Abingdon and Woodstock, Va. When retired because of failing strength, he went to Richmond, where he was ever at the service of any brother of the pulpit whom he might aid on occasion and where he continued to the end of the beneficient work in which he delighted. His career covers the whole war. Begun by a boy, it was sustained by a youth frail in physique, but stron in character, who, true to his Virginia ancestry, devoted his life to his ideals and was a model soldier. And his service as a soldier in war was rounded out by his no less distinguished deeds as a soldier of the cross in his mature years. Ever brave, conscientious, inspired by high ideals, a nobleman was Phil Stephenson.

Stokes, on January 8. He was born in Frederick County, Md. in February, 1843, and at the outbreak of the war was studying surveying. In his eighteenth year he enlisted as a private in Company G, of Ashby's Virginia Cavalry. After the death of this gallant commander he was First lieutenant and aid de camp on the staff of Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, where he served till the close of the war. He served from the beginning in the Army of Northern Virginia, went through the Valley Campaign, battles around Richmond, invasion into Maryland, and many other engagements. In December of 1864 he went with  Gen.  Johnson, who was placed in charge at Salisbury, N.

After the war Comrade Stokes resumed his profession of civil engineering, surveying several railroads as well as much other work. In 1869 70 he was chosen as one of the chief engineers in survey of the Darien Ship Canal across the Isthmus of Panama, which was ordered by the United States government.

He had diligently served his Camp as adjutant since 1897, and his memory will he fondly cherished among his comrades so long associated with him.
Story, John Wesley, a member of Company I, had made a fine record as a soldier in all of the important engagements of Johnston's army, and at Bentonville he displayed such conspicuous gallantry, witnessed by Colonel Smith, that he was brevetted lieutenant on the field and thereafter commanded his company, Capt. Robert Bledsoe having been killed previously. To Lieutenant Story no higher tribute could be paid than that of Maj. George B. Guild Adjutant of the 4th Tennessee Cavalry, in his book entitled "A Brief Narrative of the Fourth Tennessee Cavalry Regiment," in which he says: "John W. Story, now a prominent member of the bar at Harrison, Ark., furnishes the casualty list of' Company I. He was the sergeant of his company for some time during the war and was one of the best we had. As adjutant of the regiment, I never had trouble with his reports or the many orders made on his company for information; they were always clear, concise, and exactly what was called for. He was made a lieutenant on the field of Bentonville for his bravery and efficiency in every duty as a soldier. He was in every engagement and was wounded twice in battle, on both occasions seriously." Of such a record his friends and relatives may well be proud. John W. Story was born in Fentress County, Tenn., in 1841. He graduated from the Law Department of Cumberland University in 1868 and practiced law at Lebanon, Tenn., and at Sherman, Tex., before going to Arkansas in 1885. In Harrison he was known as a lawyer of fine ability and upright character; he was an active Presbyterian, a stanch Democrat, and a Knight Templar. His death occurred in Birmingham, Ala., on March 10, 1916, and he was taken back to Arkansas and buried by the side of his wife in the old cemetery at Harrison. Two sons and a daughter survive him.

He was born at Winchester, Va. in 1839, the son of Rev. Horace Stringfellow and Harriet Strothers, attended the Episcopal High School, and graduated from William and Mary College in 1858. He later attended the Virginia Theological Seminary, at Alexandria, from 1859 to 1861, receiving his degree from this institution about the beginning of the War of the States. He immediately entered the Confederate service as a private, afterwards becoming a captain and serving in the ordnance department. He was under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston in the Peninsula Campaign and around Richmond in 1862. He went to Texas with General Magruder and was in the battle of Galveston. On December 16, 1863, while still in the service, he was married to Miss Alice, daughter of Dr. J. R. Johnston, of Seguin, Tex After the war he studied law for several years,, but never practiced. He was inclined toward horticulture, and in this he was eminently successful, having been a pioneer in this department of science, demonstrating its possibilities on the Gulf Coast. He planted the first pear orchard in 1882 and the first Satsuma orange orchard two years later at Hitchcock. To visit these he invited the members of the American Pomological Society in session at Austin in 1890, and the members attended in a body. He was a member of the Texas Farmers' Congress and all of the State horticultural societies. In the latter organizations he became quite prominent, having published a book on the subject. His "The New Horticulture" was published in several languages and became widely circulated. Mr. Stringfellow generously gave away the copyrights, both foreign and domestic, never having received a dollar of royalty for them. In 1899 Captain Stringfellow went to Lampasas, Tex., where he lived for ten years, contributing largely to the horticultural interests of that section. On account of his wife's health he removed to Fayetteville, Ark., in 1909, but his own health failed, which put an end to his horticultural pursuits. He built an elegant home there, spending his last days surrounded by every comfort and attended by his affectionate wife and daughter. Discarding the garb of the clergy, for which he was educated, Captain Stringfellow buckled on the sword in defense of his native land, and as a captain of ordnance he played a creditable part in the service of the Confederacy. Being a fine draftsman, he drew the plan for the Merrimac's construction into an iron clad after she was raised, for which he received honorable mention and many compliments. Wherever he lived he was known as one of the most public spirited, generous, progressive, and enterprising citizens, contributing largely to every effort at civic betterment and public welfare. In charity there are hundreds that can call him blessed. A kind and indulgent husband and father, a generous friend, he deserves to live in the memory of those who knew him. Besides his wife, he is survived by his daughter (Mrs. James J. Read, of Fayetteville), a sister (Mrs. Gilliam, of St Louis, Mo.), and relatives in Virginia. General Magruder in his report of the battle of Galveston states that Lieutenants Stringfellow, Jones, and Hill behaved with remarkable gallantry during the engagement, each of them volunteering to take charge of guns after the officers originally in charge had been wounded, and he designated Lieutenant Stringfellow to be promoted to captain.

V., writes: In 1861 the writer lived at Laconia, Desha County, Ark., and at the opening of the heroic conflict which then broke upon the country, he first knew Reginald H. Thompson, one of the bravest and most devoted actors on the side of the Southern cause. This patriotic, knightly character realized the danger to his beloved South while living in California, far removed from its scenes of action, where he might have pursued his peaceful avocations undisturbed, and hold aloof from the hazards and perils of the battlefield, the exposures of camp, and the weariness of the march. At that time no iron horse with its breath of steam traversed the pathless plains of the West or pierced the craggy peaks of the Rocky Mountains, and the long distance, with the perils of the journey, would have been an insuperable obstacle to one whose flame of patriotism burned low and flickering. But such was not the case with Col. Thompson, he loved the sunny South, his heart and soul were enlisted in the cause, and he crossed the rugged mountains and traversed the trackless plains, over many a weary mile, to unite with those who were willing to do or to die for her principles. This great sacrifice, independent of the risks and hardships he afterwards endured, entitle his memory to lasting record. This intrepid man, equally renowned as a soldier, a citizen, and a Christian, was accompanied from California by a kindred spirit, Capt. R. C. Flournoy a man animated with like zeal and inspired with the same courage. These two comrades, Flournoy and Thompson, recruited a company of infantry, of which Flournoy was elected captain, Thompson, first lieutenant, Flournoy's brother, senior second lieutenant, and the writer junior second lieutenant. This company reported to Gen. Leonidas Polk at Columbus, Ky., and was assigned to the Seventh Kentucky Infantry, under the command of Col. C. A. Wickliffe, and served with that regiment until after the battle of Shiloh, April 6 and 7, 1862. The two Flournoys having resigned on account of impaired health, Thompson became captain, and in May, 1862, the company was transferred to the Thirteenth Arkansas Infantry. After the battle of Chickamauga, in September, 1863, the Arkansas regiments were so depleted that several of them had to be consolidated to form one regiment. This relieved many officers of their commands, and a full complement of field and line officers were sent to Arkansas to recruit a new regiment. This regiment was soon raised, with John E. Josey as colonel, R. A. Duncan as lieutenant colonel, C. H, Carlton as major, and Thompson as one of the captains. Col. Josey was soon after killed in battle, Col. Duncan retired from service, Maj. Carlton became colonel, and Thompson lieutenant colonel. This regiment served most gallantly in Slemon's Brigade, Fagan's Division, until the end of the war. There was not in that heroic command a braver, truer, nobler soldier than Reginald H. Thompson. He was in the hottest of the battle around Shiloh's somber church, where men "became iron with nerves of steel," he took part in the rout of the Federal forces at Richmond, Ky., he was foremost in the bloody battle at Perryville, Ky., he was present at the fierce onsets from each side as the tide of victory ebbed and flowed from lines of gray to lines of blue in the battle of Murfreesboro, he was among the bravest of the brave at the glorious victory at Chickamauga, where amid the shriek of shot and shell he was as unmoved by fear as the eternal hills which were about him. Amidst the flash of bayonets, the rattle of musketry, the roar of artillery. and the shouts and groans of friends and foes he thought only of his cause and strove for its success. Col. Thompson was not less noted for his kindness, courtesy, and many virtues in camp and on the march, than he was honored for his valor on the battlefield. It was the writer's good fortune to mess with him and sleep with him under the same blanket (when we had one) from the beginning to the end of the great conflict. He was one of the purest Christians that I ever knew, and one of the most generous hearted men. I knew him to give his overcoat to a private soldier in the severe winter of 1863 64, when he himself was but thinly clad. For over three years I do not believe that he had one day of perfect health, but on the eve of battle, though in a hospital, sick, weak, and emaciated, he invariably responded in camp, and led his men to battle with a courage that knew no fear. In private he was a loveable character. He was respected and honored by all who knew him. He was honored with office for many years by his fellow citizens in the city of Louisville, Ky. He was admired and loved by all classes. A more touching scene I never witnessed than when his remains were brought out of his late residence to be laid in their final resting place. On the opposite side of the street, in vast but orderly assembly, were those he had loved and befriended when living. Orphans from the several homes, bootblacks and newsboys stood in solemn reverence, their hearts overflowing with a feeling of their loss, and singing with sympathetic harmony one of his favorite hymns. I loved Col. Thompson as a brother, I cherish his memory as a comrade in arms, I admire his valor as a soldier, his virtue as a citizen, his zeal as a patriot, and his honor as a man. With sympathy and sorrow for the bereaved partner of his life I add my feeble tribute to the character of her departed husband. His father was Robert A. Thompson, and his mother was Mary Smith Slaughter. both born in Culpepper County, Va. He was born October 31, 1836, and was educated at the University of Virginia. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Huwison Thompson on June 7, 1866. She was a daughter of William L. Thompson, of Jefferson County, Ky., and died in Louisville, Ky., April 10, 1899. notonfag

An excellent photo engraving was made at the time, with the in tention of publishing a sketch in the VETERAN, but it was deferred. A communication of much importance had been expected from him. He had expressed his anxiety and determination to write it but was called to Florida to attend a son through a severe illness and had delayed it. A note was written to remind him afresh, and his brother, Mr. Joseph H. Thompson, answered it saying: "My brother will be dead before this reaches you." Dr. Thompson has born in Tennessee, but a part of his childhood was spent in Texas. He enlisted as a private soldier but ere long was detached and assigned to an Arkansas regiment under Gen. Hindman. as surgeon. And subsequently he was transferred to the FortyFirst Tennessee, and will be remembered with pride and gratitude by members of that gallant command until the last man shall have lost his life.

Trawick was born in Carroll County, Tenn., October 8, 1846. His death occurred at Nashville, Tenn. In a reminiscence of his service in the army he wrote that he was residing in Clinton, Ark. when the war began and that he sought to join his brothers George and John, who had enlisted in the 10th Arkansas Regiment, but as he was under fifteen years, he was not allowed to go. In October, 1861, when another company was organized, he left school to go with it, and Was sworn into the 16th Arkansas on October 29, 1861. He gives in his diary a history of the movements of the regiment and their severe experiences in Arkansas. In March 16, 1862, they started on a forced march for Corinth, Miss., arriving there on April 12, a few days after the battle of Shiloh. When the army fell back, Bragg started into Kentucky, and the 16th Arkansas went under Price to Tupelo, Miss., remaining there until September 15, when it moved back to Iuka, where they had a hard fight on the 19th. They fell back again after that battle to Baldwyn, Miss. About October 1 Generals Price and Van Dorn joined forces, and on the 3d and 4th a terrific and disastrous charge was made on the Federal fortifications at Corinth. The 16th Arkansas was ordered about November 1 to Port Hudson, where they went into winter quarters. On February 18, 1863, young Trawick was promoted to a lieutenancy. On March 14 the Federal fleet under Farragut advanced up the Mississippi with gunboats and mortars. Two  ships, the Harvard and the Monongahela, passed by the forts, but the famous old war ship, the Mississippi, was set on fire and destroyed. This is a memorable event to all survivors of the forces there. Admiral Dewey was of those captured upon leaving the burning ship. The mortar shells, thrown with great diligence during that engagement, created consternation, as they could be observed by burning fuse going very high in the air and exploding with well ordered fuse as they fell. During that siege Lieutenant Trawick was a volunteer with some men to occupy a most perilous position. In his written record he does not refer to it, yet he gave a thrilling account of it at a meeting of the Frank Cheatham Camp, U. C. V, After the surrender of Port Hudson, Lieutenant Trawick was of those sent to Johnson's Island prison. He carried with him three books that he took from home: a Bible, Davies's Arithmetic, and Smith's Grammar. As soon as practicable he added to his books a list of useful ones, and became quite a close student. He read the Bible through twice and the Testament seven times. He. was baptized in Lake Erie on March 27, wading through the ice to proper depth. His diary tells briefly of hardships in prison, and that they were kept on Johnson's Island until March 21, 1865 and thence sent to Fort Delaware, and kept there until June 13, 1865, when they were released.

He was then about seventeen years of age, and, full of the spirit and ardor of the Southern youth, he went to the defense of his State and country, serving bravely and gallantly to the close of the war. As a favorite scout and daring soldier, he won the admiration and confidence of his commanders and fellow soldiers. In scouts, skirmishes, and battles in the mountains of North Alabama and in forays along the Tennessee River he established a character for skill, bravery, and intrepidity equal to any of the gallant companions of his brigade. He surrendered with Forrest's Cavalry at Gainesville, Ala., in May, 1865. Returning home, he helped to reestablish conditions that the enemy had left dismantled as a record of their exploits. Later on he went to Jefferson County, Ark., and began to work out the new problem of life. Devoting himself to farming and planting, by industry and economy he won his way to a strong position in the affairs of his county and in the confidence of his neighbors and fellow citizens.A brave soldier, a loyal friend, a devoted husband and father, and an upright citizen, he has gone to the reward of the true and the just, where such as this comrade will receive recognition of the Master in his "Well done, good and faithful servant."[Extracts from tribute by the Committee on Resolutions, O.

Vann, John M.-Text: Born: Jul.5, 1845 Died:Jun.2,1911 Buried:Vanndale Cemetery, Vanndale, Ark-Tsteon- John M. Vann went to Arkansas with his parents in 1850, when he was only five years of age, and his home was always within a few miles of the spot selected by his father, Renselear Vann, for a home when he went from Fayette County, Tenn., to Cross County (then St. Francis), Ark. Just as he was preparing to go away to school the war came on, and John, like many other boys, felt the call of duty and made a brave young soldier. He was only nineteen when the "war closed. He enlisted in Company A, McGehee's Regiment, and served nearly four years. Mr. Vann engaged in business in 1868 and continued the life of a merchant-farmer for forty-five years. He was successful and enjoyed the fullest confidence of a loyal line of customers, who came to him for advice and counsel even in most intimate and private matters. The statesman sought his advice; the politician begged his support, because a multitude followed when it became known that the candidate would have the support of J. M. Vann; the widow trusted him; the broken-hearted confided in him; the preacher leaned upon him. He never sought a crowd, but once in it he was the life of it. He loved a clean story and was an artist in telling one. He was married to Miss Ida Hare, daughter of Rev. Thomas Hare, and th^ir children were Claude, Thomas, and Bessie. The CONFEDERATE VETERAN was always read, reread, and carefully filed away. It is now read with great interest by his children and grandchildren. ."- Confederate Veteran-v.28-p.29-33-on FAG-Tstone

Ware was born in Talladega, Ala., March 20, 1846, and with his parents moved to Arkansas before tire War of the States. He enlisted in the Confederate army. Company A, 4111 Arkansas Cavalry, on July 4, 1861, being in his sixteenth year. He was wounded but once. He was captured near Red Fork in the summer of 1864, but soon afterwards made his escape. Later he served with Col. R. B. Carlee until the close of the war, and much of his service was within the Federal lines. Colonel Carlee reports that he was delicate, and though at times sick, he was anxious to engage the enemy, and always showed himself as brave as the best. He surrendered at Little Rock in May, 1865, after the close of the war, and was paroled there. While quite young he entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and served continuously in that vocation during life. For many years he was a presiding elder in the Church, and was in charge of the Camden District at the time of his death, which occurred on June 7, 1912. He was a courageous soldier, serving faithfully to the end. In the United Confederate Veterans organization he served two years as Chaplain on the staff of the Commander of the First Brigade, and subsequently one year on the staff of the Division Commander. He was faithful in the discharge of every trust committed to him. It is said by one who knew him intimately: "His manliness appealed to me. His keen wit and his rich fund of anecdote and reminiscence fascinated, while his invincible logic overwhelmed me. In argument he was irresistible, in repartee instantaneous, and dangerous to his opponent. He knew men, his flashing, fearless eyes looked through all disguises. A good man had no cause to fear him, but a mean man would cower in his presence. With the judgment of a diplomat he appreciated men's weak and strong  points. With the heart of a lion he could rebuke a brother in fault, and then with a Christian spirit forget the fault. He never took an unfair advantage, and would not scheme for his own promotion. Honors came to him unsought. Because of his interest in public affairs he was admired by business men and politicians. His ability and fearlessness aa debater led men to urge him to run for Governor and Senator, yet he steadily refused to be turned from his sacred calling." He was a trustee of Hendrix College for twenty three years, and for two years he was a member of the General Board of Education of his Church, and for a number of years he was a member of the General Conference. Comrade Ware was true to the last as a soldier, faithful as a friend, affectionate and devoted as a husband and father. He is survived by his second wife (Mrs. Fannie Cook Ware, of Arkadelphia, and his five children (Mrs. Walter J. Terry, of Little Rock, Mrs. Norman Haskell, of Oklahoma City', Mrs. Laurence Calander, of San Dimas, Cal., Robert L. Ware, of Claremont, Cal., and E. M. Ware, of Newport, Ark.).

Wharton, A. D., Prof.- p.276, 277  Confederate Veteran June 1900-Text:Tribute by his pastor, W. E. Ellis, Nashville: Prof. A. D. Wharton, the gallant lieutenant of the Confederate navy, has passed away, and we are again reminded that the honored heroes of the cause we loved will soon have passed into history. Prof. Wharton was born at Mt. Pleasant, Ala., July 19, 1840: and died in Nashville, Tenn., April 3, 1900, in the sixtieth year of his age. His early education he received from the public schools of Nashville, and entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1856, and was graduated from there in 1860 with honors in a class of forty, with Admiral Schley, Commodore Casey, Commodore Watson, and others who have made great names for themselves in the history of our country. After finishing his education, he at once entered the naval service and at the time the civil war broke out, in 1861, was cruising in South American waters near Montevideo, and ranked as lieutenant. He told the captain of his intention to join the Confederacy, and desired to reach home as soon as possible for this purpose. He was in charge of the vessel, and though six thousand miles from home he took his bearings and drove her safe into port without a bobble. When in sight of land for the first time, and the lighthouse could be seen off Charleston harbor, the captain asked him what lights those were, and when he answered the question, he was accused of taking the vessel into a hostile port, the captain not believing his statement. His reply was: "Captain, so long as I wear this uniform, I shall be loyal to this cause. But when I reach the land and lay aside this uniform, I shall espouse the cause of my people." This trying time in his life only gave opportunity to reveal the real manhood of his character. With a definite aim in life which he never lost sight of, and deep convictions which he never disregarded, his life as a soldier, a patriot,.and a Christian was marked with that peculiar success that only great spirits achieve. He gave up the most brilliant prospects in life as a naval officer to serve his own part of the country in the cause of his love because he believed this was right. Regard for principle was the dominant element in his character. He was in the Confederate navy on vessels in the Mississippi and Red Rivers, where he did valiant service. He was on the ram Arkansas when the gallant dash was made at Vicksburg. He was afterwards lieutenant on the battleship Tennessee, and fought in the decisive battle of Mobile Bay, firing the last gun. He had sighted the gun, and it was about to be fired, when his comrade standing by his side was instantly killed by a shell from the enemies' gun, which struck the Tennessee, shivering it, a splinter taking off the top of his comrade's head, whereupon Lieut. Wharton fired the gun himself. He was then forced to surrender, as the ammunition was all exhausted. He was for some time a prisoner. At the close of the war, in 1865, he returned to Nashville, the home of his boyhood, where he spent the remainder of his days in as valiant service as he had rendered in war. In 1866 he was elected principal of the High School of Nashville, and served in this capacity at different times until his death. He also served on the State Board of Education for a number of years. He was appointed by President Grover Cleveland in 1886 to serve on the Board of Visitors of the United States Naval Academy. At the time of his death he was a member of the State Text Book Commission. He doubtless did more for the cause of education in Tennesse than any man in the State. Nowhere will he be missed more than in his Church. He became a member at the age of twelve years, and for forty eight years he was a consistent Christian. For thirty years he served as superintendent of the Sunday school, and his pupils are now living in many States in this Union. For thirty two years he was an officer in the Church, and for thirty years he was leader of song. His daily life adorned his profession. His religion showed itself peculiarly in a cheerful faith which saw goodness in everything and which gave to him a very superior quality of mind. His temperament seemed to favor the spirit of gratitude that showed itself in everything. He was naturally happy, and like the magnet, which attracts the finer particles of steel, so he drew to himself the more cheerful views of Providence. "Thanks" were his common breathings in prayer. He had caught the meaning of life, and was learning while here the language of heaven and clothing himself in the garments of glory.The end was a fitting close to such a life. Peacefully, patiently, bravely he passed away, with perfect trust in God, ending his life in the triumphs of a living faith. The Confederate veterans have laid away one of their best soldiers, the Confederate cause one of its staunchest supporters, and the Church one of its most valuable and beloved members, the home one whose place can never be filled, A useful life is ended. A bright spirit is perfected, and heaven is the richer for his presence. notonfag

Buried:Oak Cemetery, Ft.Smith, Ark.-Tstone--Service Unit:General Watie--Confederate Veteran:v.24,p.32-Text:William Watie Wheeler answered the last roll call at Sallisaw, Okla., Feb.15,1915, after a prolonged illness. On the following day his remains were taken to Ft.Smith, Ark. and interred in Oak Cemetery, where rest the ashes of many others of his kindred. His funeral services at Sallisaw were largely attended, all the business houses of the town being closed, and there was a large concourse of friends and acquaintances at the final services in Ft.Smith, which were conducted under the auspices of the B.P.O.E. He was a member of Joe Wheeler Camp, No.1800, U.C.V., of Sallisaw, and the Knights of Honor, also a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. William Wheeler was born in Ft.Smith, Ark., in 1847. His father, John F.Wheeler, was a native of Kentucky, who went to the old Cherokee Nation in Georgia early in the last century, emigrating westward when the Cherokees were driven from their homes in that country. His mother was Miss Nancy P.Watie, a sister of Brig.Gen.Stand Watie, the famous Cherokee solder, who rendered the Confederate government such efficient service in the Indian Territory and Western Arkansas during the War between the States. He was also a close kinsman of L.B. (Hoolie) and James Bell, both of whom rendered distinguished service in Gen.Watie’s brigade. William Wheeler’s tender years prevented his entering the Confederate army when hostilities began, but two years later he joined the command of his uncle, Gen.Watie, and served with it until the end. His brother, John C.Wheeler, also served with the same command. Upon his return from the army he followed various occupations for about ten years, when, at the instance of the people of Ft.Smith, he entered the lists for political favors. In 1876 he was elected township constable, serving practically without opposition for four years. Later he was made chief of police and held that position for four years. He rendered efficient service in the conduct of both offices. About twenty years ago he removed to Sallisaw, Cherokee Nation, and became an important factor in the development of that city. He engaged for a number of years in fruit growing and stock raising, and at the time of his death he was interested in various enterprises. In 1868 Mr.Wheeler was married to Miss Emma C.Carnall, daughter of Col.John Carnall, one of the pioneers of Western Arkansas, who survives him with eight of the nine children born to this union, all of whom are respected citizens of Sallisaw. His sister, Mrs.Argyle Quesenbury, is the sole survivor of a family of eight, and her husband also served for four years under the Stars and Bars. Mr.Wheeler had a large circle of friends and acquaintances and those who knew him best loved him most. His success in life was unusual, but his ambitions were unselfish and his modesty most admirable. As a man he was true, capable, and honorable, the highest type represented by that word of signal, simple praise-gentleman. On FAG: Spouse:Emma Columbia Carnall Wheeler (1848 - 1917)

At the age of seventeen he joined the Confederate army, enlisting in the 7th Ark.Regt. He was wounded in the battle of Chickamauga. The wound he received rendered him unable to serve his county longer, and after suffering for thirty-two years from the wound inflicted, he died in Warren Co., Ga. He was a Confederate veteran of the truest and finest type. No seventeen year old volunteer served his country with greater virtue upon the field of battle than he. His valor was manifested no less in peace than in war. He never ceased to battle for the right, and always allied himself with the weak against the mighty. With Lee’s eight thousand he was numbered against Grant’s one hundred and fifty thousand. The force of opposition had no terrors for him. He believed that truth and justice would prevail.

Wood, James Richard Born:Dec.23,1842 Died:Dec.30,1918 Buried:Shiloh Cemetery, Montgomery Co., Miss.-Tstone-Text: J. B. Foster, known by old comrades as "Judge," writes from Enzor, Miss.:I learn that it is the desire of Mississippi's United Confederate Veterans to have the history of every Confederate regiment that our State furnished compiled, that each company shall have its tale told, and brief biographies of Mississippi soldiers will be published. I would suggest as the proper person to write of Company E, Fifteenth Mississippi Regiment, Mr. E. Downs Estes, of Corning, Ark. He kept a diary which included the essential features of drills, marches, hungerings, picket duty, battles, etc., and he writes well. I would gladly furnish such recollections as I have, but if the historian wants any facts in my possession, he had better hurry up, for a little over six years will put me to three score and ten. Here is a sample of what I could send him: J. R. Wood, now over sixty years of age, was one of the original members of the McClung Rifles, Company E, Fifteenth Mississippi Infantry. He went to war with the company from Duck Hill, and remained in the Confederate service to the close, and is hardly reconstructed yet. There was not a braver man in the Confederate army. I saw him under fire for the first time at Rock Castle, or Camp Wild Cat, Ky., and I saw him in his first actual battle at Fishing Creek, Ky., Our company was skirmishing, bringing on the battle. Gus McMath fired the first shot of any one at the Yankees from the Fifteenth Mississippi Regiment, and Dick Wood blazed away a close second. Dick seemed angered and provoked at the Yankees, and is the only man I ever heard talk to them as he fought them. As he shot at them, he bawled: 'Go back home, you infernal Yankees! We don't want you down here, go back home, you blue bellied devils you!' Dick Wood was as much at home in a battle as he would have been at a mill or a cotton gin. He was and is a stranger to fear. Like all truly brave men, he has a kind, friendly, and loving disposition, is true to his friends and forgiving to his enemies. He is strictly honest and just, and makes a first class citizen. At Shiloh the Fifteenth Mississippi went into battle at a point from which the Yankees had been driven, and Company E's position was behind a long pile of corn, all strung along after the fashion of breastworks. Right there Joe Lott was killed on my right, and Basil Whitten was killed on my left, and I almost saw a bullet strike Dr. J. J. Gaze, of Company G, in the breast. I saw the blood gush from the wound. Near Company E right at it on the Yankee side of the corn was a Federal army medical chest, almost as large as a bureau, and its top was filled with jars and bottles, and the Yankees, firing at us as they would run up to the rim of a ravine, say a distance of twenty five or thirty steps from us, would hit those bottles and jars, and shattered glass would fly in all directions. Several of the pieces flew into Dick's neck. Some of them are there yet. Dick got tired of it, and almost before one could say 'Scat!' that brave and fearless boy jumped over the corn pile, and in the midst of shot and shell and Minie bullets, he took his British rifled musket and with one big swipe he raked off every jar and bottle from the top of the chest." Comrade Foster tells farther on in his narrative that Dick's son gave him a stovepipe hat, that they were together in the great crowd at the Memphis reunion. They were moving through the crowd, Foster following. He made a mistake in the high hat, and found that he had been following a negro for some time.-Confederate Veteran December 1902 p.555-on FAG

Died: February 18, 1907; Neosho, Missouri Buried:Odd Fellows Cemetery, Neosho, Mo.- Service Unit: Colonel Shavers Arkansas Regiment, Surgeon. Confederate Veteran: v. 15, p. 322.-Text: DR. PAUL C. YATES. Dr. P. C. Yates died at his home, in Neosho, Mo., February 18, 1907, after a lingering illness. The death of this devoted father and husband was a great shock to his family and a loss to his State of a good physician and noble, kindly Christian gentleman, who was ever ready to sacrifice his own pleasure for the good of others. Dr. Yates was born in Randolph County. Mo., on March 1, 1836, the oldest son of Judge John M. Yates, a native of Virginia. Judge Yates belonged to a prominent family, with Revolutionary ancestors of note, and Chief Justice John Marshall was his great uncle, for whom he was named. He married  Miss Virginia Christian, and went to Missouri in 1822. Dr. Yates studied medicine, graduating at Pope's College, in St. Louis, in 1861, when the country was stirred by the menace of war. He joined one of the first companies going South under Gen. John B. Clark. From the first skirmishing at Boonville and Carthage to the last call to "stack arms" he was always a brave a soldier, a faithful comrade and friend. After the battle of Springfield, he was appointed surgeon, and remained with Price's army till the close of the war, serving with Colonel Shaver's Regiment, Arkansas Volunteers. An incident of those times is strongly characteristic of his steadfast adherence to duty. After the battle of Elk Horn, Dr. Yates went with his wounded to Van Buren to insure their safety, the battlefield being in possession of the Federals. Then he hastened to General Price and asked permission to return to his brother. Will, who was wounded too severely to be removed. General Price told him he could not give him a pass, as the Federals were sure to arrest him, and he would probably be shot for a spy. General Price said: "General Davidson's special orders were to bring no doctors, as they consider them spies. Besides, I promised your father to take care of his boys." But the little man who stood before him was obdurate. "I must take my chances, General. He is only a boy, shot through the lungs, dying perhaps, and calling for me." The pass was written, and Dr. Yates was stopped on the road by a Major Reynolds, who frowned at his replies to his short questions until he told his name. It is the name of my bosom friend, who is now Governor of Illinois, said the Federal. Yes, he is my cousin. Dr. Yates replied. The Major with his carriage carried him into the camp.I started into this, Dr. Yates told the writer, "with my trust in Providence, and here my relationship to the genial Republican Governor of Illinois saved me in the very tightest of all tight places I ever found." He found his brother, nursed him back to life, and Dr. William Yates is practicing medicine to day at Calao, Mo. He was with the beloved brother during his last illness.  A younger brother, Arthur, was killed at Kennesaw Mountain.
