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.

Dr.Aills graduated at Dennison University in Ohio, took a course of lectures in New Orleans, and at the age of twenty years he moved to Steen’s Creek, began practice, and lived there the remainder of his life. He offered his services to the Confedearcy in early 1861, was appointed regimental surgeon of the 6th Mississippi Infantry, was promoted to brigade surgeon, and at the close of the war was division surgeon. Returning home after the surrender, he married in 1866 Miss Sarah Farish of Copiah Co., who with seven children, survives him. Confederate Veteran:v.13, p.i Alexander, D. W.-Text:vol.20,1912- D. W. Alexander was born in Moulton, Ala., October 22, 1841, and died February 4, 1912, near Shelbyville, Tenn. He was reared in Moulton, Ala., and came to Tennessee in 1865. He was married in 1866 to Sallie Shearin, daughter of Matthew Shearin, of Bedford County, Tenn. Comrade Alexander was proud of his record as a Confederate soldier, having been in all the hard fought battles of his command. In the battle of Franklin, Tenn., he was the only one of his company that went through that awful battle without being wounded or killed. Surviving him are his two sons and one daughter, a brother and a sister. Mr. Alexander lived after the war in Bedford County. He engaged in farming successfully, and was devoted to the Confederate cause. His support of the VETERAN was steadfast. Alexander, E. P., General-Text:Page 341 Confederate Veteran July 1910 On April 28, 1910, Gen. E. P. Alexander died in Savannah, Ga. Born in Georgia in 1835, he was graduated at West Point in 1857, being third in his class. He was assigned to the engineer corps of the army, and served as instructor at the Military Academy, with the Utah expedition, under Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, and on the Pacific Coast. He resigned from the United States army on May l, 1861, and was appointed captain in the engineer corps of the Confederate army. He was assigned as chief signal officer to the army under Beauregard at Manassas, and discovered the turning movement of McDowell, and his prompt report of it resulted in the adoption of the measures taken to meet it. When Gen. Joseph E. Johnston took command of the army, Alexander was appointed chief ordnance officer, and as such served in the Seven Days' battles before Richmond, Second Manassas, and at Sharpsburg. He was then appointed to the command of a battalion of artillery, six batteries with twentysix guns, which had been commanded by Col. (afterwards Lieut. Gen.) Stephen D. Lee, and which was thereafter known as "Alexander's Battalion," and attained much renown in the army. This battalion with the Washington Artillery of New Orleans constituted the reserve (unattached) artillery, Longstreet's Corps. In the battle of Chancellorsville he performed conspicuous service. In addition to the command of his battalion in various places, he was selected by General Stuart, who commanded his corps after the death of Jackson, to find a place to "get the enemy." After a night spent in reconnoitering, he found the position at Hazel Grove, where the fire of a concentration of guns the next morning, in the words of a historian of the battle, "determined the fate of the campaign." At Gettysburg Alexander was selected by General Longstreet to command the artillery of eighty guns on his front, and he had charge of the artillery battle which preceded Pickett's charge. When the army returned to Virginia, Longstreet's Corps was sent to Chickamauga, and it was understood that he required that Alexander with his battalion should go with him. It was the only artillery sent to that distant field from Virginia. After Chickamauga the battalion went with Longstreet's army through the East Tennessee campaign, with Alexander as the senior artillery officer. When the corps returned to Virginia, Alexander was made Brigadier general and chief of artillery of the corps. He served in that capacity through the campaign of the Wilderness. Spottsylvania, Richmond and Petersburg, and to Appomattox. His service was distinguished, and he was consulted often by General Lee. He was wounded in front of Petersburg in 1864 while engaged in the defense of the city. After the war General Alexander was a professor at the University of South Carolina. President of the Central Railroad of Georgia, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and Government Director of the Union Pacific Railroad. He was also appointed as an arbitrator in the boundary survey between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. In 1892 he was selected to survey and report on a Chesapeake and Delaware Bay canal. In 1902 he delivered the address on alumni day at the centennial celebration of the West Point Military Academy, and his theme was "The Confederate Veteran." He had retired from all public service, and lived on his plantation, South Island, at Georgetown, S. C., where President Cleveland, Admiral Evans, and other friends were appreciative guests. He had decided literary talents, and wrote the "Military Memoirs of a Confederate," published in 1907, which is regarded as one of the best critical histories of the Civil War. Personally General Alexander was a charming man, genial and companionable, and endeared himself to those under him and associated with him. He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Mason, of Kings County, Va., and his second the daughter of Dr. A. S. Mason, of Hagerstown, Md. [The foregoing data is taken from the Baltimore Sun, supplied by Capt. F. M. Colston, a gallant comrade yet in active business in Baltimore. While General Alexander was President of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company the writer now Editor of the VETERAN traveled with him while en route from a visit to Jefferson Davis, and he requested the writer to write Mr. Davis that he would send him an annual pass, and he did it promptly.] Alexander, Joseph W.-Born:Mar.20,1844 Buried:Spring Hill Cemetery, Maury Co., Tenn.-Text: Dying as he had lived, calmly and peacefully, Joesph W.Alexander passed away on Jan.30,1902. He was born in Henry Co., Tenn., Mar.1844, and at the breaking out of the war was a student at Spring Hill Academy. He was the youngest member of Capt. Henry Pinter’s Company, and having been captured with his regiment, 3rd Tennessee, at Fort Donelson, he was sent to Camp Douglas. In Sep.1862, he was exchanged at Vicksburg, and was in the Port Hudson engagement, in March 1863. After the fall of Vicksburg he, with his regiment, was placed in the trenches at Jackson, where, through his dauntless courage in exposing himself to the dangers of war, he was shot through the right lung. To the day of his death Mr. Alexander felt a hero’s pride in the parole which he carried home in May 1865, in the pocket of his battle stained jacket of gray. In 1872, he married Miss Mattie Crump, of Spring Hill, and of this happy union four splendid sons survive their father, while three daughters went before him to the home of the blest. His was a nature as modest and gentle as a woman’s, and yet he possessed those sterling qualities which endeared him to his regiment, his brother Masons, his fellow citizens, and the members of the Methodist Church, to whose tenets he was ever faithful.

Mark Alexander, of Mecklenburg County, Va., and entered the service of the Confederacy as a first lieutenant in the 14th Virginia Infantry, his company being one of the first to go from Mecklenburg County. He was soon made captain of the company, and later was in the 3d Cavalry and Signal Corps.-p.360 Confederate Veteran July 1908-on FAG: arents:Mark Alexander (1792 - 1883) Sally Park Turner Alexander (1811 - 1889 Alexander, Samuel J., Major-Text: Vol.20,1912-Maj. S. J. Alexander, whose death occurred at his home, in Macon, Tenn., March 19, 1912, was born in Henderson County, Tenn., in 1833, a descendant of a Charlotte (N. C.) family who signed the famous Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. He entered Forrest's Cavalry as a private and rose to the rank of major. Major Alexander was educated in the old Masonic College at Macon. He was self made, having amassed a splendid estate, he was very active and contributed much to the improving of his community. He was an ardent and devoted member of the Church and true in every relation of life. He leaves the rich legacy of an honorable and well spent life. Of four brothers who served faithfully in the Confederate army, he was the last to pass away. An adopted niece lives in Macon, Ga., and he had expected to attend the Reunion there, for he loved to mingle with the survivors of those days of sacrifice, suffering, and achievement. In a personal letter John H. Hineman, of Morrell, Ark., who sent the foregoing, writes: "Major Alexander was a first cousin to my mother. Of all the group of my kinsmen who went out at the call of the grand old Volunteer State, only one survives, John Smith, of Oakland. My mother's brother was killed in the battle of Belmont, Mo., another of the group was killed at Franklin, a third was desperately wounded at Shiloh and again at Chickamauga, and a fourth was seriously shot at Murfreesboro. Major Alexander passed through the war without receiving a wound."J. GRIFF EDWARDS.-p.336 Confederate Veteran July 1912-on FAG Alison, Robert Allen-Text: The death of this good man is a loss deeply felt in his community, where, though known only in the quiet walks of life, he had endeared himself through his kind and lovable nature.At his home, at Winona, Miss., on January 9, passed to his reward Maj. Robert Allen Allison, aged seventy one years, one month, and twelve days. Major Allison had had a severe spell of pneumonia during the fall of 1907, from which he had never fully recovered. On the day the summons of the grim reaper reached him he had expressed himself as feeling even better than usual and had spent some time in his office. After gently protesting to the anxious ministrations of his always devoted wife that he was "all right," he seated himself in a reclining chair, and almost immediately and without a struggle quietly passed away. It was truly a fitting end to his long, gentle, and unobtrusive life, evidencing even in his last hours the same earnest devotion to duty, the same courteous regard for those about him, the same gentle self effacement and brave self control that had characterized his whole life. Robert Allen Allison, the second son of Andrew and Rebecca Allison, was born at the home of his maternal grandfather, Robert Allen (who was a distinguished officer of the War of 1812), in Carthage, Tenn., on November 28, 1836. He graduated at Cumberland University, in Lebanon, in the class of 1857, and soon thereafter became associated with his father and elder brother in the wholesale trade of Nashville. In early boyhood he became a member of the Presbyterian Church, and even at that early age manifested that piety of heart and purity of mind that distinguished him throughout his entire life. His faith was ever that of a child trusting a-(p.138 Confederate Veteran March 1908)-good and tender father, an his service to his Church was faithful as member, deacon, and elder. In February, 1861, he married Miss Belle Kelso, of Lincoln County, Tenn., a beautiful and noted belle, and entered upon that loving and tender companionship for which his loving heart and exquisitely refined nature so eminently fitted him and which was ended only with his death in her arms after almost a half century of ideal love and devotion. In the very morning of his wedded life, with a brilliant and successful business career just opening before him, with the tender kiss of his firstborn upon his lips, he heard the call of his country to her sons, and, turning aside from all thought of personal pleasure, sternly set his face to duty, sprang to her defense, and enlisted in the Provisional Army of Tennessee in the early spring of 1861. When the State seceded and the State troops were transferred to the army of the Confederacy, he was made adjutant on the staff of that distinguished preacher soldier, Col. Wyley M. Ried, in whose Church he had long been a devoted member, and remained with him until his chief fell, in the forefront at Shiloh. Upon the reorganization of the army after Shiloh he went to Lincoln County, saw his girl wife with her baby, and assisted in the organization and equipment of a company for the mounted artillery service, and marched them one hundred and ten strong, on their own horses and furnished with their own uniforms, side arms, camp furniture, and rations, to Lavergne, where they were sworn into the service and offered themselves to that "Wizard of the Saddle," Gen. N. B. Forrest. But, alas for the poverty of the cause upon the altar of which they had offered themselves! there were no guns for them, and the only thing to be done was for officers and privates alike to take service in the ranks and, as the grim chieftain expressed it, "wait until they could capture a battery." This they manfully did, and thus became a part of that glorius troop.Whose hoof beats die not on fame's crimsoned sod. But will ring through her song and her story, For they fought like Titans and struck like gods, And their dust is our ashes of glory. Nor was it long until the General's promise was made good, for in little more than two weeks they captured a full battery, and in this battery he served as sergeant until captured, in 1863. After his capture, he was carried to Nashville and placed in the penitentiary, where he found as fellow prisoners his elder brother and an uncle, and that his mother and sisters were being held under guard in their home as prisoners. From Nashville he was sent to Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, and finally to Castle Thunder, near Baltimore, and thence to City Point, on the Potomac, from which place he was exchanged and sent South. The deprivations of prison life had so undermined his health that he was ordered to report to Gen. Joseph E. Johnston for staff duty, and was at once assigned as assistant to Maj. W. H. Warren, chief ordnance officer of the Army of Tennessee. But he had hardly assumed his duties when he was stricken with a most malignant attack of typhoid pneumonia and sent back to Marietta, Ga. It was then that his young wife, at her home in Fayetteville, learned of his whereabouts and condition, and at once set out in a buggy across the disorganized and lawless country, filled with roaming and desperate bands of bushwhackers, guerrillas, and stragglers from both armies, to his bedside. After four days and nights of almost continuous travel and through many dangers and hardships, she reached Rome, where she got a train for Marietta, where she found her husband on the very brink of the grave, and where through ten weeks of loving devotion she nursed him back to health. Upon sufficiently recovering to be able to travel he was assigned to the staff of Gen. Leonidas Polk as assistant chief ordnance officer, but the very day after he reported for duty General Polk was killed, and Gen. Alexander P. Stewart, Major Allison's old and beloved preceptor at Cumberland University, was promoted to the command of the corps, and it was under him that he served in an unchanged position until the final surrender at Greensboro, N. C., his commission as major reaching him at Smithfield, N. C., only a few days before that sad event. He was one of the founders and long the President of John Ingram Bivouac at Jackson, Tenn., his comrades in which, in pursuance of his often expressed wish, conducted the last sad rites over his grave. In childhood and youth a devoted and dutiful son, a loving and tender brother, a genial and charming companion, he entered manhood rich in those high qualities that ripened with his years and gained for him the love and respect of all with whom he was brought in contact. Returning to his home, in Nashville, after the surrender, he gathered the small remnants of his scattered and wasted resources, and with a smile upon his lips and resolution in his heart he set about the upbuilding of his fortune. Reentering business in Nashville, he was soon attracted by the development of the Southwest, and in 1867 moved to Memphis,-p.139 Confederate Veteran March 1908.-and in connection with his brothers established a large and successful business there. He subsequently moved to St. Louis, and from there to Jackson, Tenn., and thence to Winona, Miss., where he resided until the final settlement of his earthly accounts. In all these places and in all the relations of life he was always the same high toned gentleman and consecrated Christian. Modest and retiring, he sought no prominence or public position, but his character and talents made him a leader in every field he entered and forced upon him many positions of trust and honor in his Church and in business affairs, the duties of which were always discharged with noted faithfulness. Broad and catholic in his convictions, he was always tolerant of the opinions of others, but firm and unalterable wherever a principle was involved. His home life was ideal in its beauty and purity, and when his gentle spirit winged its flight to its home in heaven, he left behind him a void not only in the hearts of his mourning family but in the community, and gave to all who come after him an example whose ennobling influence will be felt as long as honor, Christian virtue, and high character are known.And when it is remembered how fully, even from his boyhood days, he had been consecrated to his Master's service and in every event of his life had faithfully heeded his voice, it is easy to understand how, when the summons fell upon his attentive ears, the things of this life receded from his view, and the great white light of that other world broke upon him, his soul rose within him and his lips sent forth the happy answer: "It is all right! It is all right!" notonfag Allbright, W. B.-Text: W. B. Allbright was born near Clarksville, Tenn., February 28, 1841. In the summer of 1861 he joined Company A, First Tennessee Heavy Artillery stationed at Fort Henry, was soon appointed First Sergeant in charge of gun No. 1, thirty two pounder. He was in the bombardment from start to finish. He fired the last shot. It was after the fort surrendered and unawares. Before the gunboat landed he escaped. A few days later he went to Fort Donelson, and was in the water batteries there during the battle. He escaped by the river road. He afterwards joined Col. Adam Johnson's Tenth Kentucky Cavalry and was put in charge of a piece of artillery, secured in the recapture of Clarksville.The most noted snot, perhaps, of that great war was when Capt. Allbright hid a cannon by a straight stretch of road near the Cumberland Iron Works, sent all of his men away, waited by the gun until the head of the Federals was near, then he fired directly down the line. The chaos following that shot can hardly be conceived. He was in many successful engagements in Northern Kentucky. In November, 1862, he went South and joined Morgans command, was with him on his famous Christmas raid into Northern Kentucky and was captured. He escaped from his guard, but was soon recaptured by Woolford's Cavalry. He was marched to Lebanon Junction and from there sent to Louisville on an engine. After a few days in prison changed his name, his uniform, and succeeded in being taken as a private for exchange at Vicksburg. Near Cairo the boat was headed for St. Louis when it ran into a dense fog and was forced to land when he and James Christian escaped and took up the tramp for Dixie, one of great fatigue and hardships. He rejoined his command in time to go with Gen. Morgan on his Ohio campaign, and was captured at Adams Mills July 19. He was imprisoned at Cincinnati on Johnson's Island. Allegheny City, Point Lookout, and Fort Delaware. In March, 1865, he was sent South on a special exchange, and at Greensboro surrendered with Joseph E. Johnston's army. He was twelve times a prisoner of war and got his freedom only once by consent of his captors or custodians. His labors in connection with Camp Chase and organization of the U. C. V. Camp at Columbus, Ohio. are of record in the VETERAN.-p.276 Confederate Veteran June 1902. Allen, F. L., Rev.-Text:Col.W.B.Woody writes from Rockdale, Texas: “Another Christian officer and soldier has gone to meet the honored in that upper and better land. Thus ended the earthly pilgrimage of Rev. F.L.Allen, Aug.1,1903. Comrade Allen was born in Forsyth Co., Ga., Feb.5,1835. His ancestry was a part of the true blooded Christians who planted both Christianiity and liberty in this land of ours. In obedience to the call of his country in 1861 he volunteered in a company that formed a part of the 3rd Georgia State Troops that enlisted for six months, after which he organized a cavalry company and was elected its Captain. This was Co.F-3rd Georgia Cavalry, and they were always in the front line of that world famous fither, Gen.Joe Wheeler. After the surrender at Appomattox, he laid down his arms, returned to a devastated home, and set to work to rebuild that once happy country. Later, he moved to Texas, settleing in Fayette County. He joined the M.E.Church, South, and soon became a preacher. No man did more to build up Texas, and at the same time win souls to Christ, than this good man. For the last ten years he was a member of Camp Sam Davis, U.C.V., and soon after joining was elected to Chaplain. He was laid to rest in the city cemetery with the largest funeral procession ever in Rockdale.-Confederate Veteran:v.11, p.418 Allen, Jacob S.- Confederate Veteran 1894 Richmond, Va.: " I know you will be grieved to learn that our venerable comrade, Philip L. Samuel, of Lee Camp, has 'passed over the river.' He died October 26, he had been quite feeble for some weeks before he died. He was a strong friend of the VETERAN, and a good soldier, and in all the walks of life he was a true man, and what is far better he was a true soldier of the cross. He desired to be buried in his 'gray coat,' and in our section (soldiers) in Hollywood. The members of 'Lee Camp ' followed him to the grave." notonfag Allen, Perry W.-Text:vol.19,1911-Perry W. Allen was born April 28, 1841, and died at his home, near Semmes, Ala., January 10, 1911 . At the beginning of the war he enlisted in Company I, 21st Alabama Volunteers, and served through the many hardships to the end. He was in the battles of Corinth and Farmington and in the siege of Fort Morgan. When the fort fell, he was taken prisoner and sent to New Orleans, kept there two months, and was then taken to Elmira Prison, where he remained for nine months, through cold and starvation, till the war ended. He was paroled and sent home June 15, 1865. After the war he was married to Miss Temple Pierce, and of this union were born nine children, five of whom died in infancy. Three sons and a daughter, with the mother, mourn the loss of a devoted father and husband. He was a loyal Church member for fifty years. He was devoted to his old comrades, and was buried in his Confederate gray.-p.242 Confederate Veteran May 1911 Allen, William Bergis-Text:Private William Bergis Allen, once a member of Co.A-22nd N.Carolina Inf., sank to eternal rest near Louisville, Ky., on Tuesday, Jan.8,1901, aged sixty-one years. This veteran had a remarkable record as a soldier, for during the darkest days of the great struggle he volunteered from the ranks to go as a gunner on the Confederate gunboats, finally being assigned to the Alabama, and was with her when she went down in front of Cherbourg, he being one of the few saved after a swim of six miles. He was a man of unlimited courage, and in a land engagement before he went to sea it is related of him that he grasped the colors from the hands of his wounded ensign, and in a stentorian voice shouted: “Come on, boys: we’ll give ‘em h---- to day.” Then onward he plunged with the regiment bowed from the center. His undaunted courage and determination to win the final field had the desired effect, and the Yankees fled before that valiant regiment of Tar Heels.

Ephraim McDowell Anderson was born in Knoxville, Tenn., June 29, 1843, but in his youth the family removed to Missouri and settled in Monroe County. In 1861 he became a member of the Missouri State Guards and served under Gen. Sterling Price in all the campaigns and battles of that service, including Carthage, Springfield, and Lexington. Early in 1862, while in winter quarters at Springfield, Mo., the first Confederate brigade was formed under command of Gen. Henry Little, who was later killed at Iuka, Miss. Lieutenant Anderson became a member of Company G, 2d Confederate Regiment, under Capt. F. M. Cockrell, later a brigadier general. Soon after the close of the struggle between the States E. M. Anderson wrote the first history of Missouri comrades in the Confederate service; but when less than a hundred copies were ready for delivery the house of publication was destroyed by fire, and his labor of years was lost. He had been importuned in late years to republish this history, and it was his intention to do so had his health improved-. He had been ailing for many years, and in the hope of benefit he went to the Confederate Home at Higginsville for a short while in the latter part of 1915, leaving a home of opulence and plenty to mingle again with old comrades. On January 10, 1916, he quietly passed away. His funeral was attended by more than one hundred veterans, and the officiating minister was a member of his company during all the days of trial. [From tribute by W. J. Erwin, Company E, 3d Missouri Regiment, 1st Brigade.]-Confederate Veteran:v.24, p.174 to 178 Anderson, John H., Colonel-Text:He was a native of Williamson Co., Tenn., and left an orphan at age seven years. He was reared by an uncle, Church Anderson, with whom he engaged in the grocery business upon his moving to Nashville, in 1854. At the breaking out of the war he joined the 10th Tenn. Infantry, and was made Captain of Co.C. His command built Fort Henry. At the fall of Fort Henry, they fell back to Fort Donelson, and on the surrender there, he made his escape by boldly waliing out of the lines. The manner of his escape illustrated his nerve and patriotism. Upon investigating the surroundings, he became convinced that it was practicable to do so, and he told Gen.Bushrod Johnson of his intentions, when the General questioned he right to do so. It resulted, however, in both walking away unmolested. They came on foot the greater part of the way to Nashville, and were soon in active service. This statement is as remembered by the editor in a conversation with Col.Anderson. At the reorganization of the army, he was made lieutenant colonel of the 8th Tenn.Infantry, and went through the battle of Perryville, afterwards Stone’s River, then Chickamauga, Dalton, and the Atlanta campaign, Jonesboro, and Lovejoy. He received a bayonet wound while standing the breastworks at Franklin.

He was captured by Gen.Reynolds Federal army, who was killed that day. He effected an exchange from Johnson’s Island and assumed command of his old brigade in the summer of 1864, in front of Petersburg.

He was one of the first chaplains in the Confederate army. In "War Records," Series 1., Volume II, page 954. Col. Angus W. McDonald in a petition to Secretary of War L. Pope Walker wrote: "In order that the demoralizing influences of campaign life, particularly those which attach to a border war, may be counteracted as far as possible, the Rev. James B. Avirett, of the Episcopal Church, has been induced by me to accompany the command as the acting chaplain of the regiment. Already have I seen the good emanating from the regular services and prayers of tins clergyman, as we have among us not a few communicants of the Church, and I need not mention to you the good effect upon the popular mind here that the presence of one whose life is devoted to God and his country will have. I ask, therefore, that this gentleman may be appointed chaplain of my command, and that his commission may be issued for the same. I am more anxious for the last mentioned appointment in that in having a fully commissioned and authenticated man of God with us, aside from the positive good to the command, the charges of land pirates' and other unenviable sobriquets already preferred against us as parties to this partisan warfare may be the more fully met and refuted. For this gentleman, therefore, I ask this appointment." And the commission was at once issued. Dr. Avirett was born on Lock Katherine Plantation, on Tar River, in Onslow County, N. C. March 12, 1835, the son of James Alfred Avirett and Serena Thomas Avirett. He practiced law in the South before entering the ministry.

At the beginning of the war, in 1861, he enlisted as a private in Col. B. Frank Terry's 8th Texas Regiment, known as "Terry's Texas Rangers," and was ordered north into Kentucky. The severe weather gave him bronchial trouble, which kept him in the hospital several months. His health became so bad that he was discharged and went back to Texas. His health improving, he made application and received commission as assistant surgeon C. S. A., and was assigned to duty in Texas. He was post surgeon at Beaumont, Tex., at the time of the battle of Sabine Pass. He went to the Pass in the face of a heavy cannonade from the fleet, feeling sure that his services would be needed. As a reward for this action a sword was presented to him "for gallant conduct in action" by order of Gen. J. B. Magruder, commanding the Department of Texas. General Magruder's order was that the finest sword on the captured ships be given him. He was also presented with a silver medal, one of those given to each of the Davis Guards, and with a Maltese cross, which is still attached to a piece of faded green silk, embroidered with shamrocks. Dr. Bailey participated in the battle of Bowling Green, Ky., and while stationed there he obtained leave to go to Winchester, Tenn., to take his sister and cousin home from Mary Sharp College, which was near the enemy's lines. With the two girls he crossed the Mississippi River, then overflowed, in a small skiff.

He kept the frightened girls. quiet by his courage, landing safely on the other side. At the close of the war Dr. Bailey settled in Milheim, Austin County, Tex., and began the practice of medicine. In 1870 he was married to Miss Sophie Ansler, a daughter of Marcus Ansler, one of the pioneers of Austin County.

He resided in San Diego and Los Angeles Counties until 1882, when he returned to Texas and resumed the practice of medicine, but in 1889 he was compelled by failing health to return to California. He lived at Anaheim, Orange County, until 1900, and from that time to 1909 he was at Phoenix, Ariz., where he obtained some relief from his malady. In the hope of prolonging his life, his family took him then to. Southern California, where he died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Kuchel, in Anaheim, on August 4, 1909. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and three daughters. Bailey, Joseph C.- Text: Extracts from resolutions adopted by the Abe Buford Camp, No. 97, U. C.

He was made a lieutenant, and was a faithful soldier. Amid the terrors of battle he was unflinching. His memory was remarkably accurate. A few years ago he pointed out to his captain at Gettysburg the place where his regiment formed for Pickett's charge, and said before reaching the place that he would find a large sassafras tree just in the rear of the g6th which he saw on that eventful day forty four years before, and sure enough it was there. He was one of the "immortal six hundred officers" taken to Charleston, S. C., for retaliation and probably the last one from Virginia. He was loyal to his native State, His virtues exceeded his frailties. His friends and comrades will ever cherish his memory.[Data for the foregoing come from Captain Jeffress.] Barnett, T.

Barney, Joseph or James Nicholson, Capt. *d.Virginia 1899-CSA Navy-He was born in Baltimore, Aug.25,1818. His father, Hon.John Barney, served in the U.S.Congress from 1844 to 1846; and his grandfather, Commodore Joshua Barney, U.S.Navy, was distinguished in the war of the Revolution by his defense of Philadelphia, defeating the British ship of war, General Monk, with his own vessel, the Hyder Alli, and by his gallantry in the battle of Bladensburg. Capt.Barney entered the navy in 1832, and graduated at the head of his class in 1835. He served almost continuously from 1835 to 1861, visiting all parts of the world, passing twice around the globe. In Jun.1861, being on foreign service, he resigned as lieutenant in the U.S.Navy, and his return to the United States, in July, entered the Confederate navy service with the same rank. He was ordered to the Jamestown which took part in the famous Hampton Roads fight between the Monitor and the Merrimac, or Virginia. Later the Jamestown was used to transfer guns and ammunition from Norfolk to Richmond, running past Ft.Monroe at night. When the Federal fleet came up the James, the guns of the Jamestown were placed at Drewry’s Bluff, and the vessel sunk in the channel. These guns aided largely in defeating the Federal fleet, and won a promotion to the commander by the Confederate Congress for “gallant and meritorious conduct.” The only such promotion in the navy. Later he was sent to Europe, and took command of the Florida, which had been built in England, and then put into Brest, France, for outfitting. Capt.Barney armed and manned the Florida, but on account of ill health was relieved of the command of that vessel, but he remained abroad until the close of the war. After the war he lived in Powhatan County until 1874, when he removed to Fredericksburg, Va., where he resided unitl the time of his death, Jun.16,1899.

J. M. Schoonmaker, of Allegheny, Pa., covered Hunter's retreat with his brigade of cavalry. Dr. Barr heard that the Federal rear guard had orders to burn Lewisburg after the infantry and artillery had passed through the town. He sought the commanding officer and told him what he understood were his orders, and assured him there were no persons in Lewisburg but the sick and wounded soldiers and women and children, and asked if it were possible that he intended to destroy the town. General Schoonmaker, that grand and gallant Federal officer, inquired his name, and when told, the General recognized Dr. Barr as an old friend of his father, and said to the Doctor that he should know his father never taught him to burn houses over the heads of helpless women and children. The astonished and delighted minister asked his name, and when told that he was James M. Schoonmaker, of Allegheny, Pa., Dr. Barr with beaming face and outstretched hand exclaimed: "Is this little Jimmie Schoonmaker?" No houses were burned. Dr. Barr had attended the Allegheny Theological Seminary, and had often visited the General's boyhood home. This interesting occurrence was related, to me by both General Schoonmaker and Dr. Barr.

He was indentified with many movements for the better of society, and his friends could always find him in the front ranks fighting for principle. In every sphere in life-as citizen, soldier, and office holder-he performed his duty with devotion and fidelity known only to his kind. During the war he was a member of Co.I-21st Miss.Regt., under Command of Capt. H.G.Humphreys. He was in seventeen battles; was wounded five times, and only retired from service when his wounds incapacitated him for duty.-Confederate Veteran-v.11, p.330 Baskin, Peter Brown-Text:Vol.19,1911:Peter B.

He went through the perils of many battles, skirmishes, and exposure until he lost his health and had to undergo medical treatment, and as soon as he was able to be about he was made assistant surgeon to Dr. McSwain, the brigade surgeon. When able for field duty again, he had the misfortune to be captured, and was sent to prison on Ship Island, where he was kept for some time, on a diet of codfish and potatoes.

He then joined Company G, 1st Georgia Artillery, and served the remainder of the-p.351 Confederate Veteran July 1911-war in Florida. He was promoted to lieutenant for meritorious conduct, and was especially commended for the gallant manner in which he served his guns upon the Yankee gunboat on the St. John's River, the boat being sunk and the crew captured. Very little has been said in history about the service rendered the Confederacy by the small army of men commanded by the able and gallant Gen. J. J. Dickinson, who, with a few cavalrymen and one or two batteries, kept the middle and northern portion of Florida, also the southern counties of Georgia, free from invasion, thereby enabling that section to raise provisions to supply the army. After the war Captain Bates removed to Gadsden County, Fla., and married Miss Esther Davis. The sons and daughters of this union are respected for their own worth and esteemed as the offspring of a true and tried Confederate soldier and his worthy helpmeet. Captain Bates served several terms in the Florida Legislature, and was also a Commissioner of Gadsden County. Bayly, James P.-Text:Capt. James P. Bayly died at Hennessey, Okla, on September 18, 1908.

Subsequently having removed to Van Zandt County, he joined Captain Bates's company of the 36th Cavalry, which became a part of Terrell's Brigade. His regiment was for some time employed on the Gulf Coast, and later it was with the army in Louisiana. When the war ended he returned to his home, near Chandler, Tex., and during the remainder of his life he was engaged as a country merchant and farmer. A devout and consistent Christian, a generous neighbor, a faithful friend, in the eighty fourth year of his age he went peacefully and trustfully to sleep, leaving to a sturdy and numerous posterity the priceless legacy of a spotless name.

Elzey, M.A., surgeon of 8th Virginia Regiment.) In the recent death of Col. Norborne Berkeley, of the 8th Virginia Regiment, C. S. A., in the eighty fifth year of his age, the survivors of our cause mourn one of their bravest and truest companions in arms. Descended from one of the oldest and most distinguished families of Virginia, he was himself esteemed by all who knew him as one of the truest men of his day. The inheritor of an ample fortune, he married early in life a woman descended from the same ancestry, and brought his bride to his newly established and beautiful home, situated upon a commanding height overlooking the village of Aldie, in Loudoun County, Va. There, in the midst of affluence, he lived the simple life of a country gentleman, beloved and honored by all who knew him, and there his children were born. Generous to a fault, active in every public enterprise, a Churchman and lay reader, attentive, to every public duty, liberal in behalf of every worthy cause, his whole influence and example were for good. The writer, some years his junior, had known him from childhood as a near neighbor of his father and friend of his early manhood. He also served with his regiment during a greater part of the War between the States, and was afterwards associated with him in the faculty of the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College. The greater part of the writer's service in the army was with Colonel Berkeley's regiment, and he sincerely believes that a more perfect type of the gallant soldier and Christian man never lived. A soldier devoted to his duties, deferential to his superior officers, kindly considerate of his subordinates, himself he always thought of last of all. In all relations of life Norborne Berkeley was a man blameless and true, a man without reproach. He has gone to his reward, leaving behind him the record of a blameless life and not an enemy upon earth. His epitaph may well be written: Whatever record leaps to light, He never shall be shamed.

A man of tall, commanding form and conspicuous courage, he made a brilliant record as a soldier, rising to the rank of captain, and receiving several wounds, one of which lingered with him until his death. When the war ended, he entered the milling business In Augusta, and for forty years and more he was a prominent and influential factor in its commercial life. He met death as he had faced it on the battlefield, without a tremor, and hosts who honored him in life mourn him in death.

James Boatwright, Company B, Fourteenth South Carolina Regiment, McGowan's Brigade, of Ridge Spring, Edgefield County, S. C. He was born in Columbia, S. C., January 18, 1833, and died September 13, 1896. His grandfather Boatwright, for whom he was named, was one of the earliest settlers of Columbia, and one of its wealthiest and most prominent citizens. To his mother's people were granted in colonial times most of the Ridge lands of Edgefield County, S. C. His great grandfather Watson was an officer in the revolutionary war, and was buried with military honors. An uncle of Capt. Boatwright's uniformed a company of Hampton's Legion, C. S. A. It was originally known as the Watson Guards. Capt. Boatwright was well educated. He was a cadet at the South Carolina Military Academy at Charleston. At the age of twenty seven years he left his wife and child on a lonely, isolated plantation and went as lieutenant. In the battle of Ox Hill, Va., the captain was wounded and resigned, when Lieut. Boatwright became captain. He had many narrow escapes from death. His first service was on the coast of South Carolina. The Yankee gunboats were shelling Port Royal. He was standing in the road and saw the shell coming. Fully expecting to be killed, he turned sidewise, the shell passed him, blackening and bruising his limbs and tearing off the skirt of his new jeans coat, the cloth of which had been woven on his mother's plantation. This shell killed four men. Capt. Boatwright saw hard service in Virginia. At Spottsylvania during the battle a man was lying with his head against Capt. Boatwright's knee, when a cannonball took the man's head off, leaving Capt. Boatwright spattered with his blood and brains. Among the hard fought battles he passed through were the Wilderness, Fredericksburg, Cedar Mountain, Bull Run, the second Chancellorsville, Spottsylvania, at Petersburg on both sides of the James River, seven days' fight around Richmond, and the three days' battle at Gettysburg. At the battle of Gettysburg Capt. Boatwright's company went in with fifty four men, and after the three days' battle reported eight men for duty. The company had sixteen men killed on the field of battle, and every officer wounded except Capt. Boatwright, who was in command of the regiment at the close of the battle. The gallant Gen. Abner Perrin, in his account of the battle of Gettysburg, says: "Capt. James Boatwright was distinguished for uncommonly brave conduct in this battle, as I can testify from personal observation." At the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox, Va., Capt. Boatwright stuck his sword up in an old stump and made his way home on a black horse which had been captured from the Federal army at Spottsylvania. It belonged then to Dr. Hugo, surgeon of the Fourteenth Regiment. Caesar, the faithful man servant of Capt. Boatwright, considered himself one of "the boys," for many a lark did he go on with them. He ever had an eye to the welfare of "Marse Jimmie." This picture of Capt. Boatwright was taken several years after the war. He was twice married, and left seven sons and four daughters. The home life of Capt. Boatwright was beautiful. He loved his home beyond all places on earth, his wife and children constituted his world. He was a man of few words, no pretenses, sincere, and unostentatious. He was to his children a companion and friend. In middle life he enlisted under the banner of the cross in the Protestant Episcopal Church. notonfag Bocock, John Paul-Buried:West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania Text:The son of Rev.John Holmes Bocock, D.D., who was the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Georgetown, D.C.

After practicing law a few years in Cincinnati, he devoted himself to journalism, first in Philadelphia, then in New York. He had been a frequent contributor to the North American Review, Harper’s publications, and other standard periodicals.

C., on November 25, 1840, and died on his own Mulberry Hill plantation in Edgefield County, S. C., on July 3, 1911. He was a student at the Lutheran College, Newberry, S. C., at the Arsenal in Columbia, S. C. and completed his academic education at the Citadel, South Carolina Military Academy, at Charleston, S. C. He was with the corps of cadets in their military service about Salkahatchie and in the coast country of South Carolina, and was one of those who on the reopening of the Citadel were awarded diplomas and ranked as graduates of the institution, this distinction having been denied them in the sixties because of their military service to their State and the suspension of the exercises of the institution for that purpose. After the war Mr. Bouknight managed for his father their Bouknight's Ferry plantation in Edgefield (now Saluda County) until his father's death. During this period he was an active Mason. He organized and was Master of a lodge at Bouknight's Ferry for years. He also took a dominating part with "Red Shirts" in 1876 in his district, and did his share, valiantly in helping to rid South Carolina of her political oppression. After the death of his father, he spent a year in Charleston making some changes in his business affairs, and in 1881 settled at his Mulberry Hill plantation, near Trenton, S. C. where he resided until his death. He was one of the most active and initiative men of his community, and while planting cotton successfully, he was President of the bank of Johnston for fifteen years, retiring only because of ill health. He was also a director in the bank of Edgefield, the People's Cotton Oil Company, and President of the Johnston Warehouse Company. He was active in real estate matters in the towns of Johnston and Edgefield, and was a willing and helpful taxpayer. His life was ever that of the country gentleman. He was a devoted steward in Harmony Methodist Church, and was chairman of its board of trustees. He was a popular member of Camp, McHenry, U. C. V. located at Johnston. In 1889, he married Miss Emma Bettis, of the Pine House, who predeceased him several years. He is survived by three sons (Benjamin Bettis, Joseph Huiet, Jr. cadets at the South Carolina Military Academy, and William Bouknight) and one daughter (Emma Bettis, a student at St. Mary's School, Raleigh, N. C.). He never held political office, but was President of the Harmony Democratic Club, and was keenly alive to the responsibility which comes with citizenship. He was fond of society, and was a delightful companion, full of the joy of living, and with a big, generous heart was ever ready to help the needy and distressed. Many a poor boy was helped in securing an education and many a widow's hard life was aided by his unobtrusive charity. He was an uncomplaining sufferer for two years before his death, and passed away surrounded by his family and mourned by a host of sorrowing friends.

His father, Henry A. Bragg, and his mother, Frances Armstead Bragg, were Virginians, the former a native of Norfolk and the latter born in Loudoun County. They moved in the early thirties to North Alabama, where Henry T. Bragg was born. He went with his parents in 1848 to Memphis, where he was educated in the private schools of that city. When Henry Bragg had just attained his majority, the great Civil War broke out with intense fury. The young man was strongly attracted, being chivalrous in his nature, though quiet in his habits, but bold to the point of rashness, and quickly determined to take up arms in behalf of his country. At that time a cavalry company, the first organized in the Southwest, was being recruited by Capt. Thomas H. Logwood and named the Memphis Light Dragoons. While it was the first company offered by Memphis to the service of the South, it was not mustered in regularly until the l6th of May, 1861, with several other commands. His company became A of the 7th Tennessee Cavalry. It was perhaps the most splendidly equipped and mounted company which entered first the State and then the Confederate service. Young Bragg himself was an ideal trooper. Tall, splendidly formed, with massive shoulders and the erectness of an Indian, he added more than a unit to the splendid aggregate of the company. And his subsequent career proved him to be a perfect type of the Confederate cavalry soldier which made Forrest famous and enabled him to accomplish such grand results. His career was that of the Confederate private. Under the lead of W. H. (Red) Jackson, Van Dorn, and Forrest his company was in the forefront of battle throughout the war. Beginning with the initial engagement at Belmont, Mo., in November, 1861, young Bragg took part with his company in thirty seven heavy engagements and battles, and was more than two hundred times under fire, in one campaign alone with Forrest being engaged thirty three times in forty days. In all these emergencies he was the same cool, brave, determined young soldier, never faltering when danger called and never lagging when the word was "Forward." After the war he was married to Miss Sallie S. Star, became a farmer, and accumulated a handsome estate.-p.290 Confederate Veteran June 1909.

While the death of Comrade Briggs was not entirely unexpected, as he had for years been subject to alarming recurrences of asthma, yet when the blow fell it was a great shock to his family and friends. When the War between the States began, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, he enrolled himself with his neighbors and friends in defense of what he and they honestly believed to be their constitutional rights, and as a Confederate soldier he saw his duty and did it bravely.

Years ago he was chosen Brigadier General of the Second Kentucky Brigade, U. C.

When the Civil War began, he was attached to the United States frigate Congress, subsequently destroyed by the Confederate ram Merrimac. The Congress returned from a South American station late in the fall of 1861, when Mr. Brittingham made his way South to fight for his native land. He was commissioned in the Confederate navy and ordered to Fredericksburg. On the evacuation of Fredericksburg, in the spring of 1862, he was ordered with his command to the Norfolk Navy Yard, being later assigned to the gunboat Hampton. With this ship he joined the James River squadron when Norfolk was evacuated. On the establishment of the Confederate Naval School he was ordered to the school ship Patrick Henry as gunner and instructor in gunnery. In January, 1864, he was assigned to the Confederate ship Chicora at Charleston, where he experienced hard service until the evacuation of that city, in March, 1865.

A volunteer company was raised in San Augustine and ad joining counties in the summer of 1861, of which he was elected captain. Captain Broocks, at the head of his company, immediately set out to join the army of Gen. Ben McCulloch, then in Missouri. Soon after reaching the army a battalion was formed of four detached companies: Those of Captains Broocks, J. W. Whitfield, of Lavacca County, Captains Murphy and Broocks, of Arkansas, J. W. Whitfield being elected major. In the spring of 1862 eight more Texas companies were added, and the Twenty Seventh Texas Cavalry, or Whitfield's Legion, was formed, with J. W. Whitfield colonel, E. R. Hawkins lieutenant colonel, and Cyrus K. Holman major. Major Holman resigned soon after his election, when Capt. John H. Broocks was promoted to major, Colonel Whitfield being made a brigadier general. Lieut. Col. E. R. Hawkins was promoted to colonel, and Maj. John H. Broocks lieutenant colonel, in which capacity he served until the close of the war. Owing to Colonel Hawkins's poor health, the command of the regiment devolved upon Lieutenant Colonel Broocks much of the time. Colonel Broocks's regiment was one of the four Texas regiments composing Ross's Brigade, and participated in all the numerous battles and skirmishes in which that brigade was engaged, beginning with the Indian battle at Chustenahlah in December, 1861, Elkhorn Tavern in March, 1862, at Corinth, Miss., in May, 1862, Iuka and Corinth in the autumn of 1862, in the celebrated raid of General Van Dorn on Holly Springs in December, 1862, at Thompson's Station, Tenn., in March, 1863, at Yazoo City and numerous engagements in other portions of Mississippi. In the Atlanta campaign of 1864, when the command was under fire tor one hundred days in succession, with General Hood in his Nashville campaign, his regiment composed a part of the advance guard in the forward movement, and was part of the rear guard on the retreat.

John C.Brown began the practice of law in 1848 until 1859. Then being in poor health he visited theEast, making a tour of Great Britain, the continent, Egypt, and all the Holy Land. In 1860, he was elector on the Bell and Everett ticket. The election of Mr.Lincoln to the Presidency and the secession of the southern states brought on the Civil War. He entered the service of his state as a private, and was elected at once to Captain of his company, and immediately thereafter, colonel of the 3rd Tenn. Inf.Regt. At Fort Donelson he was in command of a brigade as senior colonel, and took active part in its defense. He was captured and sent to Ft.Warren; was exchanged in 1862, when he was promoted to Brig.General, and assigned to duty with Gen.Bragg.

He remained at home for two years, but when fourteen years of age he shouldered a gun and took his place in line to assist in repelling the famous Grierson Cavalry raid in May, 1863. On that occasion he was really captured by some Federal soldiers, but his youth and the plausible excuse he made about being out squirrelhunting saved him not only from being taken into custody but the gun as well.

He was wounded severely in the left leg at Jonesboro, Ga., in August, 1864, and as he grew older this wound gave him much trouble, until it was necessary to amputate the leg. It was hoped that this operation would prove successful, but the trouble manifested itself again after a few months, and nothing could be done for his relief, until death mercifully intervened. Comrade Bufkin served during the war as a member of Company H, 27th Mississippi Regiment, under General Walthall, and those who stood in ranks with him know of his courage and faithfulness. He was wounded seven times in battle, and though a sufferer for nearly all the years since the war, he uttered no regret or repining. The concluding words of an inquiry he made for comrades through the VETERAN recently expressed his continued loyalty: "Though I am now nearly sixty seven years old and have suffered for these forty four years with wounds and am now maimed for life, I have never regretted having been a Confederate soldier, because I still believe that we were in the right," In 1841 Comrade Bufkin was married to Miss Nancy C. Heidelberg, of one of the most prominent families of Jasper County, and of their nine children eight are surviving four sons and four daughters. He was a consistent Christian, living true to his obligations. The inquiry made by Comrade Bufkin was for three comrades who shared a thrilling experience with him near Atlanta in 1864. In command of videttes, Lieutenant Bufkin took position with three comrades by a chestnut stump in an old field, with no other trees or cover near. A hole about large enough to accommodate the four venturesome men had been dug by the stump, and in it they got. When day broke, the sight of groups of the enemy walking carelessly about in plain view presented an opportunity for fighting, which the little band eagerly accepted, not counting the odds. Their fire was promptly returned by the enemy, who used a rifled cannon to dislodge their assailants. In a few moments the chestnut stump was literally torn out of the ground, and the four daring men were forced to retire, which they did by crawling flat on the ground amidst a hail of Yankee bullets. Lieutenant Bufkin was the last to leave the position. And now he who through four terrible years followed unfalteringly the flag of the stars and bars and for more than forty years was true to the banner of King Immanuel, his term of service ended, has been called home by the Great Commander.

She became the wife of Judge Theodore L. Burnett in 1852. On the evening of January 29, 1902, a brilliant assemblage of friends wished her and her noble husband many happy returns upon their golden wedding anniversary. Among the numerous and handsome gifts to the bride of fifty years was a U. D. C. pin of rubies and diamonds, presented with many messages of love and good wishes by the Albert Sidney Johnston Chapter, U. D. C., of which she was an honored member. On the morning of January 7, 1907, there dawned upon her a day of eternal happiness, and her noble life on earth was ended. In personal appearance Mrs. Burnett was strikingly attractive, possessed of unusual beauty of form and features, tall, stately, with an ease and grace of bearing which stamped her the thorough gentlewoman. Added to these charms was a vigorous, well stored mind and an almost unerring judgment. Her fund of reminiscence was varied and charming, and her friends were ever eager to hear a recital of her thrilling experiences during the War between the States. Her husband, Judge Burnett, was a member of the Confederate Congress. She shared with him the vicissitudes of war, and was a helpmeet indeed, a veritable tower of strength to him. Soon after the close of the war the Southern women of Louisville organized the Confederate Monument Association. Mrs. Burnett worked zealously in this organization until its efforts were crowned with success in the erection of a beautiful monument to Kentucky's Confederate dead. The monument occupies a prominent position on one of the broad streets of the city. Mrs. Burnett was a charter member of the Albert Sidney Johnston Chapter, U. D. C., and was prominent in every good work, her wise counsel and advice being sought and relied upon in every important undertaking. She, with a few other faithful women of Louisville, struggled to establish a Confederate Home, giving unstintingly of her means and labor for this greatly desired consummation, and from these heroic efforts has been evolved the elegant Home at Pewee Valley. She most earnestly desired the erection of a monument at Shiloh to the memory of the Kentuckians who fell upon that battlefield, and we who were privileged to hear her appeal to the Legislature in the winter of 1905 for an appropriation for that purpose can never forget the striking picture presented by her and her gallant husband, who introduced her. Splendid representatives these two were of the grand man and grand woman of the grand old South. We who loved her-(Confederate Veteran March 1907.page 131) -and honored her and relied upon her felt then that she was growing frail. An attack of pneumonia soon followed, from which she never quite recovered. She was a communicant of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, an exemplar of "pure and undefiled religion." She was admired in society for her graciousness and kindliness of heart. In her home Mrs. Burnett reigned queen, her husband, her children, her children in law, and her children's children delighting to do her honor. As the days went by and "sunset and evening star and one clear call" came to her, she grew more beautiful. Her last evidence of consciousness upon this earth was a smile of ineffable love and tenderness given to her devoted daughter. Her sweet eyes closed, and after that the dark. But she feared no evil, knowing whose rod and whose staff would comfort her, and so she passed into the light that never fails. Her life work well done, she has responded to the summons of the King: "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." We shall not sec her like again, this grand, stately "lady" of the Old South. But the "memory of the just is blessed." and her memory will be treasured a very benediction.

In the spring of 1865 he served as adjutant of camp of organization at Hamburg, S. C. A short while before the surrender he was commissioned captain of cavalry and ordered to report to Col. Dick McCann, then scouting near Nashville. Arriving at Meridian, Miss., he found that General Forrest had surrendered, and he was paroled at Meridian. Captain Burnett was wounded in three battles Shiloh, Chickamauga, and New Hope Church, Ga.

Immediately after the war he went into business for himself as a brick manufacturer and contractor. He was eminently successful in his business, and at the time of his retirement, some fifteen years ago, the firm of W. G. Bush & Co. was known throughout the South. His son in law, T. L.

Captain Cagle went to Greenville from Transylvania County, N. C., before the war, and was a noted contractor and mill builder of that section. His later life was devoted especially to building cotton mills, in which he continued until retiring from business some years ago.

Recovering, he joined Hood's command in the Tennessee campaign, and was on his way to rejoin his own regiment when the surrender took place. Judge Calhoun was elected to the Georgia Legislature in 1872 as Representative and reelected for a second term. Judge Calhoun did much for the Confederate Soldiers' Home. He lent his energies toward getting the funds together for building the home, and when it burned he started his work all over again. He and the late Captain Romare are said to have practically kept the Home going during several years of troubled existence.Judge Calhoun was President of the Gordon Monument Association, and worked diligently until it was built. He was a Master Mason and an Odd Fellow. He served as lieutenant colonel in the State militia for three years. He displayed the highest qualities of manhood in every relation of life. Comrade William Lowndes Calhoun, one of Atlanta's best citizens, died at his home November 16, 1908. He had been in poor health for several years, and for several months had been confined to his home.-p.91 Confederate Veteran February 1909. Call, Wilkinson, Senator-Text:Vol.18,1910-Wilkinson Call was born in Russellville, Ky., and died in Washington D.C., on August 24, 1910, in his seventy sixth year. His family moved to Florida in his early boyhood, and when the war began, he was among the earliest volunteers of that State in the Confederate army, rapidly winning the promotion of adjutant general of the Florida troops. After the war he was elected to the United States Senate by the Florida Legislature, but was not seated till later. He served from 1879 to 1897 in the Senate, filling many important places on committees. He was presidential elector at large in 1872 and 1876. a member of the Democratic National Executive Committee. and a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1877. He was a lawyer of great prominence at Jacksonville, and one of Florida's most honored and respected citizens. He is survived by one daughter, Miss Lucy Call. a lady of high social position throughout the South. AA-Camp:Kentucky, Bowling Green- CAMP, U. C. V. Bowling Green Camp, U. C. V., has sustained a great loss during the past year in the passing away of six of its worthy members: Comrades J. D. Galloway, J. S. Barlow, W. H. Grubbs, W. H. McIntier, William Wyatt, and William Ford. Recent resolutions of the Camp express in manly terms of tenderness the esteem in which these noble comrades were held. Camp:Louisiana, Ruston-MEMBERS OF CAMP 7, U. C. V., RUSTON, LA.-T. B. Finley was born in Talladega, Ala., March 6, 1843. He enlisted in Co.S,28th Louisiana Regiment on May 10, 1862, was in the battles of Franklin, Yellow Bayou, and Mansfield, serving in the Army of Tennessee and the Trans Mississippi.. Department. Comrade Finley died at his home in Ruston, La., February 2, 1903. He filled worthily offices of honor and trust in the Parish of Lincoln, serving as deputy sheriff for years, and at date of death was sheriff of the parish. J. H. Madden, born in Hempstead County, Ark., August 3, 1836, died in Simsboro March, 1903. He enlisted in Co. C, 2nd Louisiana Regiment, in April. 1861. Comrade Madden was held in high esteem by his fellow citizens, and was true to every trust. He served in the Army of Northern Virginia. Both of these comrades were true and fearless Confederate soldiers, and shed their blood for their principle. What more can be said of them for the edification of surviving comrades? And yet it is not alone as soldiers that Comrades Madden and Finley are commended to the esteem of men, for it was not alone as soldiers that those who knew them loved them best. It was rather for the modest good sense and for the warm, honest hearts that beat beneath their tattered gray uniforms hearts that never brought a blush to the cheek or a tear to the eye of any soldier. Camp:West Virginia, Parkersburg-MEMBERS OF CAMP JENKINS.Within the last month Camp Jenkins, of Parkersburg, W Va., has lost two of its most useful members. The first to go was Capt. William H. Mayberry, the adjutant of the Camp. who died in the 58th year of his age. Major Marcellus Clark passed away April 12, in his 74th year. Both of these veterans served in the 36th Virginia Regiment. Both were valiant soldiers, upright men. and useful citizens. Maj. Clark was also a veteran of the Mexican war. Both of them located in Parkersburg after the war. Capt. Mayberry was associated with a prominent law firm at the time of his death. Maj. Clark entered the employment of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and for more than thirty years was a faithful and efficient official of that company until he was retired on pension on account of age. It was one of his dying requests that his family should continue to subscribe for the CONFEDERATE VETERAN as long as any of them survived. Camp:West Virginia, Wheeling-Camp Wade Hampton, Number 375, was formed in Wheeling, W. Va., after quite a little difficulty in securing eligible membership. The charter was issued on June 12, to a Camp of fourteen members, who elected Robert L. Boyd Commandant, Dr. E. B. Plant Lieutenant Commander, Dr. W. A. Cracraft Adjutant, Geo. A. Feeney Treasurer, Leo V. Thornton Historian. All the members are business and professional men, and expect to have a prosperous and growing camp.-p.420 Confederate Veteran September 1902. Campbell, David A.-Text:vol.20,1912- David A. Campbell was horn in Franklin, Tenn., and died in Memphis March 29, 1912. He enlisted in the Confederate service in January, 1862, and was assigned to duty in the commissary department Iuka. Miss., serving as receiving agent for army supplies at Iuka, Corinth, and Tupelo. He resigned this position and enlisted in a cavalry company made up in Marshall County, Miss., commanded by Capt. Thomas B. Webber. This company was assigned to duty with the 2d Kentucky Cavalry, Morgan's old regiment, and was mustered into service as Company F. He followed the intrepid John H. Morgan on all of his raids. When Morgan's command was captured in Ohio at Buffington's Island, Dave Campbell and a few others of Company F made their escape by swimming the Ohio River, and then made their way to General Forrest. They were in the forefront in the battle of Chickamauga, and it is thought by his comrades that he fired the first gun in the battle of Chickamauga. After that he was ordered to North Mississippi to get recruits. Soon after General Morgan escaped from prison we were ordered to Atlanta, where we remained three weeks, and after reorganization we went to Southwest Virginia. The last of Morgan's raids was in the spring of 1864. On this raid Mr. Campbell's "Old Stonewall" gave out and he walked one hundred miles, carrying his saddle on his back, to Mount Sterling, Ky., where he was again in battle and got another mount. Comrade Campbell was always ready for duty, never flickered, but was always in front cheering others to "come on." He was very popular. One of his old comrades and lifelong friends journeyed to Memphis from afar to participate in the last sad rites. Campbell, Dick, Captain Text: My company was raised by Capt. Dick Campbell, in Green County, Mo., and at the reorganization Campbell returned with others to the Trans Mississippi Department with a commission as lieutenant colonel under Col. Colton Green, and J. W. McSpadden was elected captain. A better company never served in the ranks of the Confederate army. Most of that company have passed over the river, and each of the sleepers is worthy of a memoir in the CONFEDERATE VETERAN. I must mention the names of a few. A. S. H. Boyd was a private in this company, and gave the command to charge the enemy in the first day's fight at Corinth. He ought to have been promoted to a colonelcy for that act. His brother, "Poney" Boyd, commanded a regiment in the Federal army. I have learned that 'Audly' or 'Edly' Boyd was accidentally killed a few years ago in Kentucky. Will Ingram was killed in the battle of Franklin, Tenn., 1863. A cannon ball took off the top of his head. John Horton, a color sergeant, died of consumption in Boone County, Ark., after the war. W. W. Merritt, a noble spirit and a fearles soldier, settled at McKinney, Collin County, Tex., after the war. He soon rose to prominence. He was elected sheriff, and to represent his county in the Legislature. He died of paralysis July 4, 1892. Alex Shultz is supposed to have died near Dardanelle, Ark., soon after the fall of Vicksburg. He was left at a private house sick, and has never been heard from since. I met at the last Confederate reunion, at Dallas, Tex., a few survivors of that company. William G. Perkins, the orderly sergeant, lives at Greenville, Tex., and is the Treasurer of Hunt County. Jesse McQuigg and Thad Turner live at Bonham, Tex. , Tom Tatum, at Farmersville, Tex. , Eli Graham, at Harrison, Ark., and C. C. Middleton, in Benton, Ark. These I met at Dallas. Ed Town, I learn, was there, but I failed to meet him. Ben F. Schultz is at Tazewell, Tenn. T. Johnson is in Kansas City, Mo. William Prophet is at Hartsville, Mo. James Prophet is at Carthage, Mo. Tom Lair is in Boone County, Ark. George M. Jones, June Blackburn, William P. Dabbs, and Frank White are at Springfield, Mo., and J. W. Blakey is in Collin County, Tex.-p.17 Confederate Veteran January 1903. Cannon, Elihu W., Captain-Text: E. W. Cannon was born at Darlington, S. C., October 3, 1841, and died in Hartsville, S. C. December 23, 1911.When the war between the sections broke out, young Cannon was a cadet attending the military academy of D. H. Hill (afterwards Lieutenant General Hill). The superintendent: went into service in Virginia at once and the cadets went to their homes. E. W. Cannon enlisted at once with the Hartsville Light Infantry, and was promoted to be color sergeant to bear the beautiful silk flag presented to the company by the ladies of Hartsville. Very soon he was promoted to lieutenant of the company, and soon became conspicuous for his soldierly bearing and for his cheerful and enthusiastic devotion to duty. He was first lieutenant of Company E, 6th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry, and in the severe engagements atWilliamsburg, Seven Pines, Gaines's Mill, and Frazier's Farm he was conspicuous. He attracted the attention of the superior officers by his courageous conduct and his coolness and good judgment under fire. He was publicly commended as an officer of unusual qualities and promise. At Frazier's Farm he received the desperate wounds that caused the amputation of his right leg and incapacitated him for further service. After the close of the war, about 1876, E. W. Cannon came to the front again. While he walked with a wooden leg, he was able to ride horseback. Our cherishe civilization was in jeopardy, the safety of our homes, the preservation of life and property were at stake. Wicked and corrupt men duped the black people and obtained control of the State. Then it was that E. W. Cannon came to our relief by organizing and leading a red shirt company, and succeeded in driving from office those who had debauched the State. Captain Cannon during his whole life was noted for his patriotism. Governor Hampton appointed him County Treasurer, which office he filled with credit. Before this he had served two terms in the State legislature from Darlington County. Captain Cannon was ever loyal to the memories of the Confederacy. On Sunday, the day before Christmas, his mutilated body, clad in his gray uniform, was buried in the Presbyterian cemetery of Hartsville. A large crowd of sympathizing friends-p.127 Confederate Veteran March 1912-were at his grave to manifest their sorrow and respect for the noble patriot and Christian. He was an active and consistent member of the Hartsville Presbyterian Church. Carlisle, J. F.-Text: J. F. Carlisle was born June 22, 1842, and died at his home, in Union County, Miss., June 19, 1910, nearly completing his sixty eighth year. He entered the Confederate service in 1862 under Bragg. and was in many hard fought battles. He was badly wounded at Perryville, and after his recovery he was transferred to Wheeler's Cavalry, in the 12th Mississippi, where he remained until the close of the war. He was a faithful and loyal soldier, and as a citizen stood high in the estimation of his fellow men. He was married to Miss Martha J. Haney in December, 1863, and of their nine children seven survive, three of whom live in Texas. Two of his sons are noted physicians of that State. Vol.18,1910 Carroll, J. G.-Text: On June 24, 1905, the gallant Confederate veteran, J. G. Carroll, of Starkville, Miss., "crossed over the river" to rest, in the seventy fourth year of his age. He was born near Birmingham, Ala., and reared at Carrollton, Miss., going from there to Oktibbeha County in 1857. He volunteered and went out in the 35th Mississippi Infantry in the spring of 1861, in which he served as assistant surgeon until the surrender of Vicksburg, 1863. He was then elected a member of the Mississippi Legislature, to which body he was elected repeatedly after the war, and thus became known and respected over the State. His wife, two sons, and three daughters survive him. Vol.1906 Carson, James Marsh, Captain-Text: Born in Charleston Aug.1831, and died in Sumpter, S.C., Feb.17,1888. He graduated at the South Carolina College in the class of 1850, with Barnwell, Rion, Elliott, Bratton, Gist, and others, all of whom were afterwards conspicuous in the history of the State. Entering a commercial career in 1851, he soon became active in business circles, and quickly won, and retained through life, the confidence and respect of the entire community. His membership in the Washington Light Infantry, of Charleston began early, and ended only with his life. When the War between the States developed, the Washington Light Infantry was mustered in as part of the 25th S.Carolina Volunteers, Hagood’s Brigade, and formed the first two companies of that famous command. He was appointed captain of Co.A and served throughout the war in that capacity. During the battle of Fort Sumpter he so equaled every emergencey that he became a trusted leader. When Ft.Sumpter was evacuated by Maj.Anderson, Capt.Carson was sent with the company to take possession of and garrison the fort. In the battles of Walthall Junction, Seccessionville, Battery Wagner, Drury’s Bluff, Petersburg, and Fort Fisher, he was complimented for distinguished service. While leading the charge at Swift’s Creek, he was severely wounded in the arm. On return, Jan.10,1865, Capt.Carson was placed in command of the regiment, Col.Simonton having been assigned command of the Fort Caswell. Soon afterwards, they were ordered to Ft.Fisher; and while repulsing an attack, he was wounded in the head, captured and taken to a prison, where he was confined until the general surrender.-Confederate Veteran:v.11, p.419, 420 Carwile, Thomas W., General-UCV-Text: Widespread sorrow exists by the death of Gen. Thomas W. Carwile, of Edgefield, S. C., which occurred suddenly at his home on December 17, 1908. This gallant soldier and good citizen had been in ill health for several months, but his death at the time was a great shock. On the afternoon before he read the December VETERAN and discussed various topics with his wife. A special sent to the Columbia State says: "The deceased had fought throughout the war with devoted valor and patriotism and was promoted to the rank of major in the Confederate service. His interest in Confederate history, records, reminiscences, and celebrations was always great and unselfish, He was sixty five years of age. In young manhood he married Miss Mary Eliza McClintock, who, with five sons and one daughter, survives him. They are Mrs. Robert A. Marsh and Messrs. Julian, Walter, Thomas, Joseph, and Baldwin Carwile. He also leaves one brother and four sisters. He will be buried on Saturday morning from Trinity Episcopal Church, of which he was junior warden and a very active and generous member and zealous communicant." The State says further of him: "The news of the death of Thomas W. Carwile in Edgefield caused universal regret. General Carwile was very popular in Columbia, having visited here many times both in business and as a leading member of the South Carolina Division of the United Confederate Veterans, of which he had been the head since 1903. Thomas W. Carwile was a gallant Confederate soldier. He enlisted in the 14th South Carolina Regiment, under the command of Col. James Jones, and afterwards the gallant W. D. Simpson, who was later a member of the Confederate Congress and Chief Justice of the State. In the battle of Frayser's Farm General Carwile made a record for gallantry, and advanced in one day from private to captain. The order came for the 13th, 14th, and 12th South Carolina Regiments to carry the breastworks, behind which the Union soldiers were strongly intrenched. General McGowan wanted some one to carry the colors. 'The man who carries these colors must lead the way and must stop at nothing. The troops will follow,' said the General. To carry the flag in that hail of bullets meant almost certain death. Thomas W. Carwile, then a beardless youth, stepped forward and grasped the flag. A headlong charge was made with Carwile in the lead, the breastworks were taken, and the battle won. The next day the young man was made a captain for 'conspicuous gallantry.' He was placed in charge of a company from Darlington, arid served through the war, always at the head of his troops and winning praise from his superiors and the respect and admiration of his men. After the war he returned to this State and took up the work of upbuilding the State and in redeeming it from the rule of the Radicals. He was one of the first to assist in organizing the United Confederate Veterans, and his work as head of that organization is too familiar to the people of the State to need recalling. After the death of Gen. Wade Hampton, who was the head of the Army of Northern Virginia, Gen. C. Irvine Walker was made the head of that survivors' organization. At the next meeting of the United Confederate Veterans, South Carolina Division, General Carwile was elected to succeed General Walker as the General commanding the Palmetto Division, and remained as its chief. His wise counsel, his devotion to the cause and to all of the members made him a conspicuous figure, and his death will he universally mourned in this and other Southern States. On hearing of the death yesterday Governor Ansel sent a telegram of sympathy to Mrs. Carwile and the family. Governor Ansel and General Carwile were warm personal friends, and when the news of the death of General Carwile was received, the Governor was profoundly shocked." In his report of the battles of Gaines's Mill and Frayser's Farm, No. 337, Series I., Volume II., Part II., "Official War Records," Col. Samuel McGowan said: "I called upon Company D (the flag company) for a flag bearer, and T. W. Carwile, quite a youth, volunteered to carry it, and did carry it through the fight with great gallantry. It was struck by balls five times during the conflict, and yet young Carwile escaped unhurt. I recommend young Carwile to the favorable consideration of the general for his distinguished gallantry."Vol.17,1909 Chandler, Benjamin S.-Text: Benjamin S. Chandler was born August 12, 1846, and died on June 5, 1909. He volunteered in the 9th Mississippi Cavalry, Ferguson's Brigade, Wheeler's Cavalry, in January, 1864, and made a good soldier, discharging his duties faithfully and cheerfully. He served with his command in the Dalton Atlanta campaign and from Atlanta to Savannah and on to Greensboro, N. C., where the command was made a part of President Davis's escort. At Washington, Ga., about the 5th of May, 1865, the command surrendered and secured paroles. Comrade Chandler then returned to his home, in Mississippi, where he made an estimable citizen, having the good will and confidence of the community. He was a member of the Christian Church, and also identified with Camp Ben Robertson, U. C. V. This comrade was the only brother of A, M. Chandler, of Abbott, Miss., long and faithful friend of the VETERAN. Vol.18,1910 Chandler, James Anderson was born January 30, 1842, and died November 28, 1915. He was mustered into the Confederate service on July II, 1861, and proceeded to Richmond, Va., where a regiment was organized.

V., and he gave faithful and honorable service during the entire conflict. He was twice made prisoner, first at South Mountain, Md., September 14, 1862, when he was detailed as a nurse for wounded comrades until exchanged. He was again captured at Knoxville, Tenn., November 29, 1864, and again detailed as a nurse for wounded comrades, and he was finally sent to prison at Rock Island, III., where he remained until paroled and sent home in 1865. In September, 1865, he was married to Miss Nancy Catharine McGinnis, from which union there were born eleven children, six sons and five daughters. Forty-six grandchildren (thirtyeight now' living) and nine great-grandchildren make the number of his descendants. Our comrade was born in a family of fifteen children, thirteen sons and two daughters. He had seven brothers in the Confederate service, three of whom survive him. He was a charter member of Camp John H. Morgan, No. 1330, U. C. V., of Commerce, Ga., of which he was Ensign till his death. [Tribute by his comrade and lifelong friend, G. W.

Stuart, Wade Hampton, Fitzhugh Lee, and M. L. Butler, successively, throughout the entire war. Young Chase was a dashing cavalryman under these illustrious men and a fine soldier. Major Chase was one of the old style Southern gentlemen so rapidly passing away. Kind hearted and true, he was much esteemed by those who knew him in every walk of life.

Cheatham, of Nashville, a veteran of the Frank Cheatham Bivouac, who was ever proud of his service to the Confederate Cause, is on the list who have “Crossed the River.” 1896 Confederate Veteran:p.607 Childress, John W., Judge-Text: Judge John W. Childress was a native of Rutherford County, Tenn., a member of one of the prominent families of the State. Of several sons, he was given his father's name. (His father was a brother of Mrs. James K. Polk). He was educated at the Davis Military School, in Murfreesboro, and in the Nashville Military College. In the latter institution he was a student when the war broke out. With his military training he was assigned to duty as drillmaster of new troops at Bowling Green, Ky. He was taken prisoner at Fort Donelson and sent to Johnson's Island. In the fall of 1862 he was exchanged and reentered the Confederate army as adjutant of the 50th Tennessee. He continued in that capacity till the close, surrendering with Johnston's army at Greensboro, N. C. Soon after the war he traveled through Europe, Egypt, and Palestine. On his return he studied law with the noted firm of Ridley & Avent, which later became Avent & Childress. Judge Childress moved to Nashville and engaged in the practice of law. He was President and Business Manager of the Nashville American, and in many other capacities was ever a faithful public servant. He took an active interest in politics, being one of the advisers of the Democratic leaders through many administrations. His interest was maintained until he took his seat upon the bench, and his suggestions played a part in many of the political battles of Tennessee. He successfully engaged in the campaign of Gen. Jno. C. Brown, his brother in law, for Governor. Judge Childress was an alternate delegate from the State at large in the second Cleveland nomination. The election of Cleveland placed him as assistant in the District Attorney's office. His most notable legal connection was with the firm of Colyar, Marks & Childress, the esteemed senior member of which, Col. A. S. Colyar, died last December. Mr. Colyar served in the Confederate Congress, Colonel Marks became Governor of Tennessee, and Captain Childress declined an appointment to the United States Senate. In 1896 Gov. Peter Turney appointed Judge Childress to the circuit bench to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Claude Waller, who resigned. He was elected at the next general election, and in 1902 was elected again. Of his judicial ability, Chief Justice W. D. Beard said: "Judge Childress was a man of splendid equipoise, with a sense of justice that was very superior. Among the circuit judges of the State he ranked with the foremost. He always sought the merits of the case and did his best to see that exact justice was administered."He was married December 13, 1870, to Miss Mary Lyon, of Columbus, Miss. (daughter of Rev. Dr. Jas. A. Lyon, of the Presbyterian Church), and he was an active elder for several years in the Moore Memorial Church, Nashville. A. L. Childress, of Nashville, John W. Childress, Jr., of Washington, D. C., and Avent Childress, of New York, are three excellent sons of this union. Judge Childress was the first to suggest the splendid monument to President Jefferson Davis erected in Richmond. AA-Childress, Thomas G.-Text:Thomas G.Childress died at his home, Springfield, Mo., Jan.25,1901, of pneumonia. He was sixty four years of age. He was born and reared in Gasconade Co., Mo. At the outbreak of the war, in 1861, he espoused the cause of the South and enlisted in the confederate military service, Co.F-8th Missouri Infanty. He attained the rank of fist sergeant in the ranks in one of the color guards of his regiment. An unusual romance, and perhaps one which no other soldier experienced, occurred in the life of Mr.Childress. When he joined the army he left a young wife at home, and during the progress of the war he was captured, and for a time was confined in the St.Louis arsenal. From there he was sent to the Alton military prison, and subsequently to Sandusky, Ohio. During all this time the young wife back in Missouri mourned her soldier as dead. The war closed and Childress returned to Missouri, but he could find no trace of his wife and family, finally giving up the hope of ever seeing her again. Drifting to one of the Sourthern states, the lonely veteran found another love, and was again made happy by the companionship of a wife. After several years Childress’s Southern bride died, and he came back to Missouri, and in wandering around, to his amazement and joy, he found his first love, who was then a widow, having married another man after giving up Childress as dead. The second husband had died some years before Childress returned to Missouri. When the widow and her long lost husband met each other the old-time love burned within their hearts, and they were remarried. Confederate Veteran:v.9, p.80 Chipley, William Dudley, Col.-The death of Col.W.D.Chipley (or Gen.Chipley, in the Confederate Veteran organization), which occurred in Washington, D.C., Dec.1,1897, is regarded as a calamity, as he was prominent in many enterprises.

Chipley moved with his parents back to Lexington when he was four years old, and was raised for all of his formative years in Kentucky. He graduated from the Kentucky Military Institute and Transylvania University. After graduation from Transylvania, he enlisted in 9th Kentucky Infantry, fighting for the Confederacy. He was elevated to the position of lieutenant colonel and was wounded at the battles of Shiloh and Chickamauga before being taken prisoner at the Battle of Peachtree Creek near Atlanta. As a prisoner of war, Chipley was transported to Johnson`s Island on Lake Erie in Ohio, and served time there until the war was over. In mid-1865, he settled in Columbus, Georgia and married Ann Elizabeth Billups, the daughter of a prominent Phenix City, Alabama planter. Chipley would later be implicated in the Ashburn affair. He was brought to trial, in which the federal government attempted to jail Chipley for his role in the murders of the soldiers he fought during the Civil War. With Alexander Stephens representing the defense, Chipley was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. It was only revealed later that Mrs. Chipley had in her possession a letter Stephens wrote to Chipley, in which the government apologized to Chipley and offered him freedom because the prosecution had no evidence. Chipley turned down the offer, and instead waited for vindication at the trial. Chipley became fascinated with the railroad industry shortly after the Ashburn affair trial. He built what would become the Columbus and Rome Railroad, and later became involved with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from 1873 to 1876. It was at this time that he moved to Pensacola, Florida, where he built the town`s first railroad (this line would eventually become a part of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad). He also built the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad, linking the Atlantic coast of Florida with the Gulf Coast states for the first time. His achievements in the railroad industry inspired the residents of Orange to name their town Chipley in 1882. Chipley created the Democratic Executive Committee in Muscogee County, Georgia in the late 1860s, and was its first director. He later served as director of the Florida Democratic Executive Committee. After opening the two rail lines in Pensacola, he parlayed his industrial success into one term as the mayor of the town (1887-1888). He also served in the Florida State Legislature from 1895 to 1897, and lost his bid for United States Senator in 1896 by one vote. While on a trip to Washington, DC, Chipley died on December 1, 1897. He was in the middle of a trip to lobby lawmakers to base more industrial endeavors in Florida. He was buried in Columbus, while the townspeople of Pensacola erected an obelisk in the Plaza Ferdinand VII in his honor. Parents:William Stout Chipley (1810 - 1880) Elizabeth Fannin Chipley (1819 - 1873) Chisholm, Alexander C., Lieut-Text:vol.19,1911-A. C. Chisholm, who died at Florence, Ala., in June, 1911, was born in Nashville, Tenn., in March, 1840. His father, Rufus K. Chisholm, moved with his family to Lauderdale County, Ala., about 1856, and at the beginning of the War between the States four of his sons entered the Confederate service, Alexander and John enlisting in Capt. E. A. O'Neal's company, which was raised at and about Center Star, in Lauderdale County. Alex Chisholm was elected ensign of the company, and carried to Virginia the beautiful Confederate flag which was presented to the company by the ladies of Center Star. After passing through many of the severe battles in Virginia, he was captured at Gettysburg, and remained a prisoner of war at Johnson's Island and Fort Delaware the rest of the time. When the war ended he returned home, taught school two or three years, and then located in Florence, where he had resided afterwards. In 1874 he married Miss Pocahontas, daughter of Hon. Z. P. Morrison, and to them were born four children, two of whom Dr. W. R. and Miss Nova survive him. His wife died many years ago and he never remarried. Alex Chisholm was a gallant soldier. He was devoted to the cause of the South, and ever held that it was constitutionally right in the fight it made. He was a man of retiring disposition, was not a great talker, but a good listener. Such a man is always popular. His friends loved him, and those who knew him best loved him most. For many years he was connected with the Tax Collector's office, first as a deputy, and later he was elected to that office, by which time his health had begun to fail, and finally he resigned on that account. At no time of his life was there ever a whisper against his good name, and he stood high as a citizen. Mason, and Christian gentleman. He was proud of his record as a Confederate soldier, proud of his Southern blood, and proud of the record made by our armies. He was proud of his friends, and no man would go farther for his friends than he. He was never known to drink an intoxicant. At the last moment he said, "There is nothing in the way," and passed to "where silent tears are spread." And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. Christian, William Steptoe, Colonel-Text:Col. William S. Christian, who died on December 10, 1910. at the ripe age of fourscore years, was a remarkable man. His long life was passed in Middlesex County, with which section his family had been identified closely for more than two centuries. He was the son of Dr. Richard Allen Christian, a notable figure of his time, and of Elizabeth Steptoe, who was descended on the maternal side from Christopher Robinson, who had obtained grant from the crown of large landed property in what was then the county of Lancaster, Va., afterwards Middlesex. The homestead tract of that grant is still known as "Hewick." The Robinsons were people of distinction in England and in the Dominion, a brother of Christopher having been Bishop of Bristol and later of London, and one of the family was Speaker of the House of Burgesses in the colonial period. His father's family also produced some men of mark in their successive generations. Early in life William Christian studied medicine, and his whole life was directed to the relief of suffering humanity. His inclination was military. Some years before the outbreak of the Civil War Dr. Christian organized a troop of volunteer cavalry in his native county, and at the first call of his State their services were promptly tendered, and they were mustered into the Confederate army on July 8, 1861. This troop became a part of the 55th Virginia Infantry. They so served through the war, taking part in most of the campaigns of Lee's army under Hill and Jackson. William Christian soon rose to field rank, and as lieutenant colonel of his regiment was severely wounded at Frazier's Farm on June 30, 1862, and disabled for further service in that campaign. He returned to duty soon after the battle of Fredericksburg, and he was again wounded at Chancellorsville the following spring. In that battle his regiment lost all its field officers and all its captains, being commanded at the close of the battle by a first lieutenant. Colonel Christian was in command at Gettysburg, and participated in the last assault upon Cemetery Hill, but was captured in a minor affair at Falling Waters some days later, with a large part of his command. He was taken to Johnson's Island. During his confinement he rendered efficient service in the hospitals of the prison camp, where his professional skill and experience were much needed. He was exchanged in the spring of 1864, and returned to duty with his regiment, of which he was then continuously in command to the close of the war. He returned home and resumed his practice, in which he had many a close grapple with death no less heroic than when facing the foe in battle. To him, as to his great chief, duty was the sublimest word of the language, and he did it, and to him has come the Master's voice, saying: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

FRANCIS MARION COCKRELL, lawyer, soldier and United States Senator from Missouri, died in Washington, D. C, on December 13, 1915. Born in Johnson county, Missouri, on October 1, 1834, he was reared on a farm, and received part of his education at Chapel Hill College, in Lafayette county, Missouri, where he graduated in 1853. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1855, and began the practice of his profession at Warrensburg. At the outbreak of the Civil War he espoused the Southern cause, was soon elected a captain, and rose through the ranks of lieutenant colonel and colonel to brigadier general. He saw service in Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. In March, 1866, full amnesty was granted to General Cockrell and he returned to Warrensburg and took up his practice. His associate was the late former Gov. T. T. Crittenden, but his ambition soon led him into politics. In 1872 he became a candidate for governor and was defeated in the Democratic State convention by Silas S. Woodson by one-sixth of a vote. He made such an earnest campaign for his successful rival that, in 1874, he was chosen United States Senator to succeed Carl Schurz. He served the State and Nation as United States Senator for thirty years, from 1875 to 1905. In the latter year a Republican Legislature, after a factional deadlock, elected William Warner to succeed him. President Roosevelt's comment on this change was that the people of Missouri had lost a faithful servant, but that the government would not lose him, and he appointed Cockrell a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. He served on this commission until 1910, and later served as a commissioner to re-establish the boundary between Texas and New Mexico, and as a civilian member of the Board of Ordnance and Fortifications. The fame of Senator Francis Marion Cockrell and his place in Missouri history rests on his record as a soldier and a statesman. Although his military record does not equal that of either Alexander W. Doniphan or General Sterling Price, nor his civil record compare either in brilliance of oratory to that of Missouri's "Little Senator," George Graham Vest, or in views of statesmanship to those of Thomas H. Benton, Francis Marion Cockrell was one of the most admired men Missouri has sent to the Halls of Congress, was one of the most respected men by both Democrats and Republicans, and was one of the most beloved statesmen in Washington, D. C. His public record was clean; his acts as a soldier and senator were untarnished by a single base motive or cowardly deed. Bravery, discipline and efficiency made "Cockrell's Brigade" of Missourians known throughout the Southland. Unselfishness, integrity, and industry endeared Cockrell to Missourians on the field and forum. When defeated for the Democratic nomination for Governor by only one-sixth of a vote, it is said that while the cheering for his successful opponent was at its height Cockrell sent his wide, broadbrimmed hat flying to the top of the convention hall. "What are you throwing up your hat for?" one of his supporters asked. "No man can support the nominee of the Democrat party more heartily than I," replied Cockrell. It was such words as these, indicative of the man's heart and mind, that made Francis Marion Cockrell beloved by thousands of political friends and foes, and idolized by Missourians. The word of Cockrell was doubted by none. Although on the minority side in the Senate the reports from his committee were generally accepted and favorably acted upon by his opponents. The greatest confidence was reposed in his integrity and industry. The St. Louis Globe Democrat, Dec. 14, 1915, in an editorial said in part: "Cleanhanded and clean-hearted he had, for nearly a generation in the Senate, held himself free from all attaint. He never failed to use every bit of strength he had to do a proper service for any constituent, regardless of politics. Often he arose from a sick bed to help out a constituent, merely because he came from Missouri. Gentle, simple and hospitable he was beloved by all. His Republican colleagues would do him any personal favor he asked. Even his eccentricities became adorable and Missourians yet unborn will be told stories about Senator Cockrell and his cobpipe and linen duster." The St. Louis Republic of December 14, 1915, in an editorial also said in part: "One striking fact which runs through all this record is the confidence which his personality inspired in other men. He became a Captain without military experience. He became a United States Senator without having held any civil office. An uncompromising Democrat, he held positions of trust and honorunder two Republican administrations. When Champ Clark nominated him for the presidency in the convention held in St. Louis in 1904, William Jennings Bryan seconded the nomination and declared before the convention that he would be willing to give Senator Cockrell the nomination and let him write his own platform. The confidence which was reposed in him in so many and such varied relations was never violated. He died as he had lived, a fearless, patriotic, honest man."- Missouri historical review, Volume 10, Parts 1-4-By State Historical Society of Missouri Colbert, John A.-Text:Vol.17,1909-Hon. John A.

He was bound to a Mr.Lane, who brought him to Texas in 1852. Mr.Lane died in Eastern Texas, leaving him without a home or an acquaintance, in the fourteenth year of his age. At this time the county of Wise was being organized, and the boy’s courageous spirit directed and assisted him through an unsettled country one hundred and fifty miles into Wise County. When he arrived there, homeless and a stranger, a good man, J.D.White, gave him a home and one year’s schooling free of charge. His manly bearing, good conduct, and moral habits and qualifications attracted the only merchant in Wise County, who tendered him a position in his store. This he filled with honor until the 15th of March, 1862. At this date Comrade Collins joined Capt.G.B.Pickett’s Co. of Volunteers, which became part of the 15th Texas Cavalry, with Col George H.Sweet, in command. The regiment was sent on the 1st of May to Pine Bluff, Ark., when Comrade Collins was elected 1st Lieutenant of his company. His first active engagement occurred about July 1,1862 near Batesville, Ark., with two hundred and fifty Federal soldiers, in which the company lost several men and was defeated.

Cunningham, William E., Capt.Buried:Rest Haven Cemetery, Franklin, Tenn.-Page-322 Confederate Veteran November 1894 THERE is a peculiar sorrow in the death of Capt. W. E.Cunningham,".who died at Franklin, Tenn., November 22. He enlisted as a private in the Co.F-41st Tennessee Infantry, but succeeded to the captaincy of his company, the Shelbyville Rebels. He was a bright genial gentleman, and perhaps the most popular man in the regiment. In that awful carnage at Franklin, November 30, 1864, when his right eye had been shot out, he called to the writer, saying: " Sumner, I'm wounded." Emaciated and very feeble from paralysis at the Confederate Home a year ago, he was being driven about the extensive premises, when he gave cheerful account of the HOME feeling there, stating that he had been out on a stroll with a comrade and sought to acquaint himself with their neighbors, and seeing a large wheat field, asked: "Whose is that?" "Ours" was the reply. Again in a large pasture with cattle in the clover, the same question was asked, and again " Ours " was responded in a spirit that made him feel indeed at home.

Wilfred E. Cutshaw died in Richmond after a prolonged illness. The Times Dispatch states: "The end of his long and eventful life, characterized by great achievement on the field of battle and in the upbuilding of the municipality which he had faithfully served for thirty four years, came peacefully." His wife died in 1890. His mother died on Christmas day, 1906, at the age of ninety four years. He had no children. Colonel Cutshaw took hold of the rebuilding and reconstruction of the city after it had been ravaged by war. In that work he had to encounter a world of difficulties and tribulations. He planned the erection of the City Hall, the finest structure in Richmond, he made the lines and grades for the streets and avenues, he laid out the parks and boulevards. His greatest ambition was to turn every available foot of space into recreation resorts for the public, and especially the children. Colonel Cutshaw spent almost every afternoon in his carriage, driving to the east and west end sections, inspecting sewer work and directing his assistants. There was not a question about the city which he could not answer thoroughly, explicitly, and in detail. He demanded and received the best that was in his assistants, and yet with it all he was as gentle as a child. Colonel Cutshaw was born at Harper's Ferry, Va., now West Virginia, on January 25, 1838. His father was George W. Cutshaw, a native of Loudoun County, Va., who died in 1887. The grandfather of Colonel Cutshaw was John W. Cutshaw, a Maryland farmer, who was a veteran of the War of 1812. The Cutshaw family were of Scotch extraction. His-p.84 Confederate Veteran February 1908.-mother, Martha J. Moxley, was born in Alexandria, and was of English ancestry. Colonel Cutshaw, after preparation at home and at a local academy, entered the Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, where he graduated in 1858 with a thorough knowledge of civil and military engineering, a profession to which he had given the study of a lifetime. Colonel Cutshaw became in 1859 an instructor in the Hampton Military Institute, continuing there until the spring of 1861, when he resigned to enter the service of the Confederate army. In April, 1861, Colonel Cutshaw was made a first lieutenant in the regular army and assigned to a battalion of artillery in the brigade of Gen. T. J. Jackson. In the spring of 1862 he was promoted to captain of artillery, in the fall of 1862 he was made a major, and in February, 1865, he became a lieutenant colonel, with command of a battalion of artillery. Colonel Cutshaw's war record was exceptionally brilliant. He participated in the operations of General Magruder in the Peninsula in the summer of 1861 and in the campaigns of Jackson in the Valley in the spring of 1862. He was severely wounded in the battle of Winchester, in May, 1862, when a bullet pierced his left knee, and he was captured by the Federal forces. He remained a prisoner until exchanged, in April, 1863. Having been pronounced by a medical examining board as unfit for active duty, he was assigned as acting commander of cadets at the Virginia Military Institute, J position which he held until September, 1863, when he applied for readmission into the Confederate army, and was accepted, although his wound was unhealed. He was assigned to duty as inspector general of artillery, Second Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, participating in a number of battles in 1863 and 1864. In February, 1865, he received his rank of lieutenant colonel of artillery, in which capacity heserved until April, 1865, when in the battle of Sailor's Creek, just three days before the surrender at Appomattox, he received a wound in his right leg, and the next morning the leg was amputated between the knee and the hip. For a year after the war Colonel Cutshaw engaged in temporary pursuits. In September, 1866, he was appointed assistant professor of mathematics in the Virginia Military Institute, the position held previous to the war by Stonewall Jackson. In the fall of 1873 he was elected City Engineer of the city of Richmond, a position which he had ably and acceptably filled for more than thirty four years. During his service as City Engineer of Richmond Colonel Cutshaw saw the city practically rebuilt. Perhaps the most notable work of the City Engineer's Department in this period was the construction of the City Hall, which was built by day labor under the personal supervision of Colonel Cutshaw and his assistants. Known everywhere as a man of iron will, of indomitable perseverance, and of the highest integrity, Colonel Cutshaw ever guarded jealously the city's interests. Widely known in his profession, Colonel Cutshaw was an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, He also held membership in the Royal Arcanum, the Virginia Historical Society, and the Southern Historical Society. He was for many years the President of the Society of the Alumni of the Virginia Military Institute, and an active member and patron of the Richmond Y. M. C. A. Colonel Cutshaw was twice married, his first wife being Mrs. E. S. Norfleet, whom he married in December, 1876. She died two months later, in January, 1877. In January, 1890, he married Miss M. W. Morton, of Richmond, who died in December of the same year. Gen. R. E. Lee, though at the time a resident of Lexington, took an active interest in securing for Colonel Cutshaw the position of City Engineer for Richmond. Daggett, F. H., Sgt.-Text:Vol.19,1911- Sergt. F.

Text:Vol. 20, 1912- Sergt. F. M. Daggett died at West Point, Miss., June ii, 1912. I knew Fred from childhood, and we were classmates in school until the war began, enlisting at the same time with the Pontotoc Minute Men, which became Company C, 2d Mississippi Infantry. We were messmates in the army and were captured at Gettysburg and in prison together at Fort "Delaware. I never knew him to miss a roll call or shirk a duty. He was true in every sense.While at Fort Delaware he wrote to an aunt for some money. She replied that if he would take the oath of allegiance to the United States she would send him as much as he wanted. He answered her that he took an oath to support the Constitution of the Confederate States, and as long as there was a Confederacy he expected to keep that oath. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Mobile Reunion for the first time in nearly forty years. We had both grown old and gray, and were grandfathers. Of course we were glad to meet again, but didn't recognize each other at first. He wrote me soon after he got home, and that was the last I heard of him till I saw an account of his death in the VETERAN. He has gone to meet the majority of that gay company of over one hundred young men who left their homes on a bright April day in 1861. [From sketch by C W.

He returned to Virginia, that his last days might be spent among the people he knew and loved the best. Confederate Veteran:v.9, p.373 Dickison, John Jackson, Col.-General UCV Text:Born:Mar.27,1816 Died:Aug.23,1902 Ocala, Fla.-Buried:Evergreen Cemetery, Jacksonville, Fla.-Tstone/Picture-Maj. Gen. E. M. Law, commanding the Florida Division, U. C. V., issues through Fred L. Robertson, Chief of Staff, Special Order No. 15, to the memory of Gen. J. J. Dickison, "the great soldier and patriot," in which he says: With feelings of the deepest sorrow the Major General commanding the Florida Division, United Confederate Veterans, announces the decease of one of the truest, bravest, and best of the defenders of the 'Southern Cross.' 'Death loves a shining mark,' and in Gen. Dickison he found a target bright enough, noble enough to satisfy his most exacting demands. In the death of Gen. Dickison the State loses one of her bravest sons, and his comrades of this Division a most faithful friend. A leader among leaders, he was the hope and defense of the State in the dark days of the Civil War, the only safeguard of the people against the foe that swarmed on every side. He swept from place to place with such rapidity and secrecy that even his name struck terror to the hearts of the enemy and made them fearful of every move. While he was like a whirlwind in battle, he was as tender as a woman to suffering and sorrow. No matter whether of friend or foe, affliction always appealed to him with irresistible power, and he never neglected an opportunity to do all that lay in his power to afford relief. No man in Florida was ever loved and trusted as he, and few men in any land will ever find the place in the hearts of a people that Gen. Dickison found in the hearts and homes of the Floridians. Grand in war, he was grander in peace. In the darkest day of adversity and personal suffering, he was always the same gentle, loving man, fearless in his advocacy of right and daring in the defense of his friends. "An earnest, humble Christian, a loving husband and indulgent-(p.420 Confederate Veteran September 1902)-father, a true and loyal friend, he leaves as a heritage to his people and his State a memory rich in noble deeds, full of kindly works for his fellow man, and unsullied by a single act of injustice and uncharitableness. Gen. Dickison was born in Virginia and moved to South Carolina when a boy, locating at Georgetown, where he engaged in merchandising and planting. From South Carolina he came to Florida a number of years before the war, and settled in Marion County. He was a soldier by birth, and delighted in the profession of arms. In his early manhood he look a prominent part in the military affairs of South Carolina, being adjutant general of the militia. His war record in Florida is a story of splendid success. After the war he showed himself as good a citizen as he had been a brilliant soldier. Upon the election of Gov. Drew, in 1876, Gen. Dickison was appointed Adjutant General of the State, and filled the position with honor for four years. When the Florida Division, United Confederate Veterans, was organized, in December, 1891, he was unanimously elected Commander, a position he filled for six consecutive terms. Upon his retiring from active duty he was unanimously elected Honorary Commander of the Division for life. The members of the general staff, the Camps of this Division, and the soldiers of Florida will neglect no means at their command to do fitting honor to his name and to impress the memory of Gen, Dickison and the story of his deeds upon the hearts of their children, that he may have a lasting monument in the love and veneration of all Floridians.Of the thrilling and pathetic events in the war few are equal to this noble soldier carrying the body of his dead son on his horse in front of him from the battlefield. Many thrilling stories are told in his book, "Dickison and His Men." It can be procured through Mrs. Dickison, Ocala, Fla.-Per FAG: Civil War Confederate Army Officer. Known as the "Swamp Fox", in 1862, he personally raised Company H of the 2nd Florida Cavalry, and was named its Captain and commander. In May 1864, he and 50 of his cavalrymen captured the Union steamer "Columbine", a maneuver which resulted in not a single loss to the Confederates. Days later, at Palatka, Florida, he and 30 troops pushed an invading 280-man Union battalion six miles back to the St. John's River, with casualties amounting to 72 on the Federal side, and only 2 on the Confederate side. In August 1864, John Dickison, 175 of his men, and two very small companies of Confederate cavalry routed 380 Federal cavalrymen at Gainesville, capturing 150 Union prisoners and killing 30, with a Rebel loss of one man killed, 5 wounded. He himself was never wounded, but his son Charles was killed in Palatka while fighting under his father's command. He received his commission to Colonel in May 1865, just a few days after the surrender of all CSA troops. After the war, he was six times elected as Commander of the Florida Division of United Confederate Veterans. He wrote the Florida volume of "Confederate Military History", a 12-volume series written by distinguished men of the South.

He was just ready for Davidson College when the war came on, and he enlisted promptly in the 4th S.Carolina, serving there for the first twelve months, and then joined the cavalry under Hampton. By his bravery and efficiency he won a lieutenancy, and during the illness of his captain, John C.Calhoun, he commanded the company. From the battle of Manassas to within ninety days of the close of the war, he did not miss an engagement in which his company participated. At the battle of Fayetteville, N.C., however, with seven saber cuts, wounded in side and hip, he was dragged from his horse, and left unconscious on the field. After the war he returned to Pendleton and engaged in merchandising for a number of years, and then turned to farming, and at the time of his death owned several fine plantations.

Buried:Forest Hills Cemetery, Chattanooga, Tenn. Picture- Col. Dodson was one of seven brothers, six of whom served in the Confederate army and two had been soldiers in the Mexican war. At the first call of his State, in 1861, for twelve months' troops he responded, and, as lieutenant in a company from Catoosa County, was sent to Pensacola, Fla. He soon resigned from this company, joined another as private, was afterwards elected captain, and at the expiration of the twelve months he reenlisted, organized Company D, of the First Georgia Confederate Regiment, was again elected captain, and served with this regiment to the close of the war. In the battle of Missionary Ridge, November 25, 1863, he was shot through the head, the ball passing through just below the brain. He was carried from the field, although his life was despaired of. He finally recovered, and was promoted to major for his gallantry at Missionary Ridge. On June 19, 1864, when the Federals had broken part of our line at Kennesaw Mountain, Col. Dodson, then in command of his regiment, was ordered to restore it, which he did, leading the charge, but at a fearful cost, a bullet entering his groin became imbedded in his spine, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. The ball could not be extracted, and that was finally the cause of his death. For conspicuous gallantry lie was again recommended for promotion, this time to lieutenant colonel, but, having been permanently disabled, he was not commissioned. At the close of the war Col. Dodson began the practice of law at Ringgold, Ga. and in June, 1866, married Miss Frances, a daughter of Capt. Hamilton Germany, a pioneer set ' tier of that section and a prominent man.

Died:Sep.7,1899-Buried:Sylvania Cemetery, Sylvania, Ga.- p.84 Confederate Veteran February 1900. Text: -The scholar, gentleman, and patriot, Dr. George Baskerville Douglas, died September 7, 1899, at the advanced age of eighty three. He was born in Mecklenburg County, Va., of good Virginia stock. His grandfather, Capt. Jesse Douglas, came from Scotland to America some years before the revolutionary war, and died about 1782 from injuries received in falling from the rigging of his own ship (he being owner and captain), at Hampton Roads, Va. Dr. Douglas was educated in Virginia, at Patrick Henry Academy, in North Carolina, and then in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia. He first began the practice of medicine in Salisbury. N. C., where he met and married Mary Ellis, a sister of the Confederate "war governor" of North Carolina. One son, George Craighead Douglas, was the fruit of this union. The latter served valiantly in the Confederate war as sergeant in Kirk's Rangers, S. C. V., though a mere boy. He was captured late in the war and confined for months in a damp cell at Fortress Monroe, Va. He was never well afterwards. He married, however, and left one son, Lieut. R. Spencer Douglas, who has already done brave service at Manila in the United States Navy. Thus Dr. Douglas is the progenitor of two heroes son and grandson. The venerable Doctor lived to welcome his sailor grandson home from Manila after the perils of shot, sea, and hot climate, for which he was pathetically grateful. Dr. Douglas, having lost his wife, moved to Georgia, and married the young Mrs. Rosa Lawton Livingston, who was reared at Lawtonville, S. C. Four daughters were born to Dr. Douglas by this second wife: Mrs. T. Maryon, of Atlanta, Ga., Mrs. W. Moultrie Gourdin, Charleston, S. C., Mrs. T. W. Morrison, Waycross, Ga., and Mrs, James Hamilton Lewis, of Seattle, Washington. When Georgia seceded Dr. Douglas responded promptly to the call of his adopted State, and was commissioned assistant surgeon of the First Georgia Regulars March 20, 1861, and first served at Savannah and Fort Pulaski. When this regiment was transferred to the Confederate States service Dr. Douglas was commissioned surgeon on April 27, 1861, and reassigned to duty with that command. On July 17, 1861, his regiment was ordered to Virginia to reenforce Gens. Beauregard and Johnston. He was on duty at Camp Toombs, on Bull Run, until September, 1861, as brigade surgeon of the Sixth Brigade, Georgia Regulars, Gen. Robert Toombs commanding. Dr. Douglas remained with this brigade until April, 1862, when he was sent home on furlough. Before this expired he hastened back to Virginia and reported for duty at Richmond, and the surgeon general sent him to Danville to organize hospitals, Dr. J. L. Cabell being in charge. Large numbers of wounded soldiers from the battle of Seven Pines were sent there. He afterwards organized hospitals at Petersburg and at City Point. He was afterwards at Charleston, Macon, Augusta, and Columbus, Ga. Rapid and heavy work was necessary at Columbus, but Dr. Douglas was equal to the demands. There were about one thousand sick and wounded soldiers there from Upper Georgia, Vicksburg, and other points. Dr. Douglas continued in charge of these hospitals until the close of the war. The Federal forces under Gen. Wilson occupied Columbus on Easter Sunday, April 16, 1865. He escaped from the town the night of its fall, intending to meet the medical director at Macon, but was captured at Seven Bridges on the Flint River. The next day he was paroled. After the war he settled in Atlanta, Ga., but a destructive fire consumed his office with his fine library and much other valuable property in the building. This broke him up, and he moved to Screven County, where he practiced medicine until too feeble. Dr. Douglas was beloved by all who knew him. His many years of reading and study, with excellent conversational gifts, made it a treat to hear him.

He was ever at his post of duty except: when disabled by wounds or sickness. He had-p.286 Confederate Veteran June 1912 -a most remarkable memory, and it was his delight to talk of incidents and occurrences which came under his observation during the war.

He was deeply interested in agricultural advancement, and for many years President of the Virginia Agricultural Society. In 1861, Maj.Drewry with Capt.James P.Jones, of Chesterfield, raised and supported an artillery company, which, at his earnest request was stationed at Drewry’s Bluff. He believed that Richmond would be attacked, and the bluff would be a most impregnable point. It was converted into a fort, in the spring of 1862, after the evacuation of Norfolk, and the sinking of the Virginia, (or Merrimac), the Federal fleet moved on Richmond, and passed all forts until Drewry’s Bluff was reached. He forced the Federal fleet to turn back after a hard fought battle badly crippled their fleet. A water attack was never attempted again during the war.

The deceased needs no further eulogy than to say he was a brave Confederate soldier. His wife, who survives him, is one of the vice presidents of the Texas Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and at one son survives the noble father to prove a blessing to the bereaved mother.- Confederate Veteran:v.11, p.179-Per Cooper Family Tree:Written by Dr.O.M. Heartsill: Marshall: My heart is sad from the void caused by the death of Benjamin Franklin Eads, but as Our Father, who does all things for the best, has seen fit to promote our friend and brother, it is with a feeling of joyous pride that I pay this tribute to his memory:I would feel that I had signally failed in my duty if I spoke no word in praise of this truly large man—I use the word large advisedly. In addition to his magnificent personal physique, he had large ideas for the good of mankind at large. He possessed exceptional individuality, a large, sympathetic heart. He was an unconscious leader among men. Dr. Eads departed this life February 1, 1903, at his home in Marshall. While he had not been in perfect health for some weeks, his death came as a shock. He wrote a prescription a few hours before his death, thus he died —as he had wished—in harness. He leaves a devoted wife and a son too young to fully appreciate his great loss. Dr. Eads was of English descent, born March 9, 1833, in Caroline county, Va. He received his literary education at the common schools of his native State, and his professional education at the Universities of Pennsylvania and Virginia. He spent four years at L'Etole de Medicine, Paris, France, perfecting himself in his chosen profession which he so loved, so honored, returning to this country in time to render valuable service to his native State. He served as a surgeon throughout the war of the Confederacy. He was, at the time of his death, and had been for twenty-three years, chief surgeon of the Texas & Pacific Railway Company—the length of time he occupied this difficult and honorable position speaks for itself—is the highest praise that could be spoken, and needs no other words of commendation. It was my proud privilege to serve under him as house surgeon in the Texas & Pacific Hospital at Marshall for five years, and during those, to me, profitable years in practical surgery, there was instilled in my mind and heart a proper understanding of Dr. Eads's true worth. He was always kind and generous in his treatment to his under surgeons, and gave to them freely from the rich storehouse of his knowledge, and it was given in a simple, practical way that we could imbibe and list for future use. His very presence inspired confidence, so capable, so sincere, so sympathetic, the soul of chivalry and honor. Dr. Eads came to Marshall in 1865, and until the day of his death was actively engaged in the practice of medicine. He was one of Marshall's leading citizens. His moral life was clean, no stain had entered there to darken the horizon that was to crown his setting day. When his hour came he went without a struggle, doubtless to reap the result of a grand life well spent. He was president of the Harrison County Medical Society; he was a high Mason, having reached the pinnacle of Shriner: a member of the Walter P. Lane Camp of Confederate Veterans; and last, but by no means least, a consistent member of the Episcopal church. Though we have lost him to our profession and to mortal sight for all this mortal life, yet his great example is ours to abide with us. As a leading surgeon and a man of sterling personal merit he has, for nearly half of a century, been widely known. He always enjoyed a large and lucrative practice, and it was a coincidence that in the immense procession that witnessed the last sad rites there were many tear-stained faces whose first entrance into this world had been gently greeted by Dr. Eads. We look upon him as an honorable example—not dead, but glorified. Eakin, Spencer-Text: Born:1844-The editor of the VETERAN wrote the Nashville American on the day that Spencer Eakin died, November 28, 1907 Buried:Old City Cemetery, Shelbyville, Tenn- Please allow me space for a brief personal tribute to Spencer Eakin. I was a country boy of Bedford County, and he lived in the county town Shelbyville. On a lovely afternoon in October, 1861, we happened to meet on the Public Square and engage in conversation. He was as comely a youth as I have ever seen. He was slender, his posture erect, and his features were as fair as those of any girl. He was quiet of manner and was dressed as a civilian except that he wore the cap of a soldier. The purely accidental chat disclosed that we were to leave home the same day for the war, and although members of different companies, we were to belong to the same regiment. The 41st Tennessee Infantry was organized and sworn into the Confederate States service at Camp Trousdale, Tenn., near the Kentucky line, the next month, November 4, and although Mr. Eakin was quite young, he was soon commissioned as lieutenant of his company (F), known as the Shelbyville Rebels. * * * Lieutenant Eakin soon became noted for his excellent discretion and his deliberate courage, and ere long was placed on detached service to report directly to the commanding general of the army. One illustration is given of his services in the regiment. After the fall of Vicksburg, General Grant pressed his forces vigorously on Jackson, and in an incredibly short time they were closing up boldly on that city. The 41st Tennessee, like many other regiments, had hardly established its battle line to be fortified, without even having located picket posts, when the Union Minie balls began to play havoc upon the Confederates. In the quick emergency Lieutenant Eakin was directed to ask for fifty volunteers and advance across a plowed field and establish outposts along the south side of a plank fence in August. Across the plank fence there was tall corn with tangle that cut off all view beyond a rod or so. The writer was of those volunteers, and bears testimony to Lieutenant Eakin's conduct through that terrible ordeal. Early, Jubal Anderson, Lieut. General-Born:Nov.3,1816 Buried:Spring Hill Cemetery, Lynchburg, VA.-Tstone/Picture-(p.113 Confederate Veteran April 1894).The fall down some steps by the Lynchburg, Va., postoffice, February 16th, was the cause of Gen. Jubal A. Early's death. It was pitiable to see that the gallant old hero was so dazed by the fall as to object to leaving the carriage on arriving home, saying it was not his home. He was taken out in a wheel chair several days in succession, but he died in two weeks. Gen. Early was born in Franklin County, Virginia, November 4, 1816. His father, Jacob Early, was a farmer, his mother a Miss Hairston, who inherited a large number of slaves. While Early was a student at West Point he and Joe Hooker, who made high reputation in the battles for the the Union, had a difficulty that grew out of a debate in which Early excepted to Hooker's speech upon " the atrocities of slavery." Early was a Whig of the old school, and defeated a candidate "who advocated disruption of the Union" in the memorable convention of 1861. He was the extreme member of the convention in favor of the Union, and the last to sign the secession ordinance, and then entered upon the journal his special reasons for concurring. Gen. Early's career after the war was so identified with the Louisiana State Lottery Company that its enemies made much war upon him and Gen. Beauregard. There is a singular feature in connection with this powerful corporation which might be mentioned to their credit, now that both of them are dead and as both were such prominent Generals in the war. Much as they were abused, and anxious as were good people to defeat the legalized gambling, there was no taint of dishonesty from first to last. The VETERAN will not be misconstrued. Its editor has always been opposed to every species of gambling, but this is a creditable characteristic in the career of these two veteran officers that should not be forgotten by honest men, however much opposed to the occupation by which they made much money. Per FAG: Civil War Confederate Lieutenant General. He was a delegate to the Secession Convention of 1861 and fought to keep Virginia in the Union, but when outvoted he went to the support of his native state. He entered the Confederate Army as a Colonel in the 24th Virginia and was promoted Brigadier General in command of the 6th Brigade, 1st Corps in July 1861. As a brigade commander, he served with distinction at the Battle of Bull Run, Peninsular Campaign, Battle of Malvern Hill and Cedar Mountain. Promoted Major General in 1863, he led a Division of the 2nd Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. In 1864, after the Battle of the Wilderness, he was promoted Lieutenant General in command of operations at Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor. In the last year of the war, commanding the 3rd Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, he fought at Waynesboro and was defeated against Union General Phillip H. Sheridan at the Shenandoah Valley. After the war, Early lived in Canada a few years, he returned to Virginia in 1869, opened a law practice and remained bitter over the South's defeat until his death. (bio by: John "J-Cat" Griffith) Early, O. R., Dr.-Born:Mar.6,1824 Died: Dec. 11, 1900-Text:In the death of Dr.O.R.Early the state of Mississippi has lost one of its most elegant and courtly gentlemen of the old school. He was a son of Bishop John Early, of Virginia, and stood at the head of his profession. He was graduated with honor at one of the best medical colleges, and has held positions of honor: viz. member of the American Public Health Assoc., member of the Sanitary Council of the Mississippi Valley, executive officer of the district connection with the State Board of Health of Kentucky and Professor and Dean of Memphis Medical College. During the civil war he was chief surgeon at Richmond, Va. The contributoer of this sketch states: “I knew the deceased well, and felt honored to be numbered as one of his friends. He was the joy, life, and light of a happy home over which he presided with so much grace and elegance.” He was taken suddenly ill on the evening of Dec.7 with congestion of the lungs, and passed away on the morning of the 11th. His last moments, as his life had been, weer characterized by peace and serenity, and he fell gently asleep in Jesus. Dr.Early died in Dec.1900. Confederate Veteran:v.9, p.80 Eaves, Joseph C., Dr.-Text: Dr. J. C. Eaves was born July 17, 1836, and quietly fell asleep in the presence of his children on February 19, 1912. He read medicine under Dr. Miller at Manchester, Tenn. attended the medical lectures at Nashville in 1859, and received his diploma in 1860. He volunteered in the Confederate army at the beginning of the war in Starnes's 4th Tennessee, Forrest's Cavalry, and served till the close of the-p.287 Confederate Veteran June 1912-war. His record as a soldier was to get there first and stay till the last. After the war he located at Spencer, Tenn., and began the practice of medicine, but later moved to White County, and continued the practice of his profession until a few years ago. Kind and courteous in his disposition, his friends were legion. His life was devoted to charity, and whenever called ministered to the sick, no matter how poor. He was honored and loved by all who knew him. He was laid to rest in the cemetery near Quebeck, Tenn., where his friends gathered to pay their last tribute of love and respect. From a tribute by 0. V. Anderson, Tullahoma, Tenn.: After the war Dr. Eaves located at Spencer, Tenn., and engaged in the practice of medicine. Later he removed to White County, where he continued to practice until a few years before his death. His record as a soldier was to get there first: and stay till the last. His life's work was charity. He visited the sick regardless of their ability to pay. He was ever loyal to the cause for which he fought. Kind and courteous in his disposition, his friends were legion, to know him was to love him. He quietly fell asleep surrounded by his children. The large assemblage which gathered to pay him last tribute testified to his worth. He is survived by three daughters and their families and a son, Robert, now in business in Chattanooga. Edgar, Edward-Lieut. Commander of Camp Sutton, at Port Lavaca, Texas, died at Santa Rita, N.Mex., May 25, 1904. In all his extensive acquaintance none knew him but to love him. Comrade Edgar was educated in the New Orleans schools, but at the age of twelve went to Calhoun Co.,Texas. In 1861, he joined Co.D-6th Texas Infantery, and was sent to Arkansas Post, Ark., where he remained until its fall, when he was sent as a prisoner of war to Springfield, Illinois. Later he was exchanged at City Point, Va., and immediately resumed service in the Confederate army, sharing in the glory of that unfaltering band through many battles and vicissitudes until the surrender of Gen.Johnston at Bentonville, N.C. He was married in 1877 to Miss Annie B.O’Neil, of Port Lavaca, who, with two children, survives him. Sutton Camp, U.C.V., formed a noble squad, and with flag unfurled escorted the body of their comrade to its last resting place. Confederate Veteran:v.12,p.500 Edwards, Daniel B., Captain-Text: Daniel B. Edwards, third son of Littleton Edwards, was born April 10, 1836, in Dallas County, Ala. He died March 19, 1911, in the same county in which he was born and lived the whole of his long life of seventy five years. His boyhood and young manhood were passed in the pursuits common to sons of the planters of that period. He attended the neighborhood schools, and later completed his education at Howard College. At the age of sixteen he joined the Baptist Church, and thenceforth was a faithful member of that Church, holding its office of deacon for the last fortyfive years of his life. In 1860 he married Miss Lou E. Traylor, of Benton, Ala. In the spring of 1862 he enlisted and was chosen third lieutenant of Company A, 44th Alabama Infantry Regiment. On March 8, 1863, he was promoted to first lieutenant, and on May 16, 1864, he was commissioned captain of his company, in which capacity he served until the sad days of Appomattox. He was captured near Suffolk, Va., in 1863, but was exchanged within a month. The only Minie ball that ever touched him buried itself in a Bible which he carried into all of his battles. Once, during the early days of '65, although only a captain, he commanded the 44th for a week, all of its field officers having been killed or disabled by wounds. Captain Edwards was a brave, faithful, and typical soldier of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia "the grandest army that ever trod the face of the earth, an army that fought with more success for a longer time against greater odds than any other army that ever engaged in battle."Terrible as was the War between the States, hardly less so was the war of Reconstruction that followed. Captain Edwards, returning to his devastated home in '65, began hopefully nay, cheerfully to rebuild his shattered fortune. But the sky was soon overcast with clouds. Carpetbaggers, the scum of the human race, the refuse of the North, marshaled negro voters to the polls. The noblest men of the land charged with crimes they never committed, with manacles on their hand, were carried by negro guards before strange and infamous judges. The substance of the people was wasted in onerous taxes which were stolen by corrupt officials. The situation for eight years, twice as long as the war, was appalling, until finally it became intolerable. Then it was that Captain Edwards and about sixty more true men of Dallas County of like mind, braving the power of the Federal government, choosing if need be a Federal prison or even death for the sake of the principles for which they had risked their lives on many battle fields, rose in their might and rescued Dallas from the carpetbaggers and their negro allies. An important part in this reconstruction was performed by him. At the time of his death he was a registrar for the county, and also a member of the County Board of Education, both offices of honor rather than of profit. Besides his second wife, Mrs. Fannie A. Edwards, to whom he was married in 1882, he left a daughter, two sons, two grandsons, one sister, and one brother.In all of his family relations he was kind and devoted. He died full of years and full of honor. His great personality, his splendid intellect, his unblemished record, and his patriotic service to his country merited the honor. He was buried by members of his Camp at Old Town Cemetery in the county he had loved and served so long and so well. The immense crowd of sorrowing people, the largest ever gathered at that famous old meeting place, attested the esteem in which he was held.[From paper read by Prof. D. M. Callaway at memorial exercises by Camp Jones, of Selma, Ala., June 3, 1911 ] Vo.19,1911 Edwards, S. T.-Text:Sergeant S. T. Edwards died at his home, in Saluda, S. C., on the 10th of April, in his seventy third year. He served during the war in Company D, 19th Regiment, S. C. V., Manigault's Brigade, Army of the West, was four times wounded in the engagements around Atlanta, his leg being crushed below the knee. He was captured and his leg amputated by the Federals. An impressive sight was his casket being borne by his four brothers and four sons to his last resting place between the lines of veterans standing with uncovered heads. He was buried in the cemetery of historic old Red Bank Church, where he had for thirty two years been its Sunday school superintendent. Edwards, William Harvey, Captain-Text: Died at his home, in Lexington, Mo., on the evening of March 2, 1905, Capt. William Harvey Edwards, in the sixty ninth year of his age. He was born in Woodford County, Ky. September 20, 1838. In 1862 he joined Campbell's troop in Howard Smith's Regiment, which formed a part of Gen. John H. Morgan's command. He was with that command when it invaded Ohio, and with many others was captured and sent to Camp Douglas. There he suffered many hard ships, but managed to escape after about a year's imprisonment, taking refuge in Canada until it was safe for him to return home, his shattered health making it impossible for him to serve again as a soldier. Two years after the end of the war he moved to Missouri, and in 1868 married Miss Rebecca Henry, who, with a daughter, survives. In 1872 Capt. Edwards settled on a farm near Odessa, where he lived until he was elected treasurer of Lafayette County, in 1900, when he removed to Lexington. He was elected in 1902 for a second term. Such in briefest outline was the outer life of one of nature's noblemen, a type of the old fashioned gentleman now passing away. He bore bodily weakness and suffering with Christian fortitude, and his last days were soothed by the faith and hopes of the Christian life he had consistently lived. Capt. Edwards loyally and ardently cherished the memories of the Confederate States and its heroic soldiers. For some time he was Adjutant of the Sterling Price Camp, U. C. V. His death not only brings saddest bereavement to the inner home circle, but also leaves vacant a large space in that wider circle of friends and comrades who loved and honored him and who will continue to cherish his memory.-Vol.13, 1905 Eggleston, George Cary-Born:1839 Buried:The Evergreens Cemetery, Brooklyn, N.Y.-Tstone-Text:Vol.19,1911-George Gary Eggleston, journalist and author, died at the age of seventy one years at his home in New York. Mr. Eggleston was born in Vevay, Ind. He finished his education in Richmond College, Va., and practiced law in that State until the breaking out of the Civil War, when he enlisted in the Confederate army. After the war he went to New York and entered the newspaper business, becoming literary editor of the Evening Post, editor of Hearth and Home, editor of the Commercial Advertiser, and then editorial writer on the World. He wrote a number of books, among which are "A Rebel's Recollections," "The Signal Boys," "Wreck of the Red Bird," "Southern Soldier's Stories," "Master of Warlock," and "History of the Confederate War." Mr. Eggleston is survived by his wife and two sons, Dr. Cary Eggleston, of New York, and Dr. Horace Wardner Eggleston, of Binghamton, N. Y. –Per FAG: Author, Historian. An editor and writer, he is known for providing the inspiration for his brother Edward's 1874 best-seller "The Hoosier Schoolmaster". He served as an officer in the Confederate army during the Civil War, and witnessed the surrender at Appomattox. He wrote the works "A Rebel's Recollection" in 1875, one of the best-known memoirs from the Southern perspective on the War Between the States. (bio by: Joe Fodor) Eiffert, John Henry-The oldest Confederate veteran known has joined the silent majority. John Henry Eiffert, of whom a sketch was given in the VETERAN for May, 1915, as a veteran of the Confederacy who had passed the century mark', died on October 20, 1915, at Webber's Falls, Okla., at the age of one hundred and one years and twenty days. Mr. Eiffert was born in Lexington, S. C, October 1, 1814, and went to East Tennessee in 1830. There in 1848 he married the widow of Dr. R. T. Hanks, who was Margaret Ann Ward Morgan. When the war came on, he joined the second company raised in his town, which was under command of his son-in-law, Capt. Wellington W. McClelland, and served during the entire war. After the war he went with his family to the Cherokee Nation (now Oklahoma) and settled at Webber's Falls, where he lived to the time of his death, loved and respected by all who knew him. Even when near his hundredth year he was as active as many men in the eighties and read a great deal, taking great interest in what was going on in the outside world. Confederate Veteran:v.24, p.174 to 178 Elam, Thomas Gordon, Captain, Died:1915, seventy-one years old, a prominent citizen and Confederate veteran, died at the home of his daughter in Salem, Va., after a brief illness. Captain Elam, who was one of the best-known and bestloved veterans of Roanoke, was born in Campbell County, Va., November 8, 1844. In 1861, at the age of sixteen, he enlisted in the Clarksville Blues, Company E, 14th Virginia Regiment, and served four years, part of which time he was attached to Gen. Fitzhugh Lee's staff as field telegrapher. He learned the use of the telegraph while stationed at Drewry's Bluff. At the end of the war he held the rank of captain. His home was in Suffolk for several years after the war, and there he was married to Miss Emily S. Arnold in 1870. For twenty years he was editor and owner of the Suffolk Herald and later editor of the Danville Register. He then went into the insurance business, in which he continued until his death. He had lived in Roanoke for eleven years. Captain Elam was known wherever Confederate veterans congregate and was serving his second term as Commander of William Watts Camp, Confederate Veterans, of Roanoke. He was also First Lieutenant Grand Commander of the Virginia Confederate Veterans. His kindly greetings will be missed by his comrades at the Confederate reunions, which he so enjoyed. Captain Elam is survived by his wife and three children, two daughters and a son. Veterans of the Hupp-Deyerle and William Watts Camps, Confederate Veterans, of Salem and Roanoke, were the honorary pallbearers at his funeral; while the active pallbearers were from the Albert Sidney Johnston Camp of Sons of Veterans. Confederate Veteran:v.24, p.174 to 178 Elcan, Archibald Liebig, Dr., a former prominent practicing physician of Memphis and who was also well known throughout West Tennessee, died at his home, in Los Angeles, Cal., in February, 1916. He went to California about ten years ago on account of the poor health of himself and a daughter, leaving one of the foremost practices in Memphis. Dr. Elcan was born October 20, 1844, in Fayette County, near Belmont, now known as Mason. He joined the Confederate army in 1862 before he was eighteen years of age, serving first with Capt. Sam T. Taylor's company and later with Major General Loring in a secretarial and aid-de-camp capacity until February 24, 1864, when he joined Company B, 7th Tennessee Cavalry, of Forrest's command. He was wounded while charging beside General Forrest at Prairie Mound, Miss., where Forrest led on foot, his horse having been shot from under him. He was again wounded in the retreat from Nashville near Richland Creek. At the close of the war he was first sergeant in Company B. Dr. Elcan was an honorary member of Company A, the crack Confederate company of Memphis. After the war Dr. Elcan read medicine, took a full college course, and practiced medicine in Tipton County. He also served as a member of the legislature and as a justice of the peace in that county. He was well known as a writer for several leading medical journals and as a contributor to the daily and weekly press of this section. He moved to Memphis in 1888 and devoted himself exclusively to his practice. He was married on November 4, 1869, to Miss Bettie Taylor, daughter of Dr. Joshua Swayne, of Carroll County, Tenn.

Daughter of Johnston Eaton Bright & Sarah Bell Slack Eleazer, Stephen Gibson- Text: Stephen Gibson Eleazer at his home, in Burns, Dickson County, Tenn., on June 6, 1908, was honorably discharged from life's long warfare. In his death there passed away a good citizen, a faithful soldier, a true friend, a noble man. It was my privilege to know him intimately from the days when we were schoolboys to the day of his death. For three years we messed together during the Civil War. I saw him under all circumstances, and I never knew him to do a little or a mean act. Brave, generous, kind, full of humor, he won the warmest affection of his comrades. Sincere, plain spoken, open in all his dealings, he was always ready to do a kindness if it involved no dishonor. He was born September 25, 1833, and he received a good English education at Tracy Academy, in Charlotte, Tenn. In 1858 he was married to Miss Susan O. Woodward. Their union was blessed with eight children, five sons and three daughters. Three sons and two daughters survive him. When the war came on, in 1861, he was comfortably settled on his farm, but he felt it his duty to give his service to his country. So he enlisted in Company B, 49th Tennesseee Infantry, He was captured in the battle of Fort Donelson. In September, 1862, the regiment was exchanged and reorganized, and he was made commissary sergeant. He was with the regiment in all of its subsequent service until the end. In the campaign around Vicksburg in 1863, in North Georgia in 1864, in the rear guard of the army after the disaster at Nashville, and in the last campaign in North Carolina he did his duty until the final surrender. Then he came home to retrieve his fortunes, and by his industry and thrift he achieved a comfortable competence. He was as good a citizen as he had been a soldier. He never connected himself with any Church, but in his last illness, which was protracted, I went to see him, and found that he had given the subject of religion long and serious thought, and he expressed to me his confident hope of eternal life through the merits of Jesus Christ. His funeral was held at his old home, near Burns, and he was buried beside his wife in the family graveyard.

His first active duty with his company was to guard the Portsmouth Navy Yard while the Virginia was being constructed out of the wreck of the Merrimac. This was a most important mission, for spies and incendiaries were at hand ready for the opportunity to destroy the monster of war, having in view the large reward from the Federal government, but the vigilance of Major Etheredge kept them from her decks, and five attempts to burn the navy yard were frustrated during his service on this mission. He fought with his company and regiment in the Army of Northern Virginia in all its great battles from the Peninsula to Appomattox, where he surrendered. Everywhere he was a true and brave officer. He was highly complimented for gallantry at Seven Pines by Col. John R. Chambliss, and his courage was conspicuous in the bloody charge of the Crater. When the war closed, he returned to his native county and gave his unfaltering energies to rebuilding his home. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a citizen of noble purpose, and a Christian of humble heart. He was stricken with paralysis and lingered long from its stroke, bearing his pains with fortitude and praying unceasingly for God's care. His. life passed out as a breath of wind in the June morning. AA-Evans, B. E.-Text:Vol.17,1909-B. E. Evans, of Acorn, Ark., hopes through the VETERAN to hear from some comrade who can help him make proof to get a pension. He volunteered at Sumter, S. C., in the Palmetto Regiment. While stationed at Charleston he was detailed to work on the construction of a bridge across Ashley River under Civil Engineer Henry Haines. Later he was sent to work at the Pee Dee Navy Yard. When orders came to vacate that place, he got a furlough to go home, the first he had during the war. Before that was out Lee surrendered, and he did not get a discharge. That furlough was secured by Lieutenant Means. notonfag Everett, George W.-Text: George W. Everett, who died very suddenly at his home, in Lumpkin, Ga., October 5, 1907, was born in Washington County, Fla" February 26, 1832. His parents removed to Stewart County, Ga., when he was a boy, but he was living in Louisiana when the war broke out, so he entered the army from there, joining Company K, of the 31st Louisiana Regiment. He was a faithful and courageous soldier, and was an active and faithful member of Clement A. Evans Camp, U. C. V. As a Christian who loved his Christianity, as a citizen who stood for true citizenship, as a husband considerate and true, a father loving and kind, his life was as full of good, useful deeds as it was of honorable years. Fannin, James H., Colonel-Text: Col. James Fannin was born in LaGrange, Ga., in September, 1835, and died of heart disease in Savannah October 23, 1909. Colonel Fannin's life was a remarkable one, marked by the high lights of success and the deep shadows of sorrow. As a soldier he was daring, yet quick sighted. He enlisted in the Confederate army at the beginning of the war, and his first service was at Skiddaway Island, near Savannah, and he was engaged in the defense at the first attack upon the city. He was in command of the 1st Georgia Reserves, which were assigned to the post at Andersonville, where he was in close relation with Maj. Henry Wirz, whose fate as a Southern martyr is well known. The prison at Andersonville was not under Colonel Fannin's command, but a personal friendship with Major Wirz brought the two in such close touch that he was well acquainted with affairs at the prison, and he was the principal witness in his defense when Wirz was tried for his life by the Federal courts, While in Andersonville Colonel Fannin was instrumental in saving the life of Father Whelan, of Macon, Ga., and several years afterwards the pope sent his thanks to Colonel Fannin for the assistance rendered the Father, the messenger being Bishop Verot, of Savannah. Colonel Fannin gave a dramatic account of the last battle of the Civil War, which occurred at West Point, Ga., April 16, 1865. Vol.18,1910 Faris, Alexander Allen, Dr. Text: Dr. Paris died at his home, in Hickman, Ky., May 12, 1905. Early in the spring of 1861 he joined the 5th Tennessee Infantry. At Perryville, in the forefront of battle and on the hottest part of the fighting line, he lost his right arm and was captured by the enemy. He was a prisoner for nearly a year, when he was exchanged, and by reason of the loss of his right arm was honorably discharged from the serv ice. But this did not suit the restless, patriotic spirit of the one armed Confederate soldier, so he reported to Gen. Frank Cheatham for duty, who made him one of his special couriers, and with the exception of Missionary Ridge, when he was off on special duty, he was with his command in every engagement in which it participated from that time to the close of the war. Returning home after the surrender and choosing medicine as his profession, he graduated at the Nashville (Tenn) Medical College in 1868, took a postgraduate course at Tulane Medical College, New Orleans, in 1869, graduated from the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York, in 1871, and, taking a special course at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1876, he finally returned to New York, where he remained nearly a year attending clinics at the various leading medical institutions of that city. From 1872 he was a member of the American Medical Association. In 1878, when his home town was sorely afflicted by the yellow fever, he remained faithfully with his people through out the epidemic. He alone of the five resident physicians lived through it, and four other volunteer physicians died by his side, but by day and night he was at his post, ministering to the sick and dying until the scourge had passed. Featherston, Charles Henry, Rev.-R.D.Campbell, in Texas Baptist Standard: Rev.C.H.Featherston, born in Muscogee Co.,Georgia in Jul.15,1828, lived his boyhood in Mississippi, and at the age of 28 became a Texan. He entered the ministry of the Methodist church about that time. He entered the Confederate service, was elected Lieutenant of his company, and was soon promoted to Captain. He preached also, but ill health forced him to leave the army before the war ended, when he devoted his time to the care of non-combatants. Mr.Featherson joined the Baptist Church afterward. From Coleman, Texas, he removed to the Indian Territory, where he died Dec.17,1894. He left nine children, and twenty seven grandchildren.

Barron, of Rusk, Tex. appeared in the VETERAN for November, 1909, in which it is stated that he was mustered into service in June, 1861, and "was a valiant soldier to the end, ever loved and trusted by his officers and comrades for his bravery and his patriotism. He was in all the battles of his regiment, from Wilson's Creek, in Missouri, August 10, 1861, to the last fight on Hood's retreat, except while disabled by wounds." As a citizen after the war, he was one of the best in his section of Texas. Four sons and four daughters survive him.

He entered the Confederate army in 1861, only a few months after his marriage, as a member of the 5th Ala.Cavalry under Gen.Joe Wheeler, and from the rank of sergeant rose to the command of the Regiment, though he declined to accept the rank of colonel. He was captured at Duck River, Tenn., and confined at Johnson’s Island a year, where his health was so undermined that he never regained it. After being released he rededicated his best services to the Confederacy and remained fighting until the peace at Appomattox.

On Feb.13,1917, they celebrated their golden wedding, when many friends expressed appreciation of their length of days. Comrade Ferrell was in feeble health, but there was no painful illness in his last earthly days. He passed away in the early morning of Sep.3,1917, leaving his devoted wife and daughter, with a host of friends and relatives to mourn his loss. He loved the Confederate flag, and the small bronze cross as he did his life, and it was fitting that his comrades should be near when he was laid to rest; so the veterans of Pat Cleburne Camp, U.C.V., attended as honorary pallbearers.

He was a son of Capt.John Field, of Kentucky, a Mexican War veteran, who commanded a company and won distinction with the Kentucky Regiment on the field of Buena Vista. In 1852 Capt.Field moved to Victoria, Texas. When the war between the States began, his son, Comrade A.G.Field, enlisted in Co.C-4th Texas Regiment, and went with Gen.Sibley in his unfortunate expedition to New Mexico. He was wounded and captured at Valverde. After his release he rejoined his command, and served with it in Arkansas and Louisiana until the close of the war. As a soldier, he only asked where his duty lay, and he would perform it without counting the cost. He was a bright, sunny, joyous temperament, and as gallant a soldier as served the Confederacy. In 1880 he married Miss Mary Ellen Powers. The surviving children of this marriage are now living in the midst of the friends whom their father spent his life, honored and respected by all who knew him. He was a member of the W.R.Scurry Camp, U.C.V. of Victoria, Texas.Confederate Veteran:v.13, p.i and ii Finley, John Randolph-Text:John R.

He had studied medicine under Dr.Stone at New Orleans, and soon after entering the army was appointed assistant surgeon of the regiment. He was late promoted to surgeon of Ector’s Brigade, and when the war closed he was surgeon of French’s Division. After the war, he returned to his home and engaged in the practice of medicine, with great success. Also a good citizen, and was an influential member of the 25th Legislature of Texas.-Confederate Veteran:v.11, p.420 Fontaine, Peter, Major-Died:1908 Buried:Spring Hill Cemetery, Charleston, W.Va.-Tstone-Text: The Bar Association of Charleston, W. Va., took action with respect to the death of Maj. Peter Fontaine, one of its members. President J. M. Payne appointed a committee to submit resolutions, which were adopted by the meeting. Maj. Peter Fontaine was a member of that association from its organization, and had been a member of the bar since 1873. He was born in Hanover County, Va., in 1840. He was a son of James Fontaine, of that county. After taking a course of study at the University of Virginia, he, upon the breaking out of the War between the States in 1861, promptly volunteered in the Hanover Troop, C. S. A., and by his merit, good judgment, sagacity, and courage he rose from the ranks to be a major, and served upon the staff of General Wickham and then the staff of General Rosser until the end of the war. He was severely wounded in the battle of Kelley's Ford. Soon after the war Major Fontaine went to Charleston and taught school for a time. Then returning to his Alma Mater, the University of Virginia, he took a course in law, and commenced the practice of his profession about 1873. For many years he was a commissioner in chancery of the circuit court of the county, also of the United States court sitting in Charleston. Major Fontaine was zealous in the formation of the Bar Association of Charleston, taking an active part in its organization, and was its first secretary. Much is due to his good judgment and industry in starting this association on its career of usefulness to the profession and Charleston. He was beloved and useful as a member of the Kanawha bar and a most worthy, scholarly, and learned citizen. The association tendered its earnest sympathy to his family in their great bereavement. [From data by Thomas L. Broun, of Charleston, W. Va.] Forrest, Car, Capt.-Text:Vol.17,1909-Buried:Forreston Cemetery, Ellis Co., Texas-Tstone-The death of Capt. Car Forrest at Waxahachie, Tex., on May 5, 1909, has removed one of Ellis County's most highly respected pioneer citizens. He was born in Marshall County, Tenn., Sep.9,1826, and removed to Texas in 1855, settling in Ellis County, near where is now the town of Forreston. The first court ever held in Ellis County was under a pecan tree on his farm, Judge John H. Reagan presiding. In 1861 he assisted in organizing Company C, of the 19th Texas Cavalry, enlisting as a private, but was soon advanced to the command. His company saw service in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missouri. He was with Marmaduke in his raid through Missouri, where for six weeks the saddles were never taken from the horses, and he was also in the Red River raid after General Banks. Returning to Texas, the regiment was disbanded and all returned home. After the war Captain Forrest turned his attention to agriculture and invested largely in real estate. His wife was Miss Virginia Sims, whose father was also a Texas pioneer. A son and a daughter of their five children survive him. Captain Forrest had a most attractive personality, and in his death the State has lost a noble citizen. He was a cousin of Gen. Nathan Bedrord Forrest. Fort, Tomlinson, Colonel-Text: The name of Col. Tomlinson Fort, of Chattanooga, in the Last Roll will sadden many people, for he was well known beyond the area of the local press, which contained an elaborate account of his career at the time of his death, December 14, 1910. The Chattanooga Times had more than a column editorial in regard to him. It stated: The sudden death of Col. Tomlinson Fort was a profound shock to the community and occasioned widespread sorrow throughout the city. He had been engaged actively in his business and in attending to the duties he had imposed upon himself for the welfare of the public with his wonted spirit and energy up to the moment of his death. The news spread in an inconceivably short time to all parts of the city, and before the body had been taken to his home the entire city was mourning the loss of a genuine friend and a foremost citizen. Colonel Fort came to this city from Georgia shortly after the Civil War, having fought with distinguished courage on the side of the South. He identified himself at once with the life and fortunes of the then struggling village, strong even at that day in his faith that it would ultimately become a great and prosperous city. He was a man of peculiarly methodical business habits, careful and painstaking to the minutest details. He acquired a profitable legal practice, especially in the care of estates and the management of intricate cases in equity. He was conservative and safe in all his business transactions. Connected as he was in various ways, public and' private, with Chattanooga for the past forty five years, the story of his life furnishes many side lights of the city he loved and to whose interest he was genuinely devoted. Colonel Fort was a man of peculiar individuality, following his own well considered ways and counsels at all times. He had strong convictions upon all subjects, and never hesitated to express them with open frankness, as if indifferent to consequences. So far was this true that he had become in the community a privileged character, at liberty to say what he pleased, all the time retaining the respect and esteem of those who differed with him most violently. He earned this right because of his lack of bitterness, the honesty of his opinion, and the purity of his purpose. He was amost useful citizen, counseling caution, and at all times fighting extravagance in public legislation and graft and corrupt practices. He employed no arts in carrying out his plans, but was always the 'plain, blunt man,' honest and faithful to his own conscientious scruples. He was particularly devoted to children, and at the time of his death he was planning to give pleasure to many a childish heart, and probably the last public act he performed was to attend a meeting of the trustees of the Associated Charities, of which he was a member and in which work he was profoundly interested. His sympathies and his means went generously to the worthy poor and needy, as every institution for charity and philanthropy in Chattanooga will fully –(p.133 Confederate Veteran March 1911)- attest. He gave liberally to the cause of religion, recognizing the tremendous upbuilding force of religious organizations. His charities were well distributed and unostentatiously bestowed. He held several offices in the city government. He was Mayor in the seventies. Later as a member of the school board during the early days he loaned his personal credit to keep the schools going, and thereby helped to create a peculiarly strong and wholesome public sentiment in behalf of Chattanooga schools. As a member of the Board of Public Works he accomplished much that was good in perfecting a system of honest labor and rigid accounting, One of Colonel Fort's most admirable traits was his devotion to the old Confederate soldier and his reverence for the cause for which he fought. He was a loyal American citizen, but he would never admit that what he and his comrades fought for was wrong. He was one of the main supporters of the N. B. Forrest Camp of Chattanooga, and his purse, his time, and his best effort were ever directed to sustaining the institution and aiding indigent old soldiers who were in need of bounty. That beautiful part of his character gives him a tender place in the heart of every old soldier of either army and places his name high in the roster of those who loved their fellow men and believed in undying principles. He was an admirer of the brave Federal soldier, and among his last speeches was one delivered at a meeting of the G. A. R. in Indiana, in which there breathed the spirit of independence, of self respecting regard for his own record and opinions, but of conciliation and esteem for those against whom he had fought. Colonel Fort was averse to having his picture made. The first in this paper is from an old photograph made in 1876. The group is from her "Confederate picture" in a family history by their sister. Miss Fort. These brothers were in the Confederate service: Lieut. John Fort, of the 1st Georgia Regulars, Col. Tomlinson Fort, of the same regiment, and Dr. George Fort, surgeon of the 28th Georgia Regiment. Colonel Fort was born April 26, 1839, a son of Dr. Tomlinson and Martha Low Fort. Dr. Fort was an eminent physician, and copies of his "Family Doctor," a volume of much benefit in early settlement days, is still treasured in cases of sickness. Dr. Fort served in the Legislature of Georgia for several terms and in Congress from 1828 to 1830. As President of the Central Bank of Georgia he financed largely the building of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. The mother of Colonel Fort was a woman of many extraordinary qualities. The Editor of the VETERAN treasures the memory of a visit at her home, in Macon, Ga., on her eighty second birthday. On those anniversaries her children had been lavish with their gifts, but she had been exacting for that day in, asking them to give her only such things as she could give to the poor. Away back in 1838 Dr. Fort, realizing that Chattanooga would be the eastern terminus of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, bought much land in that vicinity. Colonel Fort located there soon after the war, and for forty five years he was active and unstinted in the development of the place. The writer bought the Chattanooga Times in 1876, and during the several years that he owned and edited that paper Colonel Fort was the most prolific "booster" in the city. This was in an eminently practical way. He was more prolific of news than a group of reporters on the many, many evenings that he called at the Times office. Colonel Fort was at a law school when the war began, but, he left school at once to go with the 1st Georgia Regulars. He was severely wounded at Malvern Hill and again at Second Manassas. He had been promoted to captain, and late in the war was frequently in command of his regiment. The funeral of Colonel Fort was an event of extraordinary public interest. The service was conducted by Rev. J. W. Bachman at the family residence, a simple tribute to the many excellent characteristics of the man. The remains were sent to Milledgeyille, the old capital of Georgia and the childhood home of Dr. Fort's children. The procession from the residence to the railway station was conducted under the chief of police as marshal. The procession was headed by the police department ahead of the hearse. Next in line were the Confederates, then the Masons, and these organizations were followed by the fire department and carriages. Colonel Fort never wore his Confederate uniform on public occasions, and the veterans wore civilian clothes, retaining merely their badges. The ten active and twenty eight honorary pallbearers composed the leading and most eminent men of the city. The surviving members of Colonel Fort's family are three sisters (Miss Kate Fort and Mrs. Frances F. Brown, of Chattanooga, and Mrs. Sarah F, Milton, of Knoxville) and one brother (Col. John P. Fort, of Mt. Airy, N.C.). A nephew, George F, Milton, is a leading newspaper editor and proprietor in Chattanooga and Knoxville. Foute, Augustus M., Colonel- Confederate Veteran 1894-THE death of Col. Augustus M. Foute, which occurred at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore recently, on Oct.24,1894, is. announced. Col. Foute had been residing at the Maryland Line Confederate Soldiers' Home at Pikeville for some time. He left the Home to go to the Johns Hopkins. Hospital, where in a day or two he died of heart trouble. It is said that no one has entered the Home as a member who won more rapidly the esteem of his brothers in the cause. In his long career as lawyer, banker, and soldier, Col. Foute was widely known in the South. He was born in Tennessee, was educated at Yale College, and practiced law with his father at Jackson, Miss., many years. Two of his brothers served as members of the judiciary in different Southern States. At the outbreak of the Civil War Col. Foute was President of the Gayoso Savings Bank, Memphis, Tenn. He joined the Confederate army and became colonel on the staff of Gen. Pemberton, After the war Col. Foute engaged in the banking business for ten years with Gen. Loring in New York. Gen. Loring afterwards joined the army of the Khedive of Egypt, and Col. Foute came to Baltimore, where he had been married to Miss Baltzell, who survives him. Col. Foute had not engaged in active business for some time. He held a position in the Building Inspector's department under Mayor Hodge's administration.

They were mustered into the Twenty Fifth North Carolina Regiment as Company D at Asheville, N. C., Col. Clingman commanding. Early in 1862 Capt. Francis was promoted by election to major. In 1863 he was severely wounded at Malvern Hill. Va. Upon partial recovery, after two years' service, he was elected as a legislator from Cherokee County, N. C., where the close of the war found him.

He received a rudimentary education in Nashville, which was only a foundation for the daily study and self culture that made him one of the best informed men of his time. He began his career as a printer, and even in his old age loved to go to a case and show his skill in handling type. While very young, hardly out of his boyhood days, he went to Springfield, then a village, and was made its first Mayor, again being honored by reelection. He held many positions of public trust, being a member of the Constitutional Convention, a member of the Confederate Legislature of 1861 62, and was several times commissioned to the Supreme Bench.

He was painstaking and energetic, which, with a brilliant mind and remarkable memory, eminently fitted him for his chosen profession. "His quick perception cut like a sword the Gordian knot of legal entanglement," and his influence with a jury won him a wide reputation. As a private citizen he was public spirited and a leader. He aided in every effort for advancement. He was a type of the Old South and graciously polite. By his integrity of character he won the confidence and loyalty of all who came in contact with him.

Cowan, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, of which be was a member, assisted by Rev. L. T. Ward, who was intimately associated with him in the banking business.

He was laid to rest at Magnolia Cemetery, near his lovely suburban home. He left a wife, three daughters, and two sons to mourn their loss.

He was a great believer in prayer, never failing to invoke divine blessings upon himself and men.

In a memorial address, the following named committeemen, K. M. Van Zandt, R. M. Wynne, B. B. Paddock, R. E. Beckham, and Duke Goodman, say: We, your committee appointed to prepare a fitting expression in memoriam of our departed comrade, S. P. Greene, ex Commander of this camp, and Adjutant General upon the staff of Maj. Gen. K. M. Van Zandt, Commander of the Texas Division, U. C. V., report that Whereas Comrade S. P. Greene, born Williamsburg Co. S.Carolina, distinguished member of this association, died on the 9th day of June, 1904, at Ft.Worth, Texas, we, his comrades and members of this association, deem it fit to have spread upon the records of this association, over which he presided with ability and honor, this tribute to his memory. Judge Greene joined the army of the Confederate States as a soldier when yet but a boy from the State of Georgia, and by his soldierly conduct and manly deportment won rapid distinction, as evidenced by his frequent promotion. As a man, he as gentle, generous, noble, living in strict conformity to the golden rule. As a lawyer, he was a safe, conscientious counselor, faithful to his trusts and vigilant and zealous in the interest of his clients, yet always courteous to his adversaries. As a judge, he was capable, just, and upright. His integrity was unquestioned. As a citizen, he was loyal to his State and country. As a Christian, he was steadfast in his faith and zealous in his efforts to promote the cause of his Master. As a husband, he was loving and tender. As a brother, he was self sacrificing, unselfish, and devoted. Viewed as a lawyer, jurist, soldier, citizen, husband, brother, friend, his life was useful, beautiful, and blameless." In'' his memorial address, Judge R. E. Beckham, of Fort Worth, Tex., paid pathetic tribute to his friend of many years. They were fellow Georgia Confederates, fellow lawyers, and their aspirations and sentiments had been very similar. He said: "I think of him as the youth who in the very beginning of our struggle responded promptly to the call of his State, and, with knapsack and gun, entered the ranks as a private soldier. I think of him in his young manhood as the head of a company of gallant Georgians, having by faithful and efficient service merited promotion. I think of him returning, at the close, to his State and home, desolated by the merciless hordes of Sherman, to engage in peaceful pursuits, but again forced, in defense of home, to resist the infamous methods of reconstruction. I remember him as a young lawyer, having the care of an orphaned family, bravely struggling to establish himself in a new home in Texas. I remember when, after years of varying success, he visited his old home and returned with a fair but fragile companion, to whom his after years were one continuous period of devotion. For more than thirty years he was my friend, and during that time I never heard him utter an expression which might not with propriety have been spoken in the most refined society. In his career as a lawyer he was a safe counselor, a courteous adversary, and an upright judge. He was an exemplary citizen, a devout Christian, a fond husband, a kind neighbor. As a member of our beloved organization he was ever zealous, and in his death our Camp and the Texas Division at large have suffered a great loss. A beautiful life is ended, but its beneficent influence will survive to gladden generations."

He was with that command in the last engagement near Appomattox C. H. He did not surrender there, but with his battery, of which he was sergeant, he went to Lynchburg, where the battery was disbanded and he was later paroled.

His father, Michael Berry Griffith, was the son of Capt. Henry Griffith, who served in the revolutionary army and a lineal descendant of the historical Lewellen A. Griffith, of Wales. Owing to a series of business reverses, Mr. Griffith moved from Maryland to Missouri, and later to San Augustine, Tex. Those were the young days of Texas history, and the hardships and privations of pioneer life were endured to the full. Gen. Griffith's education was necessarily received chiefly at home under the tutorship of his mother. He was endowed with a brilliant and comprehensive intellect, and was noted for his qualities of mind and heart. He was married at Nacogdoches, in December, 1851, to Sarah Emily Simpson, daughter of John J. and Jane Simpson, and in 1859 moved to Kaufman County, Tex. In 1861, when the War between the States was upon us, he was among the first to answer the call of his country, and organized a company of cavalry at Rockville, Tex., joined Col. Warren B. Stone's Regiment, Sixth Texas Cavalry, and was elected lieutenant colonel, which position he held with honor and distinction. In paying tribute to him, a comrade says: " Gen. Griffith was more than a dashing cavalryman, his analytical mind penetrated beyond the immediate shock of battle and took in the salient features of the campaign as a whole. It was he who conceived that master stroke of policy, and was the most efficient agent of its execution, the Holly Springs raid. He saved the army of Pemberton in dubitably by the movement and delayed the fall of Vicksburg many months. On the field of Oakland he performed for the same army duties of scarcely less vital moment."Owing to failing health, Gen. Griffith tendered his resignation and returned to Texas in June, 1863. Shortly afterwards he was elected a member of the tenth Legislature, and served as chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs. He was appointed brigadier general of State troops on March l, 1864. After the war, though broken in health, with indomitable will, energy, and pluck he entered the race of life again, and by energy and ability recuperated his lost fortune, In 1876 he was elected a member of the Fifteenth Legislature, and aided in placing the new State Constitution in operation. In 1874 Gen. Griffith removed with his family to Terrell, Tex. He died at his home, in Terrell, August 6, 1901, surrounded by his family and friends. He died as he had lived, a brave and a great man, with a courage and trust unexcelled. Per FAG-Buried:Oakland Memorial Park, Terrell, Texas.

He was taken to Governor's Island, where he was kept until the end of the war. For the past several years he practiced his profession in Elizabeth City, N. C., where he was loved by all who knew him. Grimes, Ab C., Captain-Text: Capt. Ab C. Grimes, a noted Confederate mail carrier and pioneer river pilot, died at his home, in St. Louis in March, 1911, aged seventy six years. He was a fellow soldier and an intimate friend of Mark Twain, and was one of the most romantic characters in Missouri's history. He had the unique distinction of having been captured by Union soldiers on six occasions, and of having escaped by hazardous means five times. When captured the sixth time, he was put under strong guard in the old Gratiot Street jail, and was sentenced to be hanged, but through the intercession of the late Archbishop Ryan, he escaped the gallows. Captain Grimes's father was a pilot on one of the first boats that plied the Mississippi, and the son followed his father and gave thirty years to the service, distinguishing himself on many occasions. When the war began, he left the river and joined a company at New London, Mo., under Capt. Theodore Brace. Gen. Sterling Price selected Captain Grimes to act as mail carrier, and he rendered valuable service in smuggling mail between the lines, in which he was assisted by many women who were Southern sympathizers. After the war, he returned to his work on the river. After his retirement, he was manager of a shooting club at King's Lake, in Lincoln County, for some years. His first wife, who was Miss Lucy Glasscock, died in 1903, and in 1905 he was married to Miss Nell Tauke, who, with two of the seven children born of the first marriage, survives him.-p.390 Confederate Veteran August 1911 AA-Gurley, Frank Ballou, Captain-Text:In the death of Capt. Frank Ballou Gurley the Confederate Veteran Association has lost a loyal and patriotic member, than whom the Confederacy had no braver nor truer soldier. At the very incipiency of the war, when in his young manhood, he enlisted as a private in the company commanded by the renowned fighting preacher, Rev. D. C. Kelley, who afterwards became General Forrest's confidential and able assistant. This company went to Memphis, where it was mustered into service and assigned to the battalion of which General Forrest was then lieutenant colonel. During Private Gurley's service with Forrest's Battalion he participated in many spirited skirmishes and was personally known by the great wizard, for he never failed to perfectly satisfy the exactions of that great leader, for even then Private Gurley possessed attributes worthy of all praise. Soon after the battle of Fort Donelson Gurley was ordered home to recruit a company, which he did of one hundred and fifteen of as gallant soldiers as ever fought for a glorious cause. He was elected captain of this company, which was assigned to the 4th Alabama Cavalry, Col. A. A. Russell, and became Company C thereof. Captain Gurley commanded his company with his regiment on General Forrest's first expedition into West Tennessee in December, 1862.Late in_the afternoon of December 17, 1862, General Forrest, then near Lexington, West Tenn., knowing that on the morrow he would engage the enemy, called for Captain Gurley and gave him specific instructions, with orders to take the advance with four companies of his regiment early the following morning. Some eight miles east of Lexington he€clashed with the 3d Battalion of the Sth Ohio Cavalry, commanded by Capt. J. C. Harrison, which Captain Gurley promptly defeated, and in a running fight from there to Lexington he made many captures. At Lexington General Forrest speedily came up with the balance of his command and with an eye and judgment equal to any emergency assigned Captain Gurley, with the four companies under his command, to a position on the left of the Confederate line. In the fight which followed Captain Gurley in person captured the great Robert G. Ingersoll, then colonel of the 11th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry and in command of the expedition sent forth with instructions to whip and capture General Forrest, who was known to have crossed into West Tennessee. Captain Gurley also captured all of Colonel Ingersoll's artillery, consisting of two three-inch steel Rodman guns of Kidd's 14th Indiana Battery, commanded by the gallant Lieut. John W. H. McGuire. These guns formed the nucleus for the famous Morton's Battery, used thenceforth and effectively by General Forrest until the end in May, 1865. In the summer of 1863 Captain Gurley, in command of an expedition, encountered the Federals near Huntsville, Ala., commanded by Brig. Gen. Robert L. McCook, who was killed in the spirited skirmish which followed. That skirmish almost proved fatal to Captain Gurley, for later he was captured and identified as the man who killed General McCook and by suborned evidence was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. He was sent North for safe-keeping, was threatened by mobs at several places, and was subjected to great exposure and all kinds of brutal treatment. At one place the leader of the mob threatened dire punishment to all the prisoners in the party if Captain Gurley was not pointed out to them. Thus it was that death looked him in the eye, but found no blinking. In the meantime General Forrest in his blunt and positive way notified the Federal authorities that if Captain Gurley was executed he would exact a heavy toll therefor. Finally the Federals decided that General McCook's death was only one of the fortunes of war, and Captain Gurley in February, 1865, was sent to Acres Landing, on the James River, twenty miles below Richmond, and exchanged. Captain Gurley was born in Maury County, Tenn., August 8, 1834, and passed to his great reward at Gurley, Ala., March 29, 1920.

He saw service with Gen. John H. Morgan and rode with that gallant soldier wherever duty called. He was in the engagements which made Morgan's command famous. At Hartsfield and on the Christmas raid in 1862 and in all the engagements in Middle Tennessee during the spring and summer of that year he acquitted himself as a brave and gallant soldier. He was captured on the Highway and remained in prison until near the close of the war, when he was exchanged. He married Miss Drake and moved to Missouri, and at the time of his death he was engaged in the grocery business at Lee's Summit. He is survived by his wife and two children.

In the battle of Chickamauga he was wounded, but rejoined his command as soon as he was able for service. An incident in his war experience merits mention here. On the tenth day of August, 1861, while scouting, he was captured at Oak Hill, Mo., and sent to prison at Indianapolis, Ind. After his arrival at Camp Morton he was court martialed on the charge of being a spy, and sentence to be shot. The morning before the execution was to take place a young lady who knew the circumstances and was a strong sympathizer with the Southern cause secured permission to visit the prisoners, and conveyed to Comrad Haney a rope and arranged a plan of escape. The night was a propitious one, being dark and stormy. Soon after nighfall, securely tying his rope to a ring in the floor, he crawled out through the window and slipped down to the ground. Managing to elude observation, he made his way to a house near by, where his young lady friend awaited him. He then was served a substantial supper by the heroine. His Confederate gray was discared for the Federal uniform with new boots and hat, and he was given directions for his escape to the south, finally reaching St.Louis, where he made his way to Confederate lines, and rejoined Gen.Van Dorn’s staff. In Oct.1863, he was married to Miss Joe A.Pyles, near Summerville, Ga.. He came to Chattanooga in 1871, and lived here until his death. He was a member of N.B.Forrest Camp.

He enlisted in Co.B-1st Georgia Cavalry, in 1862, and served as a faithful soldier until the surrender. Returning home, he assisted in building up the waste places of his country. He became a merchant in Newnan, Ga., where he amassed quite a fortune. He was married to Miss Isadore Burch, in 1869, daughter of Robert Simms and Martha S.(Reid) Burch, who survives him with four daughters, and with many friends mourns his death. The couple had eight children, and all four boys died in childhood. Comrade Hardaway served faithfully as State Senator. He was President of the Coweta National Bank, and was also an official in the Newnan Cotton Mills. Confederate Veteran:v.13, p.i-Per Find A Grave:Obit:Newnan, Ga., Feb.11-Captain R.H.Hardawy died this morning from an attack of pneumonia. He had been ill about two weeks. Captain Hardaway was one of Newnan’s most prominent and useful citizens, with large and varied business interests. He was a member of the firm of Hardaway & Hupter, probably the oldest and most widely known in this section of the state, having been established in 1872. He was also President of the Coweta National Bank, and Vice President of the Newnan Cotton Mills, besides being interested in other leading enterprises, either as a stockholder or director. He was a native of Meriwether county, but moved to Newnan in 1866, and he resided here continuously up to the time of his death. He entered the Confederate service as a mere boy, being a member of Co.B-1st Ga.Cavalry, Wheeler’s Division. He represented this district in the state senate in 1900—01, and was a poplular and useful member of that body. He was 67 years of age, and is survived by a widow and four children, the latter being Mrs.Martha King “Mattie” Strickland, Mrs.Virginia Rebecca “W.C.” McBride, Miss Corifie Hardaway, later Mrs.T.J.Fisher, and Miss Ruth Hardaway, all of this city. The funeral will occur tomorrow at Newnan. [Julia Ather Contributed this obit] Hardee, William J., Lieut.General-Born:Oct.12,1815 Camden Co., Ga. Died:Nov.6,1873 Buried:Old Live Oak Cemetery, Selma, Alabama-. Graduated from the U.S.Military Academy at West Point in July 1838; was made a Second Lieutenant of the Second Cavalry and promoted First Lieutenant in 1839. He served in the Florida war in 1840, when he was sent by the Government to Europe as a member of a Military Commission to study organization of foreign armies for the benefit of the U.S.Army. He was made Captain in 1844, and served on frontier duty until the war with Mexico, in 1846. He was in many severe engagements during that war. At La Hoya he was brevetted Major for gallant and meritorius conduct. He was promoted twice for gallantry, and was one of the original members of the famous “Aztec Club.” In 1853, he was selected by the Secretary of War, because of his professional accomplishments, to compile a system of infantry tactics, which was completed and adopted for the United States Army, Mar.29,1855. He was then sent as Commandant to the U.S.Military Academy (1856), where “Hardee’s Tactics” was then introduced. He remained at West Point until January 1861, when he resigned, and cast his lot with the Southern Confederacy. Mr.Davis tendered him the position of Adjutant General of the Confederate Army, but he declined it for service in the field. He was a Colonel at Fort Morgan, Brigadier General in Arkansas, Division Commander under Albert Sidney Johnston, and at the battle of Shiloh commanded the first line of attack. He was wounded, but was made a Major General for bravery on that field. At the battle of Perryville, Oct.8,1862, he was made Lieutenant General. At the battle of Murfreesboro, the Commander, Gen. Bragg especially commended him in orders “for skill, valor, and ability.” He commanded the right wing of the Confederate Army at the battle of Missionary Ridge, which battle was fought against his advice, and Gen.Thomas declared that he was “the most efficient General the Confederacy had on that field.” Subsequently the manoeuvers of his troops near Cassville, and his masterly retreat in eschelon of Divisions, so won the admiration of Gen.Thomas that he mentioned both movements in highly complimentary terms. When Sherman marched down to the Sea, Hardee was in command at Savannah, ever breasting the storm, calling for more troops, alas! No longer possible! He withdrew his forces, first to Charleston, then to Columbia. He punished the enemy effectiveley at Averysboro, on the 16th of March, 1865, and a few days later, he led, in the battle of Bentonville, the last charge that was made by our war-worn soldiers, and his only son sixteen years old, was among the last to fall. Gen.Hardee was called “Old Reliable,” and a historian has said that he was second only to Stonewall Jackson. It is recorded that “he was the only Lieut.General who personally inspected the arms and accoutrements of each soldier in his Corps.” Gen.Johnston said that “he was more capable of commanding twenty thousand men in battle than any other Confederate General.” He is remembered by those who visited the Military Academy while he was Commandant for his soldierly bearing, and pleasing address. He was eminently a social man, and very fond of society. Gen.Hardee died on the 6th of Nov.,1873, in Wytheville, Va. His remains were removed to Selma, Alabama, his home after the war. The funeral procession was the largest ever assemble in Alabama, and many of his old army friends, of both armies, joined in tributes to his memory as “an earnest friend, a genial companion, and a brave soldier.” The foregoing concise account of Gen.Hardee’s career from the pen of N.R.Chambliss, Selma, Alabama, will be read with general interest.-Confederate Veteran:v.3, p.142-on FAG-Pictures Hargrove, Allen H., Lieut.-Text: Lieut.Allen H.Hargrove, of the 3rd Texas Cavalry, died near Crafton, Texas on Nov.10,1900.

He was known as a good officer, and held in high confidence and esteem. After the war, he returned to Texas, and spent the remainder of his life in the pursuits of a quiet and happy life.

Saunders sends notice of the death of Rev.J.T.Harris on the 23rd of Sept. 1903, after an illness of more than two years. As a Confederate soldier, he had made a spotless record, serving his country faithfully and fearlessly during the first two years with Co.A-14th Texas Cavalry, and then to the end of the war with Gano’s Texas Cavalry. For valor he was promoted from the ranks to captain, and all who served under him loved him for his kindness and bravery. He organized the Erath-Comanche Confederate Veteran Association some fourteen years ago, and this has grown to be one of the strongest organizations of its kind in the State. Comrade Harris was aid-de-camp on the staff of Gen.W.L.Cabell, and was one of two Confederates honored with complimentary membership in the Grand Army of the Republic, the being Gen.James Longstreet. He was held in high esteem as a man of brilliant intellect, strong moral character, and a friend staunch and true.Confederate Veteran:v.12,p.130 Harrison, John Stewart-Text: Died suddenly at his home, near Louisville,Ky., Dec.16,1901, of paralysis, John Stewart Harrison, formerly captain in the army, and later adjutant of the Second Regiment of Virginia Infantry, Stonewall Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. The simple announcement of his death has brought sadness to many hearts, both in his native Stat of Virginia, where the most of his surviving comrades of the old Stonewall brigade reside, and the state of his adoption. In the renowned organization to which he belonged no one bore a finer reputation for all the qualities that go to make up the character of a good soldier. In the camp or on the march he was the steady-going sort, took everything at its best, without murmur or complaint. No duty however tedius or disagreeable had any effect on his serene temper. He was always to his intimates the same dear old “Jock,” as we affectionately called him among ourselves. In battle he had few equals and no superiours. His courage was of the unruffled sort; no danger being great enough to have the slightest effect upon his demeanor. To his children Jock Harrison has left a great heritage; that of a good name,a true soldier, a spotless gentleman. To them belongs his memory-the memory of the gallant deeds that he did “in the days that were.” Confederate Veteran:v.10, p.128 Harrison, Thomas, Major Born:Aug.9,1843 Died:May 9,1910 Buried:Friendship Cemetery, Columbus, Miss.-Tstone-Text: In his sixty fifth year Maj.

Baldwin, and when the latter was killed, he received appointment on the staff of Gen. William J. Hardee, where he served to the end of the war, surrendering at High Point, N. C., on May 26, 1865. For many years after the war he was a planter in Leflore County, Miss., but of late years had leased his farm and lived at a hotel in Columbus. His remains were carried to the residence of his grandfather, Maj. T. G. Blewett, and there lay in state with the Confederate flag across the coffin, the cross of honor pinned on his breast, and the sword of his youngest uncle, who was killed in battle, upon the coffin. The Isham Harrison Camp, U. C.

He was born in New Orleans October 1, 1839, and at an early age engaged in business there. At the call to arms at the outbreak of the Civil War he volunteered and was elected first lieutenant of the New Orleans Cadets, and soon thereafter was commissioned as first lieutenant of volunteers by Gov. Thomas O. Moore. On October 16, 1861, he was made captain of the New Orleans Cadets of the 5th Louisiana Regiment of Volunteers. The regiment was sent to the Army of Northern Virginia, and was prominent in a number of engagements during 1861 and 1862. For his distinguished bravery Captain Hart was presented with a handsome sword by residents of New Orleans. In January, 1863, he was commissioned by James Seddon, Secretary of War for the Confederate States, as major, in which rank he served until wounded in the battle of Antietam and carried from the field. He was captured at Fredericksburg, and was confined at Fort Delaware until exchanged. He reentered the army and served in many important posts until the fateful day at Appomattox. After the close of the war he married Leonora, the youngest daughter of Jacob A.

Mrs.Lucy White Hayes, the widow of Joel Addison Hayes (1815-1890), died after a brief illness at the Nashville home of W.L.B. Lawrence of pneumonia. She had been spending the winters for some years with her daughter, Mrs.Lula H.Lawrence, in Florida, and as usual had come to Tennessee for the summer. Mrs.Hayes was ready to visit her daughter, Mrs.A.E.Garrett, near Carthage, Tenn., when the fatal illness attacked her. Two of her sons, summoned from their far away home, J. Addison Hayes and W.O.Hayes arrived from Colorado Springs, Col. Mrs.Lawrence had already arrived from Orlando, Fla., and Mrs.Garrett was accessible in her Tennessee home so that all were present except Capt.Richard Hayes, of San Antonio, Texas. Much space might be given to the beautiful life of this noble woman. She was the daughter of Wm.V.Taylor, of Memphis, Tenn., granddaughter of Judge Leonard Henderson, who was Chief Justice of N.Carolina for some forty years, great-granddaughter of Dick Henderson, of the Transylvania Company (the most conspiciuous corporation that had existed in its time). Mrs.Hayes maintained the exalted characteristics of her illustrious progenitors. She kept abreast of the times in all things.

His mother was a daughter of John Poole Sprigg and a great granddaughter of Col. Joseph Belt, of Colonial fame, an ancestor of two of Maryland's earlier Governors, Samuel Sprigg and Thomas G. Pratt. On August 12, 1862, Richard Hays and about forty others crossed the Potomac River and a company of cavalry was formed under command of Col. E. V. White. This command grew to six companies, and a battalion was organized as the 35th Virginia and mustered into service October 26, 1862, when E. V. White was made major. Company B was commanded by Capt. George W. Chiswell and was known as Chiswell's "Exile Band." By a charge at Park's Store, Va. on November 29, 1863, the battalion won the name "Comanches," given to it by General Rosser, under whom it became a part of the Laurel Brigade. Comrade Hays served gallantly to the close of the war. He never lost his ardor for the cause, and in late years served as Chaplain of Ridgely Brown Camp U. C. V., of Rockville, Md. He ever held out a helping hand to his old comrades in distress. He was ambitious that a monument be erected to the memory of the men who wore the gray from his section, and he was actively interested in securing a fund for that purpose. Through him and other Confederate veterans a Chapter, U.D. C., was organized in Rockville, which was named for his old commander, Col. E. V. White. A faithful soldier of the stars and bars, so was he under the banner of the cross, and now it is well with him.

He enlisted January 1, 1862, as a private soldier in Company C, 12th Virginia Cavalry, Gen. Thomas L. Rosser's well known "Laurel Brigade." He served in the ranks, but most frequently as scout, detailed by General Rosser, until the command was disbanded, in the latter part of April, 1865. Rosser and Munford and their commands refused to be paroled at Appomattox. Mr. Herbert was a member of the Gen. Turner Ashby Camp, No. 240, Virginia Division, at Winchester, Va., and received in 1902 from Dabney Maury Chapter, U. D. C., Philadelphia, his Southern cross of honor. In 1877 he removed to Sandusky, Ohio, where he engaged in business until his death. He married in December, 1877, Miss Elizabeth Davis Lee, and held several municipal offices in the city.

He was “only” a private, but he was perhaps the most widely known soldier of that class in the Confederacy. He served as sergeant major later in the war, but he was proud of being a private. Charles Herbst was born of German parentage at Mayfield, Ky., about 1824. When the great Confederate war broke out, in 1861, he was in business in New York City, but was prompt in making his way South and joined the Second Kentucky Infantry. This magnificent command was in the battle of Fort Donelson. Mr.Herbst was of the prisoners who were sent to Camp Morton (Indianapolis) prison. Ere long, because (it is presumed) of his great efficiency in every particular, he was detailed as a clerk in the prison post office. He was so devoted a friend to the writer (editor of the Veteran) that in camp or in hospital, he was ever supplying the best procurable delicacies. This brief notice must not be concluded without a word for Maj.T.O.Chestney, Capt.R.E.Park, of Macon, and their families for unfailing kindnesses to him in his long and severe affliction. He was ever devoted to little children. Confederate Veteran:v.6,p.583. Herr, William Wallace, Captain-Text:Vol.20,1912-In a tribute to William Wallace Herr, of the Rice E. Graves Camp, U. C.

He not only followed the flag of the South until it went down, to rise no more forever, but through all the years of peace which have come down to us since the cause of the Confederacy succumbed to overwhelming numbers and resources to the hour of his death we was true and loyal to the stars and bars and to the cause of the Old South, which he so gallantly defended. As a young man he recruited a company for the Confederate army in Jefferson County and drilled it until it was one of the most efficient military organizations in the Confederate service. He was elected a lieutenant in his company, and made one of the most efficient officers in the gallant 1st Kentucky Cavalry. His soldierly qualities readily attracted the attention of the commander of the 1st Kentucky Cavalry, Col. Ben. Hardin Helm, who was a graduate of West Point. Colonel Helm while he commanded the 1st Kentucky Cavalry appointed Wallace Herr sergeant major of the regiment, and when he was promoted to the rank of a brigadier general –(p.128 Confederate Veteran March 1912) and placed in command of the Orphan Brigade, he tendered to Wallace Herr the position of aid de camp on his staff. Thi3 position he filled with distinction, and he was ever on the firing line. General Helm relied upon him as his chief of staff. He was with General Helm upon that memorable field of Chickamauga when the latter fell mortally wounded, and died in front of the enemy. In the midst of a leaden storm he picked up the General and bore him to the rear, where in a short time he died. Captain Herr then reported immediately to Col. J. H. Lewis, of the 6th Kentucky Infantry, who, being the senior colonel of the Orphan Brigade, became its commander upon the death of General Helm. Wallace Herr served through that battle, as General Lewis says in his report of it (see 'War Records,' Series 1., Volume XXX., Part II., page 206), 'Gallantly and Faithfully.' Later Wallace Herr served upon the staff of Gen. John S. Williams, but being such a fine soldier, in an emergency he was selected to command a company of scouts, which position he filled with such efficiency, fidelity, and bravery that he became one of the marked men in the Army of Tennessee. As a citizen in times of peace, he was a model man. He added to the wealth of the community in which he lived, he was first in all enterprises that promoted the welfare of his fellow citizens, he loved his country and its laws, and from the close of the war to the day of his death stood ready at all times to defend its integrity and honor against all enemies. We have lost a great man. But reviewing his life both in war and in peace, reviewing his upright conduct toward his fellows, his Christian virtues and his manly bearing at all times, it is not too much to hope that he has passed to a land which is fairer than day,' where we all hope he will meet many another brave and loyal comrade who has gone before. Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to each of the local papers and to the CONFEDERATE VETERAN at Nashville, Tenn., for publication. Hester, L. C.-Text: L. C. Hester was born in Person County, N. C., October 29, 1844 and died December 11, 1909. He entered the service of the Confederate States at the age of eighteen years, and served faithfully at the front in the 4th North Carolina Cavalry until Lee surrendered at Appomattox. He made an enviable record as a soldier, and until his death was very much interested in all Confederate organizations. As a private citizen he was kind hearted, generous, loyal, and true, ever ready to serve his country in peace and in war. He was a true type of the Old South. He possessed the confidence of all who came in contact with him by his integrity of character. In 1888 he joined Clement Church, and until his death was a most faithful member, being held in high esteem by all his brethren. In 1869 he married Miss Margaret Burton, who survives him with their seven children. Vol.18,1910 Hewitt, Fayette, Capt.-Born:Oct.15,1831 Elizabethtown, Ky. Died:Jan.26,1909 Frankfort, Ky. Picture/Tstone-Text: Gen. Fayette Hewitt, one of Kentucky's most distinguished sons, died early this year in Frankfort, and was buried in Elizabethtown. In his youth he was a close student, and at an age when most boys are only entering college he had gone through the usual curriculum in languages, mathematics, and science. His close devotion to his library told upon his health, and he went to Louisiana as an invalid, remaining there several years and receiving appointments of high honor not only from the government, but from the vote of the people as well. Later he located in Washington, and was there when the war broke out. He at once resigned his position under the government and went to Virginia for the purpose of enlistment, The newly formed Postal Department of the Confederacy wired to General Hewitt and requested his assistance in organization. He remained in this department till it was in perfect operation, then resigned from active service. His record as a soldier is very brilliant. He was appointed assistant adjutant general and sent for duty with Gen Albert Pike, commanding the Department of the Indian Territory. Later by transfers he served under Generals Hindman, Holmes, and Walker, and was appointed to the staff of General Breckinridge. General Helm being without an adjutant. General -p.178 Confederate Veteran April 1909.-Hewitt was transferred to his staff, and was with this command at the battle of Jackson. Later in the campaign in Tennessee he was in the battle of Chickamauga and all the subsequent engagements in which Helm's command took part. His courage was of that superior kind which enables a man to be perfectly collected and cool and not to be thrown off his guard or unsteadied by the most imminent and trying danger. Going into the battle of Entrenchment Creek, he saw a soldier throw away his blanket because it was so in the way while fighting. General Hewitt remonstrated and told the man he would need it if wounded. Then he tied the blanket behind his own horse. This horse was shot under him, and General Hewitt unbuckled the blanket and carried it till another horse was procured. After the battle General Hewitt restored the blanket to its owner, who was in the field hospital badly wounded. The man said he had seen the horse shot, and if it had been him he would never have thought of that blanket, but only of getting away. Besides this horse, he had two others shot under him, but was never injured himself, though balls repeatedly passed through his clothing and hat and once through his hair. At the close of the war he went to Elizabethtown, Ky., and for a time was principal of the Female Seminary. Then when the expatriation law was repealed he resumed his practice of law, combining with this many years of hard work for questions of State, keeping ever what was best for his people before his eyes, and never being wearied in his endeavors to carry out all laws. His private character was as noble as his public character was grand and worthy of all imitation. He was brave, courteous, unassuming, generous to an extreme, kind and obliging, a considerate friend, and a brave and knightly foe. In his death Kentucky lost a splendid citizen and many citizens lost a perfect friend. Per FAG: In 1859 Lafayette Hewitt was appointed a position in the U.S. post office at Washington DC, but resigned this commission after Lincoln's election as president of the U.S. He joined the Confederacy in 1861 as assistant adjutant, with the rank of captain. In 1863 he was appointed to serve on the staff of Gen. John C. Breckinridge and later to the staff of Gen. Ben Hardin of the First Kentucky Brigade. He served with the brigade until the close of the war. In 1865 he returned to Kentucky and began a law practice. In 1867 he was commission by Ky. Gov. Stevenson to serve as guartermaster-general of Kentucky. He was elected state auditor in 1879, serving for 10 years. He died in Frankfort and was buried in his hometown of Elizabethtown. Hewitt was also active in various Confederate Veteran activties. The Sons of Confederate Camp in Frankfort was named in his honor. The Gen.

During the War between the States he served –(p.83 Confederate Veteran February 1908)-under Morgan, and won distinction for his courage and devotion to the cause of the South. As a citizen he won the respect of the public for his manly and Christian character. He was a member of the M. E. Church, South, nearly all of his life. He leaves a wife, six children, and a sister, Mrs. G. G. Gilbert. Per FAG: Children:Green Duncan Hinkle (1870 - 1891)* Spouse:Annie E. Hinkle (1847 - 1910 Hodges, James Calloway, Captain-Text: [The following is from a memorial adopted by Camp J. W. Fulkerson, No. 1340, at Tazewell, Tenn., May 5, 1908.] Capt. James Calloway Hodges was born on a farm in Claiborne, Tenn., May 1, 1837, and passed to the other life from his home, in Morristown, Tenn., on March 22, 1908. He was reared in the vicinity where he was born, amid the rural surroundings incident to country life. He attended the common schools in the neighborhood and the college in Tazewell, having among his teachers and associates such men as John M. Southern, James D. Thomas, and James G. Rose, all of whom rose to distinction. He taught school for a number of years in different sections of Claiborne and Hancock Counties, and shortly before the Civil War he took up his residence in Morristown as a clerk in the store of Mr. Morris, for whom the city was named (a large merchant for that place), and while clerking in the store he read law. On the breaking out of the War between the States, before the State of Tennessee had passed the ordinance of secession, Captain Hodges joined as a private the 19th Regiment of Confederate Volunteers, commanded by Colonel Cummings, and immediately went into active military service. Soon thereafter he was made first lieutenant, and at or about the time of the battle of Shiloh was made captain of his company. In the retreat after the death of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston (in the battle of Shiloh) Captain Hodges was seriously wounded, and he carried the bullet until his death. During the time that he was disabled he visited his home, in Morristown, and on September 18, 1862, he married Miss M. A. Witt, of a prominent family of that community, who survives him. As soon as Captain Hodges recovered from this wound he returned to the military service as a captain in the 60th Tennessee Regiment. He was captured at Big Black River just before the siege of Vicksburg, and was taken to Johnson's Island, on Lake Erie, where he was confined as a prisoner of war until in February, 1865, when he was exchanged and returned to the army and served under General Vaughn until after the surrender at Appomattox.Returning to his home at Morristown, he resumed the duties of a private citizen. He was soon prominent and active in the practice of the law, having a large and lucrative practice in Hamblen and adjoining counties, including Claiborne, his native county. He was for a time a law partner of Judge James G. Rose, and in November, 1874, he was elected to the State Senate from the district composed of the counties of Claiborne, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, and Sullivan, and served in the session of the Legislature of 1875 with marked ability. After his term as a member of the Legislature ended, he resumed his law practice, and later became Recorder of the city of Morristown, which position he held at the time of his death. In his early manhood he attached himself to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and during all of his long life he was a prominent, devoted, and consistent member of that organization, and died as he had lived, a Christian gentleman. Captain Hodges had not striven to attain great endowments of wealth nor to scale the ramparts of selfish ambition. His had been the more humble career of conscientious service in the routine of a consecrated home, the role of good citizenship in the community where he lived, and of active interest in behalf of the adjustment of the laws of the State where he lived, so that they might not lead the weak and weary into temptation. * * *It was resolved by the Camp: "That Captain Hodges was a good man, an affectionate husband and father, an exemplary citizen, and a Christian gentleman, and as a member of the legal profession he was ever courteous, kind, industrious, honorable, and high minded. He was in every way worthy of the profession that he honored by his professional conduct. Also that we tender to his bereaved widow and family our earnest and sincere sympathy." Hodges, Tom Pope-Text: Capt. Tom Pope Hodges, second son of Colonel Hodges, was a student at Chapel Hill, N. C., when the war began. He returned to his home, and was elected first lieutenant in Capt. Lafayette Hodges's company of Prairie Mount, Miss., and was soon promoted to captain, his senior officer, Capt. Lafayette Hodges, his cousin, being promoted to major. Capt. Toro Pope Hodges's lieutenants were Eugene Evans, brother of Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, of Mobile, Ala., and Lieutenant Rand, of Mississippi. Col. Byrd Williams was in command of his regiment, the 41st, Mississippi, and W. F. Tucker brigadier general. After going through the battles of Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Shiloh, Corinth, Missionary Ridge, from Dalton to Atlanta, he was killed in the battle of Atlanta, July 28, 1864, at the age of twenty two years. ..He was brave and kind, the pride of his home and defender of all who needed his care. As my thoughts traverse the long vista of years gone by I see the home embowered amid the oaks, the white columns of the porch gleaming in the moonlight, the watchdog aroused by a hurried footstep upon the long walk, a knock at the door. It is past the midnight hour. There was sad news from the front: "Tell them Colonel Tom is no more, slain in battle." Colonel Hodges, already broken in health, was crushed in spirit and heart. Months passed, and it was feared by his loved ones he could not recover, yet. he did to some extent, and lived to guide his little family bark in safe waters, provided generous homes for each, despite his enfeebled condition, and when age and the effects of ill health bore too heavily upon him, he made his home with his eldest daughter, wife of Judge J. B. Chapline(who served in the 16th South Carolina Regiment), in Lonoke, Ark., until July 27, 1893, when the end came at the age of seventy eight years. The close of his life was calm and peaceful, surrounded by his children and grandchildren. TRIBUTE TO CAPTAIN HODGES, BY GENERAL TUCKER.-HOUSTON, Miss., August 11, 1864. Col. Fleming Hodges Dear Sir: I presume ere this you have learned that your son, Capt. T. P. Hodges, was killed -p.18 Confederate Veteran January 1911-near Atlanta on the 28th ult. I offer my sympathy in this your irreparable loss. He was a gallant soldier and a truehearted man. I knew him long and well, and I never knew him to utter a sentiment or do an act of which his father would be ashamed. Kind as a woman to those who looked to him for care and protection, true in his friendship, open and manly in his intercourse with his comrades, gallant in action, he was a model soldier and gentleman. I loved and trusted him, and he never sailed me. I have lost a friend, his country a gallant soldier, and you a son of whom any father might be proud. Accept my sympathy and condolence. W. F. TUCKER, Brigadier General. Col. Byrd Williams wrote the father: IN THE FIELD NEAR ATLANTA, July 29, 1864. Col.

He fell leading his company in a charge on the enemy in the battle of the 28th inst. I was in two steps of him when he fell. He was shot in the breast, the ball entering near the left nipple and passing through his body. He lived only a few minutes. His only words were: 'O God!' I sent three of his men to Atlanta last night with instructions to bury him in as good style as possible, and to mark his resting place, so his friends could find him.

Sheetz was born and reared in the South Branch Valley, Va. (now West Virginia), growing up among men whose watchwords were honor, integrity, and loyalty to State. When the Southland called for troops, he enlisted under the Southern cross with such spirits as Harness Vanmeter, Vandiver, Kuykendall, Cunningham. McNeill, and a host of other mighty men, with whom he marched in paths where death lurked, but where duty led. Faithful unto the end, he returned home with the consciousness of having fought for a principle he knew was right and which might could not make otherwise. His home was at Keyser, W. Va."-p.276 Confederate Veteran June 1906. Hood, Bynum H., Major-Text: Maj.Bynum H.Hood died at his home in Dawson, Ga., on Dec.6,1905, after many months of feeble health. He was sixty nine years of age, was born in Meriwether Co., and was educated under Morgan H. and George C.Looney in Fayetteville. He enlisted in Apr.1861, in Forrest’s Brigade, under his teacher Capt.George C.Looney, and was with him through the Western campaign, in the famous raide on Murfreesboro Jul.23,1862, in the battles of Perryville, Chickamauga, and around Atlanta. Failing health casued his discharge in 1863, but he continued with the army and was detailed by Gen. Good on his returne to Tennessee to get up supplies. He served in this capacity until the surrender, and was mustered out in May, 1865. He went to Dawson in 1866 to teach school, but soon after became identified with the business interests of that place, and in 1889 was prominently connected with the building of the Columbus Southern Railroad through Dawson. Confederate Veteran:v.14, p.470 Hooper, John H.-Text:Vol.13,1905-John H. Hooper was born in Switzerland in 1843, and died at Marshall, Tex., in June, 1904, aged sixty one years. Of this period, four years were spent as a private in Hood's Brigade, battling for the cause he had espoused, for a country which was his by adoption, and a people among whom be had cast his lot and with whom he deemed it a privilege to live and die. He was married in 1874, and, although no children blessed this union, six adopted orphans of Confederate soldiers might have called him "father." With them and his faithful wife he lived in unbroken sympathy and love until separated by the hand of death. For twenty two years comrade Hooper was car inspector for the Texas and Pacific Railway at Marshall. In all his duties and relations of life no trust was ever violated and no deviation was made from the line of duty and integrity, and in his death that community lost a citizen of worth and his family a loving and devoted husband and friend. Hope, James Edward-Text: James Edward Hope died at College Hill, Lafayette County, Miss., November 14, 1907. He was born at College Hill in 1842, and enlisted in Company G, 30th Mississippi Volunteer Infantry, at the organization of the regiment. He held the responsible position of ensign through all the engagements in which the regiment participated till he was wounded, with the flag of the regiment in his hands, at Franklin, Tenn., in Hood's memorable assault upon the Federal works. He was taken prisoner, and was in prison at Camp Chase and Fort Delaware. After exchange his wound prevented his returning to active service. It disabled him for many years after the war. At the time of his death he was an active member of the Confederate Camp at Oxford, Miss., and custodian of the magnificent flag presented to the survivors of Walthall's Brigade at the Dallas Reunion by Mrs. John Ross, the daughter of General Walthall. Hopkins, Abner C., D.D.-Text:vol.20,1912- The end of a noble life came by the death of Dr. A. C. Hopkins at his home, in Charlestown, W. Va., on December 4, 1911. To the people among whom he had lived and served as pastor his memory will ever be a benediction, and to others who knew him his noble and unselfish life will be an inspiration to higher and better living.Dr. Abner C. Hopkins was born in Powhatan County, Va., in 1835, and was a graduate of Hampden Sidney College. During the War of the States he was chaplain of the Stonewall Brigade, and often under fire. He later served as chaplain of the Second Army Corps, A. N. V., and was on the staff of Gen. John B. Gordon on the last retreat of the Confederate army from Petersburg to Appomattox. He began his first pastorate fifty years ago at Martinsburg, W. Va., and in 1866 became pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Charlestown, a ministration ending only with his death. He was prominent in the work of his Church, but no narrow denominational tines confined his service. Following the footsteps of the Master through a long and consecrated pilgrimage, of a verity he was ready. Vol.20,1912 Horton, Joseph-Text:Vol.17,1909-This son of the Confederacy was born at the family home, near Nashville, just before the outbreak of the War between the States. His youth was passed within sight of the great battlefield, and his earliest recollections were of hearing tales of the great conflict of which he never tired, and thus almost from infancy he was fired with enthusiasm for the Confederate cause, and his love of country and of the beautiful Southland grew with his growth and strengthened with his strength. Always of a studious nature, Joseph Horton made a study of the strenuous events which marked the first period of his life, and no other knew perhaps the history of the Confederacy better than he. His education was received at the University of Nashville, a sacred, historic spot, where his father and grandfather had preceded him, all bearing the same name. He graduated at the Cumberland University Law School, Lebanon, Tenn., before attaining his majority, and at the time of his decease, June 4, 1909, in Washington, D. C., he was engaged in the practice of his profession. His earthly life was cut short, ending in the midday of his career. "His sun went down while it was yet day," for the future was to him full of daylight and promise. Succeeding a period of unusual good health, he was suddenly stricken down, and after an illness of sixteen days, attended by the loving ministrations of a devoted wife and sympathetic friends, he passed peacefully away, where in the years of eternity his uncompleted tasks may be finished, his labors rewarded, and the fulfillment of his desires accomplished. He was brought back to his beloved Tennessee, where in beautiful Mount Olivet, under a towering shaft marked with the names of loved ones gone before, he was assigned to a last resting place. Touchingly beautiful were the services at the home. A pathetic figure was that of his old nurse. Aunt 'Liza, now a rare relic of antebellum days, who, faithful to the end, had walked far and long to take a last look upon him who still ,was to her "as a little child" and whose tender years had been intrusted to her motherly and watchful care. To comfort those left to mourn this loss I would say that so quiet and peaceful was the transition that, as he hoped, when the call came there was no "sadness of farewell," and almost his last words, spoken steadily and bravely, were: "I hope to see my Pilot face to face when I have crossed the bar."The foregoing tribute is from one who dearly loved him. By his profound knowledge the VETERAN had fondly expected some articles from his gifted pen. Many of the United Daughters of the Confederacy who attended the Convention in San Francisco will recall his interested presence in their meetings and outings accompanied by his wife, a daughter of Col. George W. Polk and a niece of the bishop general who gave his life for the Confederacy. HOUSE, JOSIAH STEWART- J. S.

He was ever true to the principles for which he fought. The Confederate cause was sacred to him. As a citizen he was modest and retiring and had the esteem of his fellow men. He took great interest in the welfare of young men, and it was his nature to look on the brightside of life. He was a good husband and a loving father. For several years his home was with his son Enoch, in Gibson County, Tenn., where he died. He was for many years a member of the Masonic fraternity and of the Baptist Church.From the fire of battle of four long years J. S. House returned to his home and was one of the brave men whose judgment in Reconstruction days helped to curb the resentment of impetuous Southerners when sorely tried by the Federal authorities and changed conditions in the South.With sincere appreciation of the friendship that existed between us, it is in sadness that I place this humble tribute to his memory.

He was one of the first to respond to his country's call, when the mightiest army of the world was marshaling against the Southern States. He went in a mere boy and came out a broken down man. He was in the defense of Yorktown, and that terrible retreat to Richmond, fought the battles in defense of that city, and afterward followed Gens. Lee and Jackson through their wonderful campaigns. He was shot by the enemy twenty or more times, which shows that he was always in the thickest of the fight. When his cause went down he accepted the situation and, like the true and brave man that he was, went earnestly to work to repair his fallen fortune, and prove himself in time of peace a successful and useful man.

Per FAG:Picture/Tstone Buried:Maple Hill Cemetery, Huntsville, Ala. Hunt, Allie G., Lieut.-Text:Vol.19,1911-Veteran Allie G. Hunt, who died suddenly of heart failure, at his home in Dallas,.Tex., March 16, 1911, was born near Lexington, Ky., on December 23, 1839, and therefore was seventy one years of age. Lieutenant Hunt was a gallant soldier of the Confederate army. His family, like many other families in Kentucky, was much divided. His father had four sons, two of whom served on one side while the other two fought against them. This son, Albert Gallatin, and George W., the oldest brother, joined the Confederate army, both serving under Morgan, while his brothers Burgess Hunt, Col. P. B. Hunt (Collector of Internal Revenue at Dallas, Tex.), and G. Drummond Hunt, the youngest brother, served in the Federal army. The latter was killed in the battle of Missionary Ridge. Lieutenant "Allie" Hunt entered the service in 1862, during Bragg's invasion of Kentucky, and he left the State as aid de camp to General Abe Buford, whose cavalry brigade was a part of the rear guard to Bragg's army as it retreated. After reaching Tennessee he went to Mississippi and joined his brother in Blackburn's Company, the 28th Mississippi Cavalry Starke's regiment. He remained with this command while it operated on the Mississippi River, and went with it to Columbia, Tenn., where it was placed under General Van Dorn, who was operating around Nashville and in Middle Tennessee. He was in the battle of Thompson Station, where Van Dorn captured the entire Federal force opposing him. In the spring of 1863 he was transferred to the 5th Kentucky (Smith's), of Gen. John H. Morgan's command. To this he was entitled by the laws of the Confederacy, which gave to a soldier serving with a command from another State, a transfer to one from his own State, and especially if it was in the way of promotion. Colonel Smith had offered to him the position of sergeant major of his regiment. Shortly after he reached his new command and reported for duty, General Morgan started on his great raid into Indiana and Ohio. He was with his command when it was captured at Buffington, Ohio, and was placed in prison at Camp Douglas, but the Federals did not hold him long, for he soon made his escape from the prison walls, and in a short while he was back in the South and on duty. After his escape from prison, he went to Cincinnati by rail, where he remained several days, from there he went by Maysville to Millersburg, Kyä his purpose being to go through the mountains to Virginia, but from information he there received, and the advice of friends, he changed his mind. He sold his horse, went back to Cincinnati, and from thence by rail to St. Louis. He reached Memphis by steamer, and there he shipped as a deck hand on a government boat. He slept and ate with the hands, and helped in the work at the wood yards, etc. The captain and the mate were Southern men, though the other officers were Union, and at Friar's Point, Miss., he quietly stole away. From there he walked forty miles before reaching the Confederate lines. He went by Jackson and Mobile to Atlanta, Ga., where he reported to Col. Adam Johnson, who at Decatur was collecting and reorganizing the Morgan men those who had failed to go on the Ohio raid, and those who had escaped capture in Ohio and with Colonel Johnson had succeeded in reaching the Virginia side by swimming the Ohio. At this place, Decatur, he found his brother George, from whom he had been separated at Columbia, Tenn., when he left that place to report to General Morgan. His brother had made application for transfer to Morgan at the same timehe did, but the application was opposed by the colonel of the regiment and he was taken away down to Jackson, Miss. the regiment having been ordered to Jackson to report to Gen. Joe Johnston, who was raising a force to relieve Pemberton. General Morgan having made his memorable escape from the Ohio penitentiary, at Columbus, was in the spring of '64 placed in command of the department of West Virginia, including a part of East Tennessee. Lieutenant Hunt was on duty with the Morgan men throughout the spring and summer, and up to that dreadful morning of the 4th of September, when at Greeneville, East Tenn., the Federals killed his beloved commander. He was commissioned as first lieutenant, for gallantry in the battle of Green River Bridge, Lebanon, and at Buffington, Ohio. After General Morgan's death. General Duke was placed in command of the Morgan men, and Lieutenant Hunt was an active participant in all the operations of the command up to the close of the war. After Lee's surrender. General Duke moved into North Carolina, and at Charlotte he met President Davis and offered his brigade as escort. Two days later Mr. Davis, accompanied by the members of his cabinet, left Charlotte escorted by five brigades of cavalry, and moved slowly through the Carolinas, but when they reached Washington, Ga., he left them. General Duke, at the advice of General Breckinridge, disbanded his men at Woodstock, Ga., a few miles distant, when Lieutenant Hunt and others from Lexington went to Augusta and were paroled, having heard that they would not be permitted to return to their homes in Kentucky, They heard better news later, and just one year afterwards, in 1866, Lieutenant Hunt was elected to the office of Clerk of the County Court of Fayette County, a position that he held for sixteen years, having been reelected three times. In 1892 he moved with his family to Dallas, Tex. In November, 1867, Comrade Hunt was married to Miss Mollie Craig, of Lexington, Ky., who, with their five children, -p.443 Confederate Veteran September 1911-three daughters and two sons, survive him. One daughter married William Karsner, another Walter Chambers, and the third Robert McGarvey. The sons are G. Drummond and Albert Gallatin. Mrs. Karsner resides in Lexington, Ky., all the others being residents of Dallas Tex. Comrade Hunt was also a valliant soldier of the cross, and he had expressed his readiness for his Master's call. He was a member of the First Baptist Church, of Dallas, Dr. Truett, pastor. In their report of the death of Comrade Hunt, the Sterling Price Camp of Confederate Veterans say: "Another brave and valiant Confederate soldier and an honored and respected citizen, a worthy and exemplary Christian gentleman, has been called from among us and has gone to his reward."

Eppa Hunton, of the Confederate army, died recently at the home of his son, Eppa Hunton, Jr., Richmond, Va., aged eighty six years. General Hunton, although a vigorous old man, had been blind and deaf for several months. He had been very low for several weeks, but his death was unexpected at this time. He was buried with military honors in historic Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond.General Hunton was known as the hero of Ball's Bluff. He was a member of theVirginia Secession Committee. He was also on the military committee to prepare Virginia for defense. He resigned as a brigadier general in the State service to enter the regular Confederate army. He was promoted to be a brigadier general after the battle of Gettysburg, where he was wounded in the charge up Cemetery Heights. He was captured at Sailor's Creek on "Lee's last retreat." General Hunton was elected to Congress in 1872, and was reelected thereafter four times. He was appointed United States Senator in 1892 to fill the unexpired term of John S. Barber, and was the colleague of Senator John W. Daniel. Per FAG: Teacher, Lawyer, CSA Brigadier General, United States Congressman, United States Senator. He was a schoolteacher, then a prosperous lawyer during the antebellum period. Elected as commonwealth attorney in his county, he engaged in politics and served in the state militia, becoming a Colonel, then a Brigadier General. A member of the Virginia secession convention, he was elected Colonel of the 8th Virginia, which he recruited and equipped, after Virginia withdrew from the Union. At First Bull Run he and his regiment performed gallantly, participating in the defense of Henry Hill and charging bravely in the final Confederate assault that routed the Union army. His conduct earned him commendation in the battle reports. Assigned to the brigade of Brigadier General George E. Pickett, the 8th Virginia's next major action was in the Seven Days' Campaign. When Pickett fell wounded at Gaines' Mill, he assumed command of the brigade, leading it for 3 days until he collapsed from exhaustion. He commanded the regiment for another year, leading it at Antietam and at Gettysburg. During Pickett's famed charge, he suffered a severe wound. His deserved promotion to Brigadier General, delayed because of his health, finally came on August 9, 1863. Replacing the deceased Brigadier General Richard B. Garnett as a brigade commander, he fought at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg. At Five Forks, on April 1, 1865, he and his brigade fought bravely against overwhelming Union forces. On April 6, he was captured, along with other Confederate generals, at Sayler's Creek and imprisoned in Fort Warren. His postwar career was even more distinguished than the one he had enjoyed prewar. He resumed his legal practice, in Warrenton, Virginia. He then served 4 terms as a United States Congressman from 1873 to 1881. He was the only Southern member of the electoral commission that decided the disputed presidential election of 1876 between Samuel Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes. He was also a United States Senator for 3 years from 1892 to 1895. He then retired to Warrenton until his death in Richmond, Virginia.

E. Carter Hutchinson and Lucy Burwell Randolph. He was educated at the University of Virginia, and then went to the University of Berlin, Germany. He was admitted to the bar in St. Louis, Mo., but the war broke out about that time, and he became one of the Mis souri Minute Men, the first organization of Southern sympathizers in Missouri, which came into existence in 1860. He aided in raising a company of the 2d Infantry Regiment of the Missouri State Guards, which went into camp at Lindell's Grove on May 3, 1861. This camp became known as Camp Jackson, and Major Hutchinson was serving as first lieutenant of a company at the time the camp was captured. He soon afterwards went to Memphis, Tenn., where he enlisted in the 1st Missouri Infantry Regiment. Commissioned a lieutenant at the beginning of his military career, he was soon made adjutant of his regiment, then promoted to major and assistant adjutant general of Bowen's Brigade, and later of the division. He was in active service in the field thereafter throughout the war, participating in most of the engagements fought in Mississippi up to the time of the capture of Vicksburg. After the surrender at Vicksburg, he was adjutant general of paroled prisoners at Demopolis, Ala., until returned to the Confederate service through an exchange of prisoners. In the fall of 1863 he joined the Army of Northern Virginia as assistant adjutant general of the division commanded by Gen. Robert E. Rodes, which constituted a part of Stonewall Jackson's corps. He was promoted to the rank of major, and subsequently to that of lieutenant colonel, serving continuously in the field and participating in all the battles of the campaign, from the Wilderness to Richmond, until captured at the battle of Cedar Creek, in Virginia, in the fall of 1864. He was held prisoner at Fort Delaware until June, 1865, when he was released on parole and went to St. Louis. Under the restrictive provisions of the Drake Constitution, then in force in Missouri, those who had borne arms against the Union or who had sympathized with, aided, or encouraged the Southern Confederacy were debarred from engaging in any profession. This disability turned Major Hutchinson temporarily away from the law, his chosen profession, and he entered the banking business, from which he retired as President of the Mechanics National Bank of St. Louis, Mo., in 1906, Major Hutchinson married Miss Mary Mitchell, daughter of Col. D. D. Mitchell, in 1865, three days after his release from prison. Their engagement had existed during the four years he was in the war, a period of total separation excepting a visit made in 1865 by Miss Mitchell to Fort Delaware by special permission of President Lincoln There were eight children of this union, all of whom are living. Major Hutchinson died November 21,1910. [The "War Records" give a singular experience of Major Hutchinson's. On March 9, 1865, B. Gratz Brown, United States Senator from Missouri, wrote Colonel Hoffman, commissary general of prisoners, that Major Hutchinson was on General Ramseur's staff when the general was wounded and captured. General Ramseur dying soon after this, Major Hutchinson was paroled to take charge of his body and convey it to Richmond. Upon reaching General Grant's lines the parole was disregarded, and he was ordered back to Washington and put into the Old Capitol Prison, General Hoffman replied to Senator Brown that Lieutenant General Grant had the right to recall the parole to Major Hutchinson, so he was undoubtedly held until the war ended.

To one of his daughters, the writer of this sketch, he was indeed “the noblest Roman of them all.” A keen sympathy and interest in the untiring ministry he gave to our Southern cause and a desire to do honon to whom honor is due has prompted this tribute: G.W.Hyde was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Mar.25,1838, that sacred soil from which sprang so many of our heroes of the South. In early manhood (1856-1859), he attended the University of Missouri, graduating there after a four year’s course of study. The following fall he entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and in 1862 was given the honor of full graduate. He was the first and only student at the seminary during these years from the west side of the Mississippi River. Upon graduation, he began work among the Confederate soldiers at Danville, Ky. His health gave way under the fearful strain, and after a long siege of typhoid fever followed. In Oct.1862, though not having recovered his health, he accepted the chaplaincy of the Confederate States and was stationed at Hugeuenot Springs, near Richmond, Va. There were gathered from five hundred to fifteen thousand convalescent soldiers, and there till the close of the war were the long hours of the fearsome day and the still black hours of the war-sick night spent in ministering to the wounded. The great struggle having ended, he returned to his beloved Missouri home and devoted his remaining years to the high and consecrated calling of the gospel ministry and the quiet of his home in Lexington.

His parents were Scotch, and from them he inherited those habits of study self-reliance, strict integrity, resolute and undaunted courage which marked his whole course in life. He was born in England, but came to America when a young man. After stopping in the Northern States a few years, he went to Wakulla Co., Fla., and took charge of an iron foundry at New Port, where he was working when the war between the States was declared. Casting his lot with the South, young Inglis enlisted in the Wakulla Guards, the first company of volunteers organized in that county. He was promoted to Captain of his company based on natural ability, and they became Co.D-3rd Florida Regiment, Johntson’t Army. Captain Ingliss led Co. D in many bloody battles that marked the line of Sherman’s march to the sea. When sent to silence a battery of Federal artillery that was pouring a deadly fire into the Confederate lines at Resaca, Ga., he hurled his gallant Floridians against that belching battery so furiously that he captured it, commander and all. When he handed his sword to Capt. Inglis, he discovered that it was his own brother. Returning to Florida at the close of the war, Captain Ingils married Miss Thomas, of Madison, and for more than half a century had been a prominent figure in the business and political affairs of his adopted State. He was an earnest and successful worker for the U.C.V.. His Comrades admired him with every position, from Captain to Major General of the Florida Division.

At the beginning of the war James Irvine joined the company of his uncle, Edward Brown, as first lieutenant, but the company was captured soon after leaving Jefferson City and thrown into prison at McDowell's College, St. Louis, and later sent to Alton, from which prison they were paroled.

For two years he had been in failing health, but. last summer he and Mrs. Jewell went North, hoping for relief. They returned early in the fall, however, because the General insisted that he must arrange for the Confederate Reunion of October 33 in Orlando. He was its manager in chief, and he attended faithfully to his duties. He went uptown and arranged for the funeral of Daniel O'Rouke, of Chuluota, a comrade, arriving home about noon. About three o'clock he became faint, and soon without a word his spirit slipped away while his wife was by his side reading to him. Often he had said he would like to go instantly without pain, since he was ready. The funeral was a great State pageant, the Presbyterian church being filled to the doors. The central part of the church was occupied by representatives of the Grand Chapter Knights Templar, the Knights Templar and Blue Lodge of Orlando, and Confederate veterans, and delegates from other places and sons of veterans and daughters of veterans were also largely represented. The Orlando bar attended in a body, while many citizens attended to pay their last tribute. General Jewell was born February 26, 1840, in Wakefield, Mass.

He volunteered at the age of 21 in the 20th Tenn., Col.Battle Rucker’s Company, at its organization at Triune, in May 1861. He was captured at Fishing Creek, and imprisoned at Camp Chase. When released he returned to his old regiment, but soon was detailed in the secret service scouts by Gen.Hardee, who was then at Shelbyville. Their duty was to go in the enemy’s lines, but never as a spy. While in this service he was captured near Triune, and while being carried North to prison, he made his escape near Louisville by jumping from the car window. He made his way back to the army, then in Georgia; was then attached to “Coleman’s Scouts, where he was a comrade of the brave Sam Davis. On one of these scouts he went to the house of Sam Waters, between Triune and Nolensville, where he met his true and tried friend, Miss Bettie Puckett, who frequently gave him information in regard to the enemy’s movements. She directed him to a thicket near by to remain during the day, where she could furnish him food for himself and horse. He was gone only a short time when a squad of Federal cavalry came up in pursuit of him, and accused Miss Bettie of concealing him. She endeavored to decoy them in a different direction, but seeing the tracks of his horse they soon found him asleep in the thicket. They endeavored to make him divulge some information, but failing, they put a leather strap around his neck, crossed at the back, and the two men getting hold of the other end they choked and strangled him to death. Thus died another martyr to “the lost cause.”-Confederate Veteran:v.3, p.373 John, Peter Monroe-Buried:Parnassus Cemetery, Blenheim, S.C.-Text: Peter Monroe John, a Confederate soldier, a member of "Hampton's Legion," and a Christian gentleman, has "passed over the river" and joined his comrades on the other side. He was born in Marlboro County, S. C., February 11, 1831, on land settled by his grandfather, Griffith John, one of the early Welsh settlers of that section. When he grew to manhood, he built himself a house almost in sight of the old homestead, where as a successful tiller of the soil he led an independent and peaceful life in a home which was noted far and wide for its generous and delightful hospitality. At the outbreak of the War between the States he enlisted as a private soldier, and for four years followed South Carolina's matchless warrior, Wade Hampton, through success and defeat, participating in all the battles fought by that famous Legion. Comrade John married first Miss Kate McArthur, of Richmond County, N. C., in 1859. She died in 1891, leaving two sons, the youngest of whom, Mr. W. L. John, survives his father.

Victor Blue, of the United States navy, who also survives him.Comrade John was true to all the trusts that life imposed upon him. Modest in disposition, quiet and dignified in manner, earnest in purpose, faithful to duty, helpful to friend and neighbor, he pursued his even way far from the rush and turmoil of the world which held on attractions for him, and was beloved by all who knew him. In his youth he united with the Methodist Church at Parnassus, remaining a true and steadfast member thereof for more than fifty years, until his death, which occurred on the afternoon of July 16, 1908, after an exceedingly painful but patiently borne illness of one week. An immense concourse of people attended his funeral,. so large, indeed, was the crowd gathered to show respect and. honor to their departed friend that the church could not hold them, and on this account the services were conducted in the grove adjacent. Peter John led a simple life, did the duty that was nearest, and in dying has bequeathed to those he left behind a wealth of beautiful memories which will live forever in their hearts. In sending the foregoing Miss Kate Lilly Blue writes: "As the daughter of a Confederate soldier long since gone to his rest, everything pertaining to the cause for which he fought is dear to me, and I also have been an interested reader of the CONFEDERATE VETERAN for some years. Peter John was devoted to the VETERAN. He preferred it to all other periodicals, and was greatly interested in the last copy, which came just before his death. He had his wife read it all to him.

At the close of hostilities he accepted a flattering offer of the Argentine Republic to undertake important torpedo work which he performed with credit to himself and the profession which he represented. He retired to private life in Virginia and afterward removed to California where he passed the remainder of his days. Son Receives News at Airlie-Wilmington, May 25 - Mr. Pembroke Jones of New York, who with his family, are at Airlie, their country home, received a message this morning from Pasadena, California, announcing the death of his father, Captain John Pembroke Jones,who had been in California for his health. He was 86 years of age and for the past few years had been the oldest living graduate of Annapolis. His home was near Hampton, Virginia, and the remains will be brought there later for interment. Jones, John Peter, Captain-Born:1838 Buried:Oakwood Cemetery, Charlottesville, Va.-Text:Vol.18,1910-Capt. John P. Jones died on January 18 at Charlottesville, Va., aged seventy one years. He was a native of Buckingham County, and entered the Confederate service as third lieutenant in Company D, 56th Virginia Regiment. It was known as the Buckingham Yancy Guard. In May, 1862, the company was recruited to about one hundred and thirty men, and Comrade Jones was made captain. He fought with gallantry in the battles of Fort Donelson, Cold Harbor, and Chancellorsyille. He was captured at Gettysburg in the charge of Pickett's Division, and was kept in prison at Johnson's Island for twenty two months. Returning to Buckingham, Captain Jones resumed his former occupation of farming, but removed to Albemarle County in 1883 and to Charlottesville in 1892. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Mary Purney, of Cumberland County. He is survived by the second wife, who was Miss Mary Goodman, of Buckingham County, and ten children seven sons and three daughters.-Per FAG:Captain-CSA Jones, William E., Brig. General Buried:Glade Spring Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Glade Spring, Va.-BY THOMAS W. COLLEY. Brig, Gen. William E. “Grumble” Jones was born on Middle Fork of Holston River, in Washington County, Va., May 9, 1824: and was killed in the battle of Piedmont, Va. on June 5, 1864. His father, Robert Jones, was an early settler, and his mother was Miss Edmondson, whose ancestors helped to subdue this wilderness. He grew up, surrounded by hardy pioneers, midst the picturesque scenery of this beautiful mountain regic:' , with its clear streams of sparkling water. It was here that many of the heroes of King's Mountain lived. When the hour came for the display of military genius, it found William E. Jones ready to do his part. Gen. Jones was educated at Emory and Henry College and at West Point Military Academy. Graduating from the latter place in 1848, the next three years were spent in Oregon as second lieutenant in the Mounted Rifles, U. S. A. Returning home on furlough in 1852, he was married to Miss Eliza Dunn. He left for his post of duty soon after his marriage, taking his young bride with him. The vessel on which they took passage from New Orleans was wrecked at Pass Caballo. Tex" on March 26, 1862. In attempting to land from the wreck, the young wife was swept away from the arms of her husband by the angry waves, and drowned. Lieut. Jones would have shared the same fate but for the heroic efforts of his cousin, Thomas B. Edmondson. He returned to his command with a sad and broken heart. His wife's remains were recovered, brought back to Virginia, and interred at old Glade Spring Church. In September, l8g6, he resigned his commission and returned to his home, and in 1857 he visited Europe. Returning home, he spent four years on his beautiful estate on the Holston, where he devoted his time to its improvement. Before -p.267 Confederate Veteran June 1903-Virginia had seceded and severed her connection with the Federal government, he had organized a cavalry company composed of the bravest and best material that the mountainous region afforded. The men were mostly in their teens and were enthused with the spirit of their leader. He was elected captain, and in honor of his old command he named his company "The Washington Mounted Rifles." After reporting for duty at Richmond and spending a few weeks at the Cavalry Camp of Instruction at Ashland, the company was ordered to the Valley of Virginia, and as Company L was attached to the First Virginia Cavalry, then in command of Col. J. E. B. Stuart. Here the company remained until the first battle of Manassas, arriving there on the night of July 19, and taking part in that heroic struggle. In September Capt. Jones was promoted to colonel of the First Regiment, with Fitzhugh Lee as lieutenant colonel. This position he held until the reorganization in April, 1862. In July following he was appointed colonel, Seventh Virginia Cavalry, Ashby's old regiment. In September, 1862, for gallant service at Orangeburg C. H., Va., he was promoted to brigadier general, and a brigade of cavalry was organized to cooperate with Stonewall Jackson in the Valley of Virginia. Soon after this Jackson's forces were withdrawn to reenforce Gen. Lee at Fredericksburg, and Gen. Jones was left in command of the Valley Department, where he remained through the fall and winter. His time was devoted to drilling his men, who were made of excellent material, but for the most part undisciplined. By the opening of spring these men came forth a well organized, well drilled, and well equipped brigade. Gen. Jones had several brilliant skirmishes with the enemy during this period, and early in the spring made a successful raid into West Virginia. He was on this expedition thirty two consecutive days and nights. He destroyed oil wells and machinery and 150,000 barrels of oil, besides other valuable property of the enemy. All this was accomplished with small loss to his command. He returned by way of Lewisburg, and was soon ordered to join Gen. Stuart at Culpepper C. H., Va. Shortly after his arrival the great cavalry battle of Brandy Station was fought, where Gen. Jones, by his eternal vigilance, rendered the service that saved the day. The defeat of the whole cavalry corps was effected, and the loss of the battery of artillery, composed of sixteen pieces. I am informed by an eyewitness that at the time of the attack all the cavalry and artillery horses were loose and quietly grazing on the grass of that favored region, and the men were lying around perfectly unconscious of the impending onslaught of Sheridan's myriads of blue horsemen. Gen. Jones took the precaution to allow only half of his men to graze their horses at a time, and consequently had half of his men ready for immediate action, and rushed them into the fray and completely checked the serried ranks and gave time for the artillerymen to secure their horses and prepare for action. He served with the Army of Northern Virginia until September of that year, and, owing to a disagreement between Gen. Stuart and himself, he was relieved of his command at his own request. Soon after this, in October, 1863, he was assigned to the command of the Department of Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee, and in a short time he reorganized and disciplined the men in this department, and soon won some brilliant victories over the enemy. Early in November he surprised and captured a force of some fifteen hundred of the enemy near Rogersville, Tenn, including all their wagons, ambulances, and equipments. He was with Longstreet at the siege of Knoxville, Tenn., and after the retreat from that place he surprised and captured Maj. Beers, with his whole force of some six hundred men, four pieces of artillery, and their wagon trains and equipments, at Jonesville, Va. This was in January, 1864. He wintered his command in this section, and early in the spring Gen. Cook, with a considerable force, came through Tazewell County and on to Wythe County to destroy the Virginia and Tennessee railroad and lead mines. Here Gens. Morgan and Jones united their commands and gave him battle at Cloyd's Mountain, in Pulaski County, The Confederates were rather worsted in the battle by being vastly outnumbered, but the Federals were thwarted in their main design. After damaging the railroad to some extent, Gen. Jones hastily retreated to West Virginia about the 1st of June. Gen, Hunter was on his celebrated burning and destroying expedition up the Valley of Virginia. Gen, Jones was ordered to hasten to that quarter and intercept him. He immediately embarked his small infantry force on the train and hastened to Staunton, Va., at which place he arrived late at night on June 4. He immediately marched down the Valley to Mount Crawford, and then across the country to Mount Hope or Piedmont, where he barely had time to form his lines when he was attacked by the advance of Hunter's army. The battle was fierce and hotly contested. At the critical moment, when victory seemed to shine on the Southern banner, Gen. Jones, from his place of observation, saw the confusion in the rear of the Federal army, their baggage, wagons, ambulances, etc., moving off down the valley. He exclaimed to his adjutant general and Gen. Imboden: "Now, if I had my cavalry to complete the victory!" Saying this, he rushed off at full speed into the hottest of the fray to encourage his men to greater exertion. He had scarcely arrived at his line of battle when he was pierced by a bullet and fell from his horse dead. All was soon confusion and riot. The heroic leader had fallen, and the men became panic stricken and fled from the field in confusion. So ended the life and services of as brave and noble hearted a man as Southwest Virginia ever produced. His remains sleep quietly by the side of his wife at Old Glade Spring Presbyterian Church. Per FAG:Picture/Tstone- Civil War Confederate Brigadier General. He was born in Washington County, Virginia, and attended Emory and Henry College before entering West Point. Graduating 10th in the class of 1848, he served on the frontier until 1857, when he resigned his commission to manage his Virginia estate. During a furlough in 1852, he married, but, while en route to his command, his bride died in a shipwreck off the Texas coast. He was never the same. He became eccentric, cantankerous, developing a razor sharp tongue, and caring little for pretense and appearance. When Virginia seceded, he was elected Captain of the Washington Mounted Rifles, which he organized. He fought at First Bull Run under J.E.B. Stuart, and the feud between the two began. He briefly served as Colonel of the 1st Virginia before assuming command of the 7th Virginia in March 1862. His solid performances at Cedar Mountain, Second Bull Run, and Antietam earned him promotion to Brigadier General on September 19. With Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's recommendation, who placed unwavering trust in him, but without Stuart's, who due to the feud couldn't abide him, he received the Laurel Brigade, a tough, veteran unit. In December he was given command of the Valley District, this was due in part to Robert E. Lee's high regard for him. In April and May of 1863, he undertook a spectacular raid into western Virginia. Penetrating nearly to the Ohio River, he inflicted heavy Union casualties while losing only a dozen men in a raid nearly unparalleled in Confederate history. Over his objections and Stuart's, he served under his old antagonist in the Gettysburg Campaign. At Brandy Station, his brigade bore the brunt of the fighting, suffering the most casualties. The animosity between the two men festered until September, when he, either verbally or in writing, abused Stuart. The corps commander ordered court martial proceedings, and on October 9 he was found guilty and transferred to the Department of Western Virginia. Thus making him one of the few general officers court martialed from its ranks. In his new assignment he once again performed brilliantly, constantly raiding into East Tennessee and blocking a Union thrust at Saltville. On June 5, 1864, at an engagement at Piedmont, while rallying his men, he died instantly with a bullet through his forehead. He was buried on the field by Federals, and his remains were reinterred after the war. (bio by: Ugaalltheway) Jordan, E. F.-Text:vol.20,1912- At Meridian, Tex., in February, 1912, the remains of E.

He served throughout the entire war as a member of Company K, 10th Mississippi Infantry. He went to Texas in 1884, and became a resident of Rockdale in 1887. He had been a member of the Sam Davis Camp, U. C. V., from its organization. He was a good citizen and liked by all who knew him.

At the age of seventeen he enlisted in the Confederate Army, first joining the 12th Tenn.Regt., and he was in that “first battle” at Belmont, Mo. After the battle of Shiloh his company was placed with the 3rd Kentucky. In 1864 it was mounted and assigned to Gen.Forrest. He was in active and hard service for four years, and was believed to be fatally wounded in the battle near Franklin. He was carried to the McLemore home, where he was nursed back to life. Miss McLemore made him her special charge, and to her unremitting attentions was due his ultimate recovery. The friendship thus cemented was dissolved only by death, and the younger generations of both families still cherish it. Mr.T.M.

His mother died in his infancy, and his father departing this life a few years afterwards, his education was left to his faithful guardians at Rockville. He studied law at Harvard University. From his youth he exhibited those talents which marked him throughout a long career as an orator of unusual ability. While still very young he was elected to the Reform Convention to make a new Constitution for the State of Maryland. A few years later he removed to Frederick City, and was engaged in the practice of his profession during the years preceding the Civil War. His sentiments were with the South, and all the gifts of his brilliant intellect were devoted to her service. His eloquence was exerted and its influence felt in arousing the enthusiasm and sending to the front those thousands of brave young Marylanders who gave their service to the Confederacy. John Kilgour was enrolled among the defenders of his beloved Southland with the commission of major and served under Col. Elijah B. White, commanding the 35th Battalion of Virginia Volunteers. The historian of that noted command refers to his never failing effort to arouse the boys, and those who survive him and who were with him then tenderly revere the memory of their comradeship with him. An instance of his extraordinary power as an orator is related in connection with his service during the war. A Virginia division had been selected to make a desperate attack upon the enemy, and Major Kilgour was asked to address them. Under the influence of his eloquence they moved forward, but attained their object with fearful loss. After the fight an old mountaineer exclaimed: "If they have that Kilgour speaking to us when we go into another fight, there'll not be a man of us left." He did not return to Maryland after the war, but spent the remainder of his days in Virginia, the home of his maternal ancestors. As his voice had thrilled men to deeds of heroism, he continued in the period that followed the war to cry: "Courage! we have not yet ended our fight." Through such spirits the South was able to rise triumphant out of the gloom and depression that settled over desolated homes and hearts after the conflict of four years had ended.

F., a gallant Confederate soldier, of Kemper County, Miss., is resting from all the cares of life. Death came to him suddenly on October 23, 1915. He was born in Kemper County March 12, 1845, and enlisted in the Confederate army when eighteen years old as a member of Company C, 2d Mississippi Regiment, serving under Captain Rogers in Armstrong's Brigade, Forrest's Cavalry. He was with Johnston from Resaca to Atlanta and with Hood from Atlanta to Jonesboro, to Nashville, and then by way of Columbus, Miss., to Selma, Ala., where he was in his last battle. In all the trying ordeals of that arduous service he never failed to answer roll call or to perform faithfully any duty assigned to him. He was a devoted member of the Baptist Church and a Democrat of the old school; but it was in his home and community that his life shone brightest. He was a kind husband and devoted father, an example for any one to follow. As a citizen he was modest and retiring: a safe counselor for those who came to him for advice. He was as loyal to friends as he was to principles. He was twice married and is survived by his second wife, with her two daughters, Misses Alma Kate and Eileen King, and son, Lamar King, all of Battlefield, Miss., and by the children of his first marriage, who are: R. C. King, of Greenwood, Miss.; M. D. King, of Hattiesburg, Miss.; Mrs. Maggie Hester, of Lytle, Tex.; and Miss Vestry King, of Greenwood, Miss. A brother and sister, of Burley, Miss., also survive him. He was tenderly laid to rest near his old home in Zion Cemetery, Kemper County, surrounded by many sorrowing friends and relatives. Confederate Veteran:v.24,p.174 to 178 King, Charles Hayes, Lieut.-Text: Charles Hayes King, fourth son of Col. James M. and Martha Batey King, was born October 8, 1835, near Murfreesboro, Tenn., where he resided throughout his entire life. His death occurred on July 1, 1910. The war record of Charles H. King deserves more than passing mention as a type of that heroic spirit which placed no limits on the sacrifice for principle. He cast his lot with the people of a kindred faith and wrought with undaunted devotion to the end of his dying day. At the age of twenty six he enlisted in the State service at Nashville, Tenn., as lieutenant. On the first Monday in April, 1861, Company I, 1st Tennessee Infantry, that became famous in the Confederacy, was organized at Murfreesboro with the following officers: Captain, Wm. Ledbetter, Lieutenants, Hardy Murfree, Fred James, and Charles H. King. While serving in the State militia this company was stationed in East Tennessee. Soon, however, the State seceded and the regiment was sworn into the Confederate service and sent to Northwestern Virginia under command of Colonel Maney, Anderson's Brigade, where it fought in the battles of Cheat Mountain, Bath, Sewell Mountain, Brady's Gate, Romney, Va., and at Hancock, Md. The regiment returned through East Tennessee and went to Corinth, Miss., reaching there just in time for the battle of Shiloh, April 6, 1862. After this battle they dropped back to Tupelo, Miss., where, owing to many casualties, the company and regiment were organized. Charles King was again offered a lieutenancy and also a colonelcy in another regiment, but he declined both, preferring to fight in the ranks of the 1st Tennessee Regiment. As evidence of his bravery, he was chosen for very hazardous undertakings. On one occasion, during the battle of Murfreesboro, he was selected with nine others to penetrate the Federal lines from different points and bring to headquarters desired information. The ten men thus chosen were Jim Anderson, Billy and Jim Beasley, Alt McClean, Kurg House, Tobe James, Charles H. King, Ike Nance, Fount Neal, and Robert Rucker. All prepared to go, expecting never to return, but just on the eve of starting the necessity for the undertaking-p.131 Confederate Veteran March 1911-was removed and the order countermanded. Unflinching and fearless, Charles King was ever at the post of duty. He was conspicuous in the battle of Perryville, October 8, 1862, and was wounded in the left forearm. The command returned to Tullahoma, Tennä and advanced on Shelbyville and thence to Murfreesboro, and Comrade King was in line of battle at Murfreesboro (Stone's River) December 30 and 31, 1862, and January l, 1863. They retreated to Shelbyville, and while the regiment was there on provost duty, near the close of 1863, he was detached and transferred to the signal corps of the Western Army, Captain Otey commanding. In this capacity he served until the end of the war, and surrendered at Greensboro, N. C., April 30, 1865. At the close of the war, impoverished but not dispirited, Charles King returned to his home and engaged in farming as soon as he could gain possession of his land, which had been confiscated and was held by the government for two years after the close of hostilities, and this occupation he followed until his death. He cherished to the end his prized relics and vivid memories of that heroic struggle in which grim glory waved her crimson wand above the land of Lee. He was married July 18, 1866, to Miss Anne Wood, and of this union nine children were born, as follows: Dr. James M., Jeannette M. Mrs. Mary King Floyd, George W., Patti Batey, Charles H. Jr. (deceased), Anna M. Dr. Joseph E. [named for General Johnston], and Sparks Richardson King.

Dec 10 (Special) Colonel H. Clay King, who has been the central figure within the walls of the State prison for eleven years, is dead. He passed quietly away at 10 o'clock this morning. His end was as peaceful as his life had been stormy. For the past three months Colonel King has been sick. Then days ago his condition became critical and his death has been expected daily since. Last night Drs. R.E.Fort an J.D. Witherspoon were called in by Dr. Black who had been attending him. So far advanced was the cancer in the stomach that they decided an operation would be futile. So he was allowed to die without the pain that would have been caused. Up to his death King was conscious. To the last he retained his clearness of mind. He said last night to his family grouped around him: "I die in peace. I am perfectly resigned and have no fear for the future." He has been a staunch member of the Catholic Church for thirty years. Around Colonel King when he died were his three unmarried daughters, Misses Ida, Mary and Fannie King. His wife had been with him for a month. His son, Haughton King, was here a few days ago, but was forced to leave Saturday. His son-in-law G.W. Brooks of St. Louis was also here a few days ago in an effort to secure his pardon. The officials of the prison have treated King with consideration all the while he has been imprisoned. For two years he has done no work, but spent his time reading, considerably in French. He kept abreast of the times and retained to the last his brilliancy of converation and culture of bearing that had always marked him. He was 73 years old.

He went to Texas on the same boat that carried the news of its annexation in 1845. He was married in 1860 to Miss Anna Moore, of Alabama, who survived him with their three sons, and four daughters. His career is closely tied with Texas and its history. He was one of the four Democrats in the Lower House of the Twelth Texas Legislature, and in that trying time for his State, he stood valiantly at his post. In 1902 he was again a representative in the body with which he had severed his relations sixteen sessions before, and there was no better known or more faithful member. He was returned again to the Twenty Ninth Legislature, and distinguished himself for the interest with which he performed his duties. When the war broke out, Fegus Kyle and four brothers enlisted for the Confederacy, and were among the few privileged to belong to the famous Terry Texas Rangers, and served with distinction throughout the struggle. Captain Kyle always took great interest in the military affairs of his State, and never missed an opportunity to attend the reunion of his old command. As a member of the Legislature he was instrumental in securing appropriations for and improving the State Ranger service. He was always interested in local affairs, and the people of his county were especially proud of his distinction throughout the State.

Born in Oct.1844, Comrade La Mance was but a boy when his father marched away in the Confederate army. He remained to guard his mother and the little brothers and sisters. In a raid of Jayhawkers, he was seized and inhumanly hanged to a post in front of his father’s store. The rope was about his neck, when his mother rushed to his side and made an impassioned plea for his life. “Your house has been set on fire,” was the response. “Go and Save it. You can do nothing here.” Indignantly she answered: “My house may burn, but my boy shall live, and you shall let him live.!” Touched by the courage of this speech, the captain released her son from the rope and ordered the fire put out. Marcus was taken prisoner, but two days later escaped, going at once into the Confederate army, where he served two years in the Missouri infantry.

When the war was over, like all true soldiers, he accepted the result and went to work. He ever delighted to recount the brave deeds and heroic devotion of his fellow soldiers on fields of gory strife. For many years he diligently collected and preserved war history that he regarded as valuable in its bearing upon that deadly strife. For twenty years he had searched for the old flag that he carried, which was captured in battle, and to this end had carried on an extensive correspondence with Union veterans in the vain attempt to find it among the captured Confederate flags. Comrade Ledbetter always met his old comrades at their annual Reunions until three years ago, when his health declined. This deprivation brought him the keenest disappointment and sorrow, which followed him to his death. [From sketch by M. T.

His father’s name was Richard Henry Lee, better known as “Light Horse Harry.” When Robert was a boy he was kind, thoughtful and truthful. His teacher said that he was a pleasure to teach him because he behaved so well. Every day after school he would com home, hitch the horses to the buggy, arrange the cushions, put his mother tenderly in and take her for a ride.

He received his education at the West Point Military School, He graduated in the year 1829 without receiving a single reprimand and standing second in a class of forty-six, when he was put on the engineer corps and sent to Florida to build forte. At the beginning of the Mexican War he was assigned to duty as chief engineer of the army under Gen.Wool, as Captain. His abilities as an engineer and his conduct as a soldier won the special recognition of Gen.Scott, who attributed the fall of Vera Cruz to his skill. When the civil war broke out he was asked to command the United States Army, but he said that he owed his first duty to his State. He wrote to the governor of Virginia and told him that he was at his service. He was then placed in command of the Army of Virginia, and was afterwards made commander in chief of the Confederate Army. He fought bravely for four years, but at last was forced to surrender his army of eight thousand men to one hundred and fifty thousand. He surrendered at Appomattox Court House, on Apr.9,1865. He died at Lexington, Virginia, Oct.12,1870, after a useful life and a brave career, leaving a legacy of the grandest figure in modern history. Confederate Veteran:v.3, p.37. Lee, William Joseph, Dr.-Text:Vol.18,1910-Dr. William Joseph Lee was born October 27, 1838, in Chambers County, Ala., and died January 13, 1910, at Abbeville, Ala. His ancestors were of the Lees of Virginia. Charles S. Lee, his father, was a native of Greene County, Ga., and became a citizen of Alabama in 1834. He served with the rank of captain in the Indian War of 1836, and during the Civil War effectively aided the cause. Dr. W. J. Lee was one of five brothers, all of whom were commissioned officers in the Confederate service. Moses J. Lee was a captain of cavalry, Charles S. Lee, Jr., was also a captain of cavalry in the 1st Alabama Regiment, and after reorganization he commanded a company of the 6th Alabama Cavalry. After the war he represented Escambia County in the Senate of Alabama. John H. Lee entered the service as a private in the 6th Alabama Cavalry, and was promoted to a lieutenantcy, Edward David Lee enlisted as a private in Company K, of the 33d Alabama Infantry, commanded by his brother, Dr. W. J. Lee, and a year later was commissioned lieutenant. After his brother was wounded and captured at Franklin, Tenn., he had command of the company until the surrender at Greensboro, N. C. In the fall of 1861 W. J. Lee organized a company in Coffee County, of which he was elected captain. It was made Company K, 33d Alabama Infantry, Lowrey's Brigade, Cleburne's Division, Hardee's Corps, Army of Tennessee. He commanded his company during the siege of Corinth and through the Kentucky and Chickamauga campaigns. During the Atlanta and Nashville campaigns he was the acting major of his regiment, and participated in the battles of Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Ringgold, Resaca, New Hope Church, Kennesaw Mountain, Atlanta, Jonesboro, and in the Tennessee Campaign at Franklin, where he fell with severe wounds in the right elbow and left leg. When the army retreated from Nashville, he was captured, and three months later he was sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, where he was confined until after the close of hostilities. He was a brave, heroic spirit. Dr. Lee had graduated with distinction in the Medical Department of Tulane University, New Orleans, La., in 1860, and the next year from the University of Nashville, and began the practice of his profession in Coffee County, but soon the call of his country for military service interrupted his professional career. After the flag of the Confederacy was furled, he resumed the practice of medicine in Coffee County, Ala., where he labored with marked success until 1882. He then located in Abbeville and entered upon his most efficient labors. Having won the plaudits of his fellow men for his ability and constancy in their service, he retired from the profession in 1896, rich in the esteem of his people. Dr. Lee served for years as the Commander of Abbeville Camp, U. C. V. At the time of his death he was Vice President of the First National Bank, a member of Henry Lodge A. F. and A. Mä and a member of the Abbeville Baptist Church. Dr. Lee married Miss Emma Ada Haughton, of Union Springs, Ala., October 8, 1861, at Elba, Ala. She died in 1874. In 1876 he married Mrs. Mollie E. Price, of Abbeville, Ala., the daughter of Rev. Alexander L. Martin and the sister of Rev. W. J. Martin, of Abbeville, and Hon. Harry Martin, of Ozark. He is survived by two brothers, eldest and youngest of his family, and by two sisters. One sister is the wife of Capt. J. E. P. Flournoy, of Elba, who served with distinction as a captain in the 8th Alabama Cavalry, and the other is the wife of Hon. P. D. Costello, who before the war served as Probate Judge of Coffee County and was a captain in the Confederate army, acting major of his battalion at Shiloh and as lieutenant colonel of the 25th Alabama Regiment at Murfreesboro.

Four years of his life were given to the Confederate artillery service. His efficiency in that service, as in all else, is confirmed in the fact that he was chosen the private secretary of Gen.Robert E.Lee while President of the Washington (now the Washington & Lee) University. This intimate relationship enabled him to know Gen.Lee better than most men, and it is needless to say that, contrary to rule, the more closely observed the greater he was. Whne Gen. Lee died, Mr.Leech came to Nashville, and was made bursar of the Vanderbilt University. Afterwards he engaged in the business of the business department of the Methodist Publishing House, where he was continuously employed until his death, about sixteen years.

Through his long life his career was one of distinction. As a soldier, statesman, and jurist he will rank as on of the foremost sons of Kentucky in his day. Confederate Veteran:v.12, p.404-Per Find A Grave by Kevin Guy: Civil War Confederate Brigadier General, U.S. Congressman, Judge. A native of Glasgow, Kentucky, he graduated from Centre College in 1843. He completed his law studies, was admitted to the bar in 1845, and practiced as an attorney in Glasgow. He became a member of the Kentucky legislature from 1850 to 1855 and was an unsuccessful candidate for election to the United States Congress in 1857 and 1861. After the Civil War began, and Kentucky was no longer a neutral state, Lewis supported the Confederacy and established a camp near Cave City, Kentucky to recruit and train volunteers for the army. The recruits were combined with Martin H. Cofer's camp to form the 6th Kentucky Infantry in September, 1861. Lewis was elected as Colonel to command the regiment. The regiment participated in major engagements at the Battles of Shiloh, Murfreesboro, and Chickamauga. He was promoted to Brigadier General in September, 1863 and assigned to command the 1st and 2nd Brigades in General Bates' Division. Lewis commanded the "Orphan Brigade" (as they came to be known) at Missionary Ridge and during the Atlanta Campaign. The brigade was comprised of five Kentucky infantry regiments and two artillery batteries. Two of Lewis' sons, Jack and Asa, were also members of the brigade. Asa was eventually executed for desertion by General Braxton Bragg when he went home to plant the spring crop against orders. After the war, Lewis returned to Glasgow and resumed his law profession. He became a member of the Kentucky legislature again in 1869 and 1870. On May 10, 1870, he was elected as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Jacob S. Golladay. Representing Kentucky's 3rd Congressional District, he was reelected in 1870 and was not a candidate for reelection in 1872. He resumed his law practice until he became a Kentucky Circuit Court Judge in 1880. He was appointed to the Kentucky Court of Appeals in 1882 until he resigned and retired in 1899. He was the Chief Justice of the Court in 1882, 1887, and 1897. He purchased a farm in Scott County, Kentucky near Georgetown where he spent the remaining years of his life.

At the beginning of the war he entered the service of the Confederacy as a member of the Black Horse Troop, Company H, 4th Virginia Cavalry, and served with conspicuous gallantry until that eventful day at Appomattox. When the Black Horse Camp was organized, soon after the war, he was elected Commander, serving as such for several years. At the time of his death he was Lieutenant Commander of the Joe Kendall Camp, one of the largest Camps in Virginia, In the organization and advancement of these Camps he manifested great interest. As a citizen he was beloved by all who knew him. He represented the two counties of Fauquier and Loudoun with ability for several terms in the Virginia Legislature. Linthicum, Charles Frederick, Captain-Text: Capt. Charles Frederick Linthicum was born December 17, 1838, in Urbana District, Frederick County, Md., just south of Mason and Dixon's line, his parents being John Hamilton Smith and Julia Ann (Garrott) Linthicum. The name is of Welsh origin, the first spelling of it showing the double "l." The name in America, however, is traced back into the twilight of colonial times. His early education was had in the public schools of his State, in which he afterwards taught. In 1860 he was ordained a minister and sent by his bishop to Loudoun County, Va., and, coming of a stanch Southern family, was ripe for service at the first call to duty in his adopted State. Gen. Eppa Hunton in a recent letter tells how he first had his attention drawn to this young man, whom he found in the ranks of his regiment, the "Bloody Eighth" (the Eighth Virginia). The incident occurred as they were about to make an important charge, when he asked permission of him to pray with his company. The prayer so impressed his officer that he lost no time in procuring for him a commission as chaplain of the regiment. He was ever afterwards known as the "fighting chaplain," for whenever and wherever fighting was going on he was found with his knapsack and musket in the front ranks. In 1862 he yielded to the appeals of his gallant officer, Gen. Hunton, who had temporarily taken the place of Gen. Pickett, the latter having been severely wounded at Gaines's Mill, to become his adjutant general. He was persuaded that in this capacity he could render more efficient service to the cause which he had so much at heart, while he also was modest enough to believe that his contemplated successor, Chaplain Ware, could do greater good in that calling. These were the reasons he gave for relinquishing his duties as chaplain and becoming a staff officer. He continued to the last, however, to feel that the ministry was his special calling, to which he frequently makes mention in his diary, and to which calling he intended to return when the strife was ended. As adjutant general he served on the staff of Col. C. S. Peyton and on that of Gen. Richard B. Garnett. He was with the latter at Gettysburg, where he and his entire staff fell except Linthicum, and he only escaped after losing two horses and receiving a slight wound in the head. On the fall of Gen. Garnett Gen. Hunton became permanent brigade commander, from which date that close confidence and bosom companionship which should exist between a general and his adjutant bound their hearts together. Capt. Linthicum is described as a man of wonderful endurance, of superb judgment, cool headed, and a fearless fighter. He fell at Second Cold Harbor June 3, 1864, while bearing a message, which he had insisted no one else but himself should take, from Gen. Hunton to the general commanding on their right. He is buried in Hollywood, at Richmond. An extended sketch of his life can be found in the "Confederate Military History," Vol. VIII., page 579, edited by Gen. Clement A. Evans, also in the "Portrait and Biographical Record of the Sixth Congressional District of Maryland," page 601. (Chapman Publishing Company, of New York.) A brother, John Warren Linthicum, survives, who fought throughout the war with Gen. John S. Mosby. His father was for a time a prisoner of state and confined in the old capitol at Washington by order of Secretary Seward. Capt. Linthicum's nephew, bearing his full name, who is also a Marylander, but removed to Nashville in 1892, prides himself in the possession of his uncle's diary covering the period from May, 1863 to March, 1864. It contains many rare and valuable reminiscences. –p.132, 133 Confederate Veteran March 1900. Died at Cold Harbor, Va. Lipscomb, William E., Judge-Text: Vol.19,1911-After an illness of two weeks, Judge William E. Lipscomb, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Prince William County, Va., died at his home in Manassas, May, 1911. He was born in Brentsville, Va., in 1833. He was educated at home, and at the age of fifteen entered the County Clerk's office, where, while pursuing his duties as Deputy Clerk, he studied and gained a practical knowledge of the law. In his ambition he was aided by the leading attorneys of the county and State who had cases in the Prince William County Court, and at the outbreak of the war William Lipscomb was in full charge of both the County and Circuit Court offices. In the spring of 1861 he enlisted as a private in Company F, 49th Virginia Infantry, and was soon promoted to first lieutenant of the company. In 1862 he resigned from the service and resumed his official duties in the County Clerk's office until 1863, when he reenlisted as a private in Company H, 15th Virginia Cavalry, and served in the Army of Northern Virginia until his capture, in 1864. His prison life was in Fort Delaware, where he suffered many hardships and indignities from tyrannical prison officials. After this trying experience, and at the close of the war, he returned to his home and, until 1870, busied himself in agricultural pursuits. He then reentered the Clerk's office and served until 1876, when he removed to Manassas and engaged in law and the publication of the Manassas Gazette. He also conducted a mercantile business successfully. Having been admitted to the Prince William bar in 1870, he was in 1884 elected by the legislature as judge of the County Court, which he held by successive elections until the County court system was abolished in 1904. He was then appointed Deputy Clerk of the Court under Capt. Edwin Nelson, on the death of whom he was appointed to fill out the unexpired term. He had been appointed one of the Commissioners in Chancery for the Circuit Court in 1869, and the confidence of the bench and bar in him was such that nearly all the Chancery causes were referred to him. His reputation as an able and fearless jurist during his long service on the bench is well known throughout his county and State. For some time prior to his death he was Bail Commissioner. He served two terms as Mayor of Manassas and several successive terms as Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Town Council. Judge Lipscomb was the last county official who served in ante bellum days. As a man of great judicial ability and legal training he was capable of directing affairs wisely and well, and many times questions of importance were submitted to him on account of the confidence felt in his ability and his integrity. In September, 1859, Judge Lipscomb was married to Miss Henrietta Holland, and to them were born three sons and two daughters. He became a member of the Memorial Association of Manassas in its early history, 1875, and gave much of his time to the success of the work. His wife was the faithful and beloved President of the Association for many years.-p.441 Confederate Veteran September 1911 Littlefield, J.

Comrade Lloyd was one of the first men to enter the Confederate service from his native county and the first man of his company to reenlist for the war. He was mustered into service at Mossy Creek (now Jefferson City), Tenn., with the "Peck Light Dragoons" May 26, 1861. This company became Company E of the 3d (Branner's) Battalion Tennessee Cavalry, and later Company I, 2d Regiment Tennessee Cavalry, Col. H. M. Ashby. Comrade Lloyd was elected and served as its first corporal from its organization until the surrender under Gen. J. E. Johnston, April 28, 1865, and was well known in the regiment as "The Corporal," on account of his long service in that position. He was frequently offered promotion, but his ambition was to be "the ranking corporal of the Confederate army," and it is probable that he was. No man in his company rendered more continuous or faithful service than Corporal Lloyd, and he escaped with only one wound, as now remembered by the writer.Returning to his home after his surrender in North Carolina, he remained there but a short time, when he emigrated to Texas, settling near Sipe Springs, where he engaged in farming as his life work. On February 26, 1876, he was happily married to Miss Emily Nugent, and of this union there were born six sons, five of whom, with their mother, survive. Years ago Corporal Lloyd publicly professed his faith in Christ Jesus and united with the Presbyterian Church, in which he served many years as a ruling elder. No truer heart ever beat in the breast of man than that of Corporal Lloyd. An obedient son, a faithful soldier, a good citizen, a loyal husband, a wise father, and a humble Christian make up the life record of Corporal Lloyd.

His bravery and daring, purity of life, and other good qualities distinguished him in war and peace, and he leaves behind him the impress of duty well done. Born in Chester, S. C., in 1834, he went with his father's family to Mississippi in 1842, and until his death proudly claimed that State as his home. He was among the first to answer the call for volunteers to defend a righteous cause, enlisting in May of 1861 in Company I, Fifteenth Mississippi Infantry, as a private. His arm was shattered by a Minie ball at Fishing Creek, and he was discharged as disabled, but after remaining at home eight months he enlisted in Ford's company, Perrin's Regiment, Ferguson's Brigade. He was elected lieutenant soon after the company entered service and promoted to captain, commanding the company till the close of the war. he was in the engagements from Dalton to Atlanta, and when Gen. Sherman started on his march to the sea, his brigade was thrown against Sherman's rear, and there was sharp fighting at close quarters. He was in the Savannah engagements also, and was paroled at Washington, Ga. Returning home, Capt. Love took up the duties of life in the same faithful spirit, winning the esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens and meriting the regret that was recorded in the loss of such a good man. He was married, in 1865, to Miss Martha Robinson, who survives him. In the resolutions adopted by Camp No. 1311, U. C. V., at Oktibbeha, Miss., after suitable preamble, the committee, Dr. J. G. Carroll and John B. Hudson, say, "Capt. Love was tried in the fiery furnace of the great war and came forth as pure gold.

General Lowry was born in Chesterfield, S. C., March 10, 1829, and when two years old his father moved to Tennessee, and seven years later to Tishomingo County, Miss. At the age of thirteen years young Lowry went to Raleigh, Miss., making his home with his uncle, Judge James Lowry.

He was wounded in the battle of Shiloh, and his regiment lost in killed and wounded three hundred and ten men out of four hundred and twenty five, winning for itself the proud soubriquet of the. "Bloody Sixth." At the reorganization of the regiment, soon after this battle, he was elected colonel, and served in that capacity until the battle of Franklin, where his brigade commander, the gallant and lamented Gen. John Adams, was killed leading his brigade of Mississippians. Then Colonel Lowry assumed command of the brigade. Colonel Lowry commanded the regiment in the battles of Second Corinth, Port Hudson, Port Gibson, Baker's Creek, Jackson, throughout the campaign in Georgia under Gen. J. E. Johnston from Resaca to Atlanta, and in movements under General Hood into Tennessee, which included the battles of Acworth, Franklin, and two days at Nashville. He commanded the brigade on retreat of the army into Mississippi, and later reported with it to General Johnston in North Carolina. He was commissioned brigadier general in February, 1865, and surrendered at Greensboro in April with the army under General Johnston. Returning to his home in Brandon, he again with Judge Mayers practiced law, until the latter was appointed circuit judge. Then he was associated in the practice with the late Senator McLaurin. During the reconstruction era he was elected to the State Senate and afterwards to the Lower House, and was of the "old guard," that everthinning and illustrious line of patriots who stood fearlessly against the encroachment of radicals and negro domination. To General Lowry perhaps more than to any other man is Mississippi indebted for her deliverance from the blight of those evil days, for he met on "the stump" the boldest of the radical leaders, and by his eloquent appeals to his people in behalf of white supremacy he aroused them from their despondency, which resulted in the overthrow of the alien and the wrecker. In 1881 he was elected Governor of the State, serving two terms, and retired from office amid the plaudits of his people, to whom he had given an able, clean administration. He again returned to his profession, opening an office at Jackson, where he soon built up a lucrative practice, and maintained it until the hand of disease fell heavily upon him. A few days before his death Governor Noel tendered him the United States senatorship, made vacant by the death of the late Senator McLaurin, but feeble health forced him to decline the honor. With the late Maj. W. H. McCardle he wrote a most excellent history of his State. To the people of Mississippi the memory of General Lowry will ever be a precious heritage. Throughout his eventful life he was devoted to the service of his State. Whether serving her on the tented field, in the halls of legislation, as her Chief Executive, or as her historian, his highest ambition was to do his full duty. His guiding hand will be missed, for he was wise in counsel and fearless in the execution of his duty. As a soldier there were none truer or braver, as a lawyer he was in the front rank of his profession, as Governor of his State his administration was able and without a blemish, as a statesman his ideals were high and his purposes noble, as a historian he had a keen perception of truth and performed services of inestimable value to his State, and as a citizen he was loved and esteemed by all who came in contact with his splendid personality, Mississippi mourns him as one of her purest and best citizens. General Lowry succeeded Gen. S. D. Lee as Commander of the Mississippi Division, and had been continuously reelected at each convention of the Division. At the age of twenty General Lowry married Miss Maria M. Gamage, of Jasper County, Miss., and had by her eleven children, seven of whom survive him (Mrs. Lowry died in 1873) to wit: Mrs. Gen. William Henry, Mrs, R. E. Wilson, of Jackson, Mrs. Leila L. Jayne, of Greenville, Mrs. Ella Lamb, of Memphis, Mrs. Mollie Batte and Mr. John Lowry, New Orleans, and Mrs. Bertie L.

Another remarkable privilege that was vouchsafed to this renowned Texas is worthy of mention. In 1824, when Gen.Lafayette visited this country, he was a passenger on a steamboat of which Gov.Lubbock’s father was owner and commander from Beaufort to Augusta. On this voyage Gen.Lafayette presented Capt.Lubbock with a gold snuffbox, which is now in possession of Mrs.Adele Lockhart Sayers, of Gonzales, and prized as a sacred memento of the great Frenchman and friend of the American people.

C., February 6, 1830 Died:Dec.31,1862 Buried:Upper Long Cane Cemetery, Abbeville, S.C.-Tstone. His father, George B. Lythgoe, came from Liverpool, England, and his mother was Nancy Randall, a native of South Carolina. He was educated at the Aiken and S. C. Military Academy. He chose civil engineering as his profession, and engaged in service with the South Carolina Railroad, then in the survey and construction of the Columbia and Greenville, and afterwards with the Blue Ridge Railroad. He married Miss Margaret Wier, and engaged in successful business with her brother at Abbeville. In 1861, responding to the call to arms, true to his training and patriotic nature, he left his young wife with three little children to serve his country as a soldier. He volunteered at Abbeville, and became a member of Capt. Joseph H. Cunningham's Company G, of the Nineteenth South Carolina Infantry Regiment. He was elected to a lieutenancy, and upon the resignation of Capt. Cunningham he was elected captain. At the organization of the regiment, near Columbia, S. C., in December, 1861, Capt. Lythgoe was elected lieutenant colonel, and M. C. Moragne was elected colonel. The health of Col. Moragne soon broke down in camp and he resigned his office, and Lieut. Col. Lythgoe became the colonel of the regiment. During the month of March, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Corinth, Miss., where it was made a part of the brigade known afterwards as (Gen. A. M.) Manigault's Brigade, and served with distinction to the end of the war with the Army of Tennessee, It was but a few weeks after the regiment reached Corinth until it was under fire for the first time at the battle of Farmington, and here Col. Lythgoe distinguished himself as a gallant soldier and capable officer. His conduct was so much admired that when, shortly after this battle, a reorganization took place this young Carolinian was almost unanimously reelected colonel of the regiment. He was a soldier, and as such he was ever present and ready for duty. In the memorable campaign of Gen. Bragg Col. Lythgoe was constantly and conspicuously present in person and with his regiment. Murfreesboro was one of the bloodiest battles of the war, and here again and for the last time Col. Lythgoe led his regiment with great skill and valor into the thickest of the fight, his brigade capturing a battery of four guns. This exploit was so daring and brilliant that the commanding general of the army by general order directed that the chief officers, Col. Lythgoe being one, should have their names inscribed upon the several pieces. The regiment went into action with two hundred and thirty men, and lost eighty two. It was here that Col. Lythgoe received a mortal wound, from which he died in a few hours. He was a talented, brave, and kind officer, as well as being a Christian gentleman, devoted father, and affectionate husband. His remains lie buried at Murfreesboro, and at his grave there were many of his command who wept as children because of their great loss. In his death South Carolina lost a noble son, and the South Carolina Military Academy an undergraduate that reflected undying honor upon his Alma Mater.-Confederate Veteran v,8, p.87 Macon, George S., Dr.-He died on the 21st of April, 1898, of congestion of the brain.

Ater the war he chose medicine as a profession. Leaving the Medical Univ.of New York in 1868, he settled in Madison Co., Ala., near Huntsville, where he followed in his profession until his last sickness. He was devoted to his work, and, with his gentle, sympathetic manner, gained the confidence of his patients. Considerate of the happiness of others, his life was made a blessing.

In concluding the sketch he says: “On the morning of July 2,1863, at two o’clock, Armistead’s Brigade took up the march to Gettysburg, marching twenty three miles, to within three miles of that place, before it was halted for a rest. Early next morning it moved toward the line of battle, and in the afternoon made the great charge which immortalized and shattered Pickett’s splendid division. Col. John Bowie Magruder fell mortally woulded within twenty steps of the enemy’s cannon, shouting: “Ther are ours!” He was struck by two shots-one in the left breast and the other under his right arm. He was captured there and taken to the hospital in Gettysburg, where he died on July 5,1863, aged twenty three years. He was taken by flag of truce to Richmond in Oct.1863, and buried at Glenmore in Albemarle County. His cousin, James Watson Magruder, himself afterwards killed on the battlefield at Meadow Bridge, May 11,1864. John Bowie Magruder is enrolled among the heroes of his alma mater, the University of Virginia, and listed with the dead on the field of battle whose courage and chivalry made the fame of the Army of Northern Virginia.

He was promoted to major in 1862, lieutenant colonel on July 31, 1862 and colonel on January 12, 1863. Col. Magruder fell mortally wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg, July 3, 1863, within twenty yards of Cushing's guns at the Angle during Pickett's Charge. As he approached the guns he yelled, "They are ours!" Magruder was then hit by a shot to the left breast and then a second bullet through the arm that entered his body and crossed the path of the first shot. As he fell he turned to his orderly and asked that his horse be taken home to his family. Magruder was found lying in the fields on July 4th, and sent to either the Second or Twelfth Corps Hospital, where he expired on July 5th. He was buried either on the Jacob Schwartz Farm or at the George Bushman Farm, along Rock Creek. Records are unclear on this matter. Col. Magruder's body was removed by the Epsilon Alpha Fraternity, of the University of Virginia, and sent home in October 1863, and reburied on his family farm, "Glenmore", seven miles from Charlottesville, Virginia.

He was married twice and is survived by his widow and eight children, who mourn their loss. He was a chivalrous, patriotic Christian gentleman of the old Virginia type, and when mounted on his war horse, Perry (who was wounded four times), was a leader worthy of any foeman's steel. When Col. A. W. Harman was wounded and captured on June 9, 1863, Massie had command of the regiment, except when he was wounded, until captured late in February, 1865. On the 6th of May in the severe Wilderness fight General Rosser ordered Colonel Massie: "Clear your front!" In this charge Colonel Massie led a portion of the regiment through the enemy's lines. They closed in his rear, but he was equal to the occasion, and dashed into the wilderness, passed around General Grant's left flank, captured some prisoners, and. reported at headquarter by midnight. At Samaria Church, on the 24th of June, 1864, in charging some. breastworks built of rails he was wounded, and it was reported that his son, I. G. Massie, sergeant major of the regiment, killed the man who was trying to shoot his father the second time. Before his wound healed he was again commanding his regiment, and on August 25 at Reams Station, when Gen. A. P. Hill defeated Hancock and drove him out of his breastworks, the 12th Virginia Cavalry was dismounted and fought side by side with the 12th Virginia Infantry, and Colonel Massie's regiment was the first to enter the place.

He enlisted with the first company from Wilkinson County under Capt. Lane Brandon, now of New Orleans, La. He was in the Army of Northern Virginia four years, and in most of the hard fought battles of the 21st Mississippi Regiment, including the three days' fight at Gettysburg and the famous charge of Pickett's Brigade. He was never sick, never had a furlough, and was never wounded during the four years. During the last two months of the war he was detailed to carry mail across the Mississippi River to Louisiana, which he did faithfully, never missing a trip and often crossing with the gunboats in sight. He was a gallant soldier, an honest man, and loyal to his friends. He was one of twelve first cousins who enlisted in the Confederate army.

Minor Meriwether, of St. Louis, formerly of Memphis, we are called on to mourn the loss of a conspicuous Confederate veteran, one who was intensely loyal to the Confederacy and to its memories. In ante helium days he was a civil engineer of high repute, and was chief engineer of General Polk's command, Army of Tennessee Department. After that he occupied other offices of honor in the service of the Confederacy and in civil life. He was most modest and retiring, but a Colossus in his profession. He was a most amiable, generous, and great hearted gentleman. Having had the pleasure of rooming with him during the occupation of Columbus, Ky., I knew him intimately, and therefore knew his splendid characteristics. He was loved by every one with whom he came in contact, and most by those who knew him best, [Brief tribute by M. R. Tunno, Savannah, Ga.]-on FAG: Lieutenant Colonel, C.S.A. Before the war, Meriwether was chief engineer of river levees in western Tennessee. He entered Confederate service in October 1861 & served on the staff of General Sterling Price in northern Mississippi & then on the staff of General John Pemberton as chief engineer & supervised the construction of several of the forts in Vicksburg. After Vicksburg's fall, he was assigned to the task of maintaining the railroads in the deep south. In 1864 Meriwether joined the staff of General Joseph E. Johnston in Georgia & then the staff of General Richard Taylor. He became a business associate of former cavalryman Nathan Bedford Forrest & was at his bedside to record the famous general's last command on October 29, 1877: "Call my wife."

Mr. Meux was a devoted son to his widowed mother and an exemplary husband and father. By his earnest efforts and sound judgment he acquired a large estate. It was a great pleasure to him to talk to friends, and especially to Confederate veterans, of the battles, marches, and other incidents of the war. He was well posted in the movements of both the Army of Virginia and the Army of Tennessee. Mr. Meux was a consistent member of the M. E. Church, South, and for years a member of the official board of his Church. He was a great advocate for the education of the young, and served at great personal inconvenience as school director of his district for a number of years, and without the fact being known to the world aided young men in their college course. By his death our State has lost one of her best citizens in every respect and the Confederate soldier a true, steadfast friend. notonfag Middlebrook, Lucius Lamar-Born:1846 Buried:Southview Cemetery, Covington, Tenn.-Picture/Tstone-Text: Hon.

Beautiful tributes are paid him by the daily press of Memphis, at the time of his demise, in which his character as a man, a citizen, a soldier, and physician was so impressively and truthfully portrayed. Dr.Mitchell died on Nov.2,1903, at his home, No.110 Adams Street, Memphis, Tenn., where he had lived for many years. He was born in Carroll Co., Tenn., on Aug.26,1831, but when quite a boy moved with his parents to Mississippi.

He was dean of the Orange County bar and president of its association, and his sojourn by the sea was in preparation for taking up an important case the following week in the Superior Court. Under religious persecution old families from Scotland, including the Montgomerys, became established in the north of Ireland, and from that country three sons came to America prior to the Revolutionary struggle and settled one each in Virginia, Carolina, and Georgia. William Montgomery, of the Carolina branch, served with distinction in the first war with England for independence. A son, A. B. Montgomery, who was born and reared in South Carolina, became an extensive planter in Arkansas and Mississippi, making his home meanwhile in Nashville, Tenn., where his family held high social position. He married Miss Davidella Flournoy, of Lexington, Ky., and they became the parents of nine children. They went to California in 1875 and settled at Santa Ana, where both died. The father was eighty two years old. Victor Montgomery was born near Nashville April 28, 1846. Until the outbreak of the Civil War, in 1861, his life passed happily, surrounded by every advantage of wealth. He was a student at the Nashville Military Academy. At the opening of the war the father and son burned their cotton, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, to prevent its falling into the hands of the enemy. This loss, with other misfortunes incident to the times, greatly reduced the family estate, but all was relinquished with a spirit of loyally to the Confederate cause. The father had promised that the son when sixteen years of age might enlist for the Confederacy, and on May 1, 1862, the youth entered a cavalry company. Later in the war he served as scout under General Forrest. He was in several severe battles, and in that of Greenville, Miss, he was taken prisoner and started North up the Mississippi River. Near the mouth of the White River he jumped from the boat into the water and got into a skiff, reaching the shore in safety. Though the undertaking was hazardous in the extreme, it was brought to a successful consummation in his return to the command. His youthful buoyancy was not checked by war's disasters, and when he returned home he matriculated in the University of Mississippi at Oxford. Upon leaving the university he took up the study of law under that famous statesman and jurist, Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, and in 1868 he was admitted to practice at the Mississippi bar. However, as his father's health failed, he returned to the family plantation in Washington County, Miss., and assumed management of it. In 1875 the Montgomery family removed to California, where this young lawyer again engaged in the practice of law, both in the Federal and California courts. In 1884, when drover Cleveland was the Democratic candidate for President, Mr. Montgomery was the Democratic candidate for State Senator, and he led the party ticket by 584 votes. He was the author of the bill for creating Orange County, and he was a prime factor in its development. As a criminal lawyer he gained widespread reputation. Judge Montgomery made a scientific study of California fruits and planted on an extensive scale. All movements for the advancement of his town and county shared his cooperation and sympathy. As a member of the Board of Education he promoted school work in Santa Ana. With his family he held membership in the Presbyterian Church of Santa Ana, in which he served as trustee. Fraternally he was associated with the Ancient Order of United Workmen. His wife was formerly Miss Charlie Louise Tarver, of Washing County, Tex, but from girlhood was a resident of California.

Wellborn Mooney, son of William S. Mooney and Emily Kincheloe, was born in Fauquier County, Va., near Manassas, December 23, 1829. In early childhood he went with his parents from Virginia to Alabama, and from there to Tennessee, in which State most of his long and useful life was spent. In the fall of 1849 he joined the Tennessee Conference, in session at Shelbyville. Tenn., and for thirty years he served in that body on circuits, at stations, and as presiding elder. He was twice a delegate to the General Conference, and was for three years in the St. Louis Conference as pastor at Cape Girardeau and at Washington. The last seventeen years of his life he was a highly honored and much loved member of the Memphis Conference, making his home at Dresden, Tenn., where for years his wife was engaged in educational work. Here the conflict ceased, and he laid his armor by. He was widely and well known in Church and State, and made a fine record, as hundreds of testimonials evidence, in the Confederate service. Rev. W. Mooney's work as missionary chaplain in the Army of Tennessee under the department of Bishop Pierce is that which deserves special prominence herein. The fall of Fort Donelson found him pastor of the Methodist Church in Pulaski, Tenn, To this place the Nashville hospitals were removed, to Giles College, on historic East Hill, where Sam Davis was executed. It was hastily fitted to receive our sick soldiers. To these Mr. Mooney ministered daily until the order was given for the removal of the hospitals farther South. The tide of invasion soon followed, with all the ills incident thereto. The State was under military law, and sympathizers with the South were compelled to take the "ironclad oath" or leave on short notice. Arrests were the order of the day, including representative citizens of the pulpit, the bar, and other departments of business. Twelve were arrested in Pulaski and ordered South under military escort by Major Munday. They were landed across the Tennessee River. Mr. Mooney, Drs. Sumpter and Abernathy, and Booker Shapard, an aged citizen, were among those thus summarily sent from Pulaski, going they knew not whither. Bishop Andrew, learning of the situation, appointed Mr. Mooney to the Marion Station, Alabama Conference, for the remainder of that Conference year. Meantime the Tennessee Conference had met in October at Cornersville, Tenn., Dr. J. B. McFerrin presiding in the absence of a bishop, and Mr. Mooney was appointed to the Athens Station. Word reached him about the time of the meeting of the Alabama Conference, and he went at once to his work at Athens, where he remained till the threatened in vestment of the town by the Federals. He again crossed the Tennessee River and was appointed missionary chaplain to the Army of Tennessee, and there he labored in camp, in hospital, along the march till the end, when he returned to his chosen calling, the work of an itinerant Methodist preacher. He was Clerk, or Secretary, of the Confederate Chaplains' Association of the Army of Tennessee, and Mrs. Mooney prizes beyond price the minutes with the names of heroes who wore the gray, most of whom have answered to the last roll. From survivors she has had many assurances of the affectionate regard in which they hold her husband for his work as missionary chaplain in that army. One of these letters from "one of the Mississippi boys," believing that it will be read with interest by all comrades, is given to the VETERAN : Mrs. Sue F. Mooney, Dresden, Tenn.: I have read with keen interest many times mention of your husband and his work, and often thought of writing to him, and would most assuredly have done so but for the reason that I thought he would scarcely have any recollection of me, and the other thought that many more competent would write thanking him for his arduous labors and faithful work as missionary chaplain in the Army of Tennessee. I belonged to the 32d and 45th Mississippi Regiments, consolidated, under Brig. Gen. M. P. Lowrey, who was himself a minister of the Baptist denomination, and was also greatly admired by us boys for his sterling qualities. Brother Mooney used to associate himself with General Lowrey, and we saw much of him on the march. He would often walk that he might let a sick or barefooted man ride his horse. Often when we would halt only for a short time he would gather the boys and hold service. I remember several of his texts 1 Timothy 1. 15, 1 Corinthians xvi. 13especially for impressions made on my heart. He used to preach for Granbury's Brigade (Texans).

Confederate Veteran:v.9, p.512-notonfag Mumford, Francis Marion, Dr.-Text:Vol.19,1911-Francis Marion Mumford, born at Bayou Sara, La., October 1, 1842, was the son of Robinson M. Mumford and Amelia Phillips, of good old North Carolina and Pennsylvania stock. The father went from Fayetteville, N. C., to Louisiana, and there amassed considerable wealth, and young Mumford was reared amid comfortable and refined surroundings. He was educated in private schools and at Centenary College, Jackson. His health prevented an early enlistment in the war, but in 1862 he joined Company C, 1st Louisiana Cavalry, under Colonel Scott. He and his three brothers were gallant soldiers of the Confederacy. The spirit and daring of his great namesake must have inspired young Frank Mumford, for the records tell of his exploits concerning the gunboat Surnter. This boat had been captured from the Confederates at Island No. 10, and in trying to land at Bayou Sara it was run on a bar in front of the town, and the falling river made her careen so that her fore and aft guns, 32 pounders, were rendered useless. Lieutenant Mumford was in command of a company of Louisiana State troops at Bayou Sara, and he determined to capture the boat if possible. He sent a courier to Port Hudson asking for forces to assist in the attack. During the night the transport Ceres arrived and made several unsuccessful efforts to pull the Sumter off the bar, then went back down the river. After waiting in vain for the expected help from Port Hudson, Lieutenant Mumford determined to try it with his own force. He went to the river under a flag of truce, expecting to demand a surrender, but he found the boat abandoned, the officers and crew having been taken off by the Ceres. Some negroes who went on board had probably given the commander exaggerated accounts of the Confederate strength at this point which induced the abandonment of the boat. Lieutenant Mumford went aboard with his men and began moving everything from the boat that could be handled. Shortly after daylight Gunboat No. 7 came in sight, and the men were ordered ashore, the Lieutenant only remaining on board to see that the boat was well on fire and beyond help from the oncoming boat. The captured stores were delivered to General Ruggles at Port Hudson, and the two guns (secured later) were the first guns mounted at the fort. Young Mumford was highly complimented for the daring and success of this -p.445 Confederate Veteran September 1911-exploit. At the close of the war he was lieutenant and ordnance officer of Scott's 1st Louisiana Cavalry Brigade on the staff of Fred Ogden. The brigade was attached to Forrest's Cavalry and surrendered at Gainesville, Ala. Returning to civil life, Comrade Mumfbrd took up its duties with the same zeal that had characterized his soldier life. He studied pharmacy, and later took a degree in medicine at the University of Louisiana, New Orleans, but his health never permitted an extensive practice, and he confined himself finally to the care of a large drug store. He married Miss Alice Haile, who survives. Their only child died in infancy. Dr. Mumford was always interested in public affairs, and served his town, Bayou Sara, both as Mayor and Postmaster. He moved to St. Francisville in 1894, and was ever a force for good in the town. His greatest interest was in Confederate matters. He organized West Feliciana Camp, U. C. V., and was its Commander until his resignation in April, 1911. It was largely through his inspiration and efforts that the Confederate monument at St. Francisville was erected. He was active in lodge work, and had served as Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias. He was a Mason and a Knight Templar of the highest rank under the York Rite.

When the war broke out, he joined the Confederate army, and was appointed by Governor Brown to important duties in the ordnance department. On April 12, 1862, when some Federals as spies seized an engine at Big Shanty, Ga., detached it from the train, and run it from there nearly to Chattanooga, cutting all wires and burning bridges, Mr. Murphy and Capt. W. A. Fuller, conductor of the train from which the engine had been taken by the raiders, followed on another train in pursuit, and succeeded in running down and capturing the raiders, as has been reported before at length in the VETERAN, The estate of Comrade Murphy when the will was probated was estimated to be worth a million dollars.-Born:Nov.29,1829 Buried:Oakland Cemetery, Atlanta, Ga.-On FAG:Picture/Tstone-Civil War Confederate Figure.

When "The General” was stolen in a raid made by the now-famous Andrews Raiders, he was one of first to alert Confederate authorities of the theft (taking it as a personal affront, since it was his train). He then joined the many Confederate Soldiers and Railway workers who pursued the Train and helped recapture it. He, along with conductor William Fuller, chased the Raiders over 87 miles, sometimes by “pole car”, sometimes on foot and finally in another Train, the “Texas”. (bio by: Russ Dodge Murray, J.

The body was removed to the residence of his sister, Mrs. W. H. Deeves. The funeral took place next day in the Jesuit church and the burial was in the tomb of the Army of Northern Virginia, Metairie Cemetery. Captain Murray was a native of New Orleans, and had been identified with every important move in the history of the city since early manhood. For years he was connected with the large department store of D. H. Holmes & Co., and was later Treasurer of the Soldiers' Home. As Superintendent of the Home he made a popular and creditable officer, and his death is universally regretted among the old soldiers stationed there. Captain Murray enlisted in the 6th Louisiana Infantry Regiment at the outbreak of the Civil War. The regiment served in the Army of Northern Virginia, where Captain Murray distinguished himself with other brave men of that regiment. He enlisted in the ranks and was advanced to captain. In civil life the Captain paid just as much attention to details and to honor, arid his career was fully as creditable in the strenuous walks of peace as in the strenuous military service of the Southern army in 1861 65. Captain Murray never forgot his old command, nor indeed any Confederate comrade. He was one of the leading spirits who brought to fruition the plan to erect the tomb of the Army of Northern Virginia for the final rest of the bodies of the members of that army in New Orleans. The Army of Northern Virginia members adjourned their regular monthly meeting scheduled for last night until next Saturday night in tribute to Captain Murray's memory. It appointed Charles Smith, E.

He was made lieutenant in his company, and took a gallant part in all the campaigns of the army in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia. He was wounded at Murfreesboro and Franklin. He was one of the few of Cleburne's Division that penetrated the Federal lines at Franklin, where he was taken prisoner, but escaped before the enemy got to Nashville. Lieutenant Murray was a splendid soldier and a thorough gentleman. He was that "noblest work of God," an honest man. Only his comrades knew of his sublime courage in battle and his heroic devotion to duty. He was so modest that he rarely spoke of his four years' service in one of the great armies of the South. He was a bachelor. [Sketch by W. J. Durbin, of Norfolk, Va.]-notonfag Murteshaw, S. W., Dr.-Text:Vol.20,1912-Our Camp, Omar R. Weaver Camp, No. 354. U. C. V. is called upon to record the passing of our beloved and honored comrade, Dr. S. W. Murteshaw, which occurred at his home, at Jacksonville, in this county, on New Year morning. He was born at Union, S. C. September 17, 1843, and resided there with his parents until the outbreak of the War of the States, when he volunteered April 15, 1861, enlisting in Company E, 3d South Carolina Cavalry, and from that time until honorably discharged at the close of the war he followed the fortunes of the Confederacy in both armies, that of the Northern Virginia and of Tennessee, according to the transfer of military forces. A distinctive trait in Dr. Murteshaw's character was his modesty. He rarely talked about himself. But those who were familiar with the details were ever eager to pay tribute to him and his useful and self sacrificing career down to the end of his life. At the close of hostilities Dr. Murteshaw, still a young man, went west into what was then the wilderness of Arkansas, and, fortunately for the people there, chose Jacksonville as his home. From that time he illustrated the highest type of citizenship, and proudly persisted in the performance of duty, despite persecution, and calmly waited for vindication. Capable in his profession, but with that ability which some have of caring for himself independent of that profession, his profession came to be a mere instrument for aiding and comforting his neighbors and fellow citizens. In the almost half century which has intervened he was an unmixed blessing to those who needed him the most, and living and dead, they join with us in paying this tribute to his beloved ashes. As a Camp we request that this memorial be published in our city papers and also in the CONFEDERATE VETERAN at Nashville, Tenn. It is directed that the Adjutant of the Camp prepare a properly certified copy thereof and deliver the same to the family of our honored and revered comrade. [From Commander George L.

Born in Wadesboro,N.C., Oct.17,1847, son of Absalom and Adeline Boggan Myers, and went with parents to North Mississippi when he was about eight years old. He remembered riding across Lookout Mountain on a pony. He was the youngest of six brothers, and two half brothers. Although too young to enlist, after being drawn into some defensive action around his home, near Byahlia, Miss., it was decided that he should go to the front; so in June 1863, he applied to the 2nd Missouri Regt. At Holly Springs for adamission. Upon giving his age, he was informed that he was too young for service in the army; but he replied, “You will have to take me. I have on my father’s consent, and I cannot return home.” The boy soldier, not sixteen years of age, on June 15,1863 in Byhalia, Miss. was accepted in Co.H-2nd Missouri Cavalry Regt., and served in Colonel McCullough’s regiment under Forrest, with the Army of Tennessee. He was paroled with his command at Gainesville, Ala, on May 4,1865. In 1873 Comrade Myers was married to Miss Mary Frances “Minnie” Walter (1854-1911), daughter of Col. H.W. Walter, a distinguished lawyer of Holly Springs, who was adjutant general on General Bragg’s staff during the war. He took an active part during the days of Reconstruction, and participated, with some of his army comrades, in the work of the Ku-Klux-Klan. He held various offices in Marshall Co., Miss., and in 1878 was appointed Sect.of State for Mississippi., which he held until 1886. A few years later he removed to Memphis, Tenn., with his wife and only child, now Mrs. Addie (m.Myers) ”John” Blanton Edgar (1878-1966). His wife died in 1911. In 1895 Comrade Myers was appointed by Gen. Stephen D. Lee as Quartermaster General, U.C.V. on his staff, and he held the office for over twenty years. The last commission was issued by Gen. George P. Harrison, the present Commander in Chief, U.C.V. Comrade Myers was noted for his knightly courage and gallantry, both in the army and in after life, and for loyalty to his friends. While engaged in planting in the Delta, he was also connected with the Equitable Life Ins. Co. in Memphis for more than twenty five years. Stricken with paralysis last December, he died on Aug.19,1917. Peace be to his ashes.

Nance was born in Bedford County, Tenn., December 23, 1831, and his body was laid to rest on April 11, 1908. He lived in that vicinity all of his life, except while serving in the Confederate army, and shared the respect and esteem of all who knew hm. John Nance was a plain farmer, tall, erect, and strong, and he joined his neighbors as a volunteer in the Confederate army. They elected him corporal in Company B, 41st Tennessee Infantry. The command was of the Fort Donelson prisoners and sent to Camp Morton, where for weeks their hunger was such that the entire day's ration was devoured immediately. All were in ill humor, and the sergeant in charge became disgusted with the complaints, and Corporal Nance was chosen to that unpleasant service. He would not be intimidated: and when a fellow prisoner complained, he would tell him to "take that or nothing." So heroic and absolutely impartial was he that soon he became a general favorite, a distinction that he ever maintained. When the regiment was exchanged, he was chosen lieutenant, and commanded the company much of the time afterwards. In every capacity of service he was a manly man, and, while ever at his post of duty, he was especially conspicuous in battle, and diligent in service as an officer in seeing that every man kept in his place. He was an unusual person. His modesty made him in a sense timid, and his reticence prevented an extensive acquaintance. He was, however, ruggedly sincere, and the performance of duty was the rule of his life. A few years after the war Comrade Nance became a zealous member of the Methodist Church, and was faithful to the end. He was twice married first to a Miss Word, whose death occurred in a few years, leaving to him a son, William. By another marriage, to Miss Kate Snell, there were four children, all of whom survive: one son, Vance, and three daughters, Emma, Mary, and Georgia (Mary is Mrs. Thomas). The devotion of his family, although he had become very infirm, attested how faithfully he had performed his duties as husband and father.

Nash, familiarly known as "Jerry" Nash, was born in San Augustine, Tex., on Mar. 9, 1841. He moved to Kaufman County and settled near the town of Kaufman at an early day. He lived with his father until the war commenced, when he joined the Confederate army, and was fourth corporal in Company A, 6th Texas Cavalry Regiment. On September 10, 1861, the regiment joined McCulloch's army at Carthage, Mo. Their first fight was with the Indians at Opothlohola and the next at Elkhorn. The regiment was then dismounted and transferred to the Army of Tennessee at Corinth, and was in the Farmington, Iuka, and Corinth battles. It was then remounted and Jerry Nash was sent to Texas to get the horses for his company, which he did. Following this the command continued fighting in front of Grant, and was next in the raid that went to his rear and captured his army supplies, forcing him to fall back to Memphis. After the fights at Davis's Mills and Middlesburg, the command was ordered to Middle Tennessee, where it fought at Thompson's Station and about Franklin. It was sent back to Mississippi near Vicksburg. It fought at Raymond, Miss., and did much skirmishing in that section pending the siege of Vicksburg, and from there engaged Sherman from Vicksburg to Meridian and back to Vicksburg, and was in a fight at Yazoo City. The command was then transferred to North Alabama, joined Johnston's army at Rome, Ga., and was in the fighting from there to Jonesboro on the Johnston Sherman campaign in Georgia. Afterwards it was in Hood's campaign, fighting at Murfreesboro, Franklin, and on the retreat was in a continual fight from Nashville to Florence, Ala. It was then sent back to the vicinity of Vicksburg, where the command surrendered. Comrade Nash at that time was second sergeant of his company. He was frequently detailed with the scouts and many times was in close places. He was always at his post, yet, strange to say, he was never wounded. When the troops were surrendering, a group of four, composed of Jerry Nash, Jack Phillips, Joe Hardin, and John West, determined not to surrender, and believing that the war would continue west of the Mississippi River, they ran the gauntlet, crossed the Mississippi (then flooded, in a skiff, and made their way to Monroe, La., and from there on to Texas. Comrade Nash was a man of noble impulses and so courageous that he was apparently indifferent to his own safety, but was always interested in the welfare of his comrades, and whatever he possessed was as freely theirs as his own. Comrade Nash died suddenly at his home in Kaufman, Tex., March 26, 1912, at the age of seventy one years. He had accumulated considerable property, and was ever liberal in distributing to those in need. Two sons and a daughter survive him, W. T. and J. A. Nash and Mrs. James Young. Mr. Young is a member of Congress from Texas. The descendants of this noble man are of the same material, and their lives daily exemplify that truth. [Sketch by J. W.

He is survived by his wife, two sons, two daughters, and three brothers. In 1861 Comrade Neel enlisted in the Monroe Guards, which was assigned to the 27th Virginia Infantry, Stonewall Brigade, and served throughout the war with conspicuous courage and fidelity.

His death came as a great shock. He had recently been in El Paso on a visit to his son, Robert T.Neill, a young lawyer in that city, but he had gone to Cloudcroft, where he had been accustomed to spend the summer. The son went to Cloudcroft on the first train and accompanied the body to Alamagordo, where it was prepared for burial. The funeral was conducted in El Paso, Judge Neill’s former home, the Masons of that city having charge. The bench and bar of El Paso took part, and the Masons and bar of San Antonio sent delegations. Mrs.Neill, who was at San Antonio, left for El Paso on an early train. Her daughter, Mrs.Frederick N.Raymond of Raymondville, in the lower Rio Grande country, could not attend the funeral. Just a day or two before his death Justice Neill was elated by receipt of a telegram stating that a son had been born to Mrs.Raymond. The death of Justice Neill causes the first vacancy in the Fourth Court of Appeals since it was appointed by the late Governor Hogg in 1893. With John H.James, of San Antonio, as chief justice and W.S.Fly, of Gonzales, and H.H.Neill of El Paso, associate justices, the court was a remarkably able one, and it had existed for eighteen years. Judge Neill as a lawyer had few equals. Justice Neill’s ancestry is traced in an unbroken line to the junior branch of the family of the last The O’Neill of Ireland who was buried in Rome in 1616, and whose grave is still marked. Judge Neill was a native of Carroll Co., Miss. He was born Jan.29,1848, and was reared in the old colonial home of his father, Col.G.F.Neill, four miles from Carrollton. His father and mother, Caroline Hart, were of Robinson Co., Tenn. In the last year of the Civil War Hal H.Neill, then sixteen years old, joined the Confederate Army. Although his father was a colonel of the 13th Mississippi, he became one of Capt.Ike S.Harvey’s scouts and saw service in Tennessse, Alabama, and Mississippi under Generals Forrest and Hood. After the war he entered the Univ. of Mississippi. Most of the university students had served in the army, and there “never was such a class of freshmen as those who entered the university after the war.” In 1872 he moved to Stephensville, Erath Co., Texas, and in 1877 he was married to Dora Fagan, of Stephensville, who survives him. Of their five children two are living, Robert T.Neill and Mrs.Dora Raymond. He moved to El Paso in 1882, where he made his home until Governor Hogg appointed him to the bench, when he made San Antonio his home. He had taken all the degrees of Masonry, was an Odd Fellow, and was a member of Albert Sidney Johnston Camp of Confederate Veterans.

Mr. Olney, who was for many years prominent in financial and educational affairs in Charleston and connected with its railroad interests over forty years, was a native of that city, where he was born in 1843. He came from a fighting family, his paternal ancestors being famous Indian fighters in colonial times, and his grandfather, Capt. Stephen Olney, of the first Rhode Island Continental Line, was the gallant leader of the assault on the last British redoubt at Yorktown. His father, George Washington Olney, for sixty years a merchant of Charleston, served in the War of 1812.When the War between the States broke out. Mr. Clarence C. Olney was at school, and he promptly forsook his books to volunteer for the Confederate cause and was sent into the field. His most important army service was with the Palmetto Guard of Charleston in the operations around that city from February, 1862, to April 25, 1865, the date of the final surrender. After the war he went into the service of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, and when that road became insolvent was appointed its receiver by the courts. It was in 1876, while administering the affairs of the receivership in Savannah, that the fatal yellow fever epidemic of that year broke out there, and, sticking to his post, he devoted his entire time to the succor of the sick, earning the repeated manifestations of the gratitude of that community and almost becoming a victim of the scourge himself. Subsequently he was appointed General Freight Agent at Charleston of the Atlantic Coast Line, and in 1893 Treasurer of the Northeastern Railroad Company, which afterwards became a part of the Atlantic Coast Line System. On the enlargement and reorganization of the system he was appointed Assistant Treasurer at Charleston, holding the place until his death.He was Vice Commander of the Palmetto Guard Veteran Corps, and at his funeral services, which were held at St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church, Charleston, of which he was senior warden, the honorary pallbearers represented the Veteran Corps, the Church, and the various business interests with which he was connected.

Of his life and achievements in the Richmond Times states: In the passing of Dr.Parker, Richmond loses one of its grandest citizens. He was a physician of far more than local reputation, a Christian gentleman, and a philanthropist. He was born on May.5,1824, a native of Caroline County, and a son of the late Col.Stafford H.Parker, who held an office at the capitol for some years prior to the war. His father sent him to Paris, after finishing medical school in this country, where he had practical experience in a hospital under the most noted French physicians and surgeons. He had a brilliant war record, Parker’s battery made itself famous. He entered the service in the infantry, and served in the Peninsula campaign. Returning to the city, he met with Mr.J.Thompson Brown, who was just back from the fights in West Virginia. They and some of their friends decided to organize a new company, which later turned into a battery. He purchased four guns, and he was made Captain and Mr.Brown 1st Lieut.. They were in many battles, including with Jackson during a part of his Valley campaign. It did excellent work at Sharpsburg, at Fredericksburg, and in the Wilderness battles. When hostilities ceased, Dr.Parker resumed the practice of his profession in Richmond. He was active in charity work, including the Male Orphan Asylum, of which he was President.

From his enlistment he was active in service with his command. He was in the battles at Port Hudson, La., preceding the date of its final investment by the enemy. But when in the spring of 1863, General Grant advanced upon Vicksburg with a large army to besiege it, the command to which Comrade Pepper belonged was, with others, transferred from General Gardner’s army at Port Hudson for the relief of General Pemberton at Vicksbug. He was in the siege of Vicksburg and engaged in the battle that was continuous for two months.

The prisoners were paroled; and when Comrade Pepper was exchanged, he immediately reentered the service and served until the end and was paroled in May, 1865.

Born in North Carolina and coming to Missouri at the early age of twelve years, he was a resident of this State for the better part of his life. His father settled in that portion of Southeast Missouri where partisan feeling ran highest and was bitterest at the outset of the Civil War. At his most impressionable age, young Peterson came in contact with influences which affected his whole after life, and the recollection of these times was graven deep on his memory. That memory was tenacious, it clung to the smallest details, and things he saw, heard or read in early life became with him a fixed record. His life up to shortly after the age of fifteen years is best told in his own words. The writer of this short sketch had often importuned him to make a record of his recollections, so at length in 1905 he began work on them; but invalidism came upon him shortly thereafter and he never felt the inclination to complete his "Autobiographical Sketch." It is therefore but a fragment—a very valuable one though, for it deals with his impressions as a youth, when the storm of clouds were gathering round Old Glory. He ends his sketch with an account of his part in the defense of Cape Girardeau against an attack upon it by Gen. John S. Marmaduke with a division of ConfederateCavalry. His father, of whose safety he had started out on a trip to assure himself, later found him armed with a musket, guarding a bridge. Young Peterson's part in the war was but a minor one but full of excitement and danger, for that portion of Missouri in which he lived, was in a continual turmoil until years after the Civil War was over. About the close of the war, his father moved with his family to Fredericktown, Madison County, Missouri. Young Peterson farmed for a time, clerked in a store, tinkered clocks, peddled religious chromos, and was leader of the Fredericktown Band. Later he assisted his father, who was at one time Probate Judge of the County, and held some other official positions at Fredericktown. In the year 1869, on June 6th, Cyrus A. Peterson, while serving as a constable, endeavored to arrest the notorious desperado, Sam Hilderbrand, and they exchanged shots, Hilderbrand being shot through the fleshy part of the thigh, and Peterson untouched. Hilderbrand escaped and lived to write his well-known Autobiography in which he gave a rather distorted account of this and other affairs in which he took part. The education of Mr. Peterson, which had stopped abruptly before the age of thirteen, was again taken up as the result of the enforced idleness caused by a spell of typhoid fever, about the year 1868 and the long convalescence following it. During this period he became in truth a student and continued as one until the close of his life. He now mastered German and Latin and prepared himself for admission to the bar, but not liking this profession, he declined to practice law and took up the study of medicine. However, earning a livelihood came first, and it was not until 1874 that he began to study medicine in earnest under Dr. Louis J. Villars at Fredericktown, continuing during the years 1875, 1876 and 1877. He attended the Missouri Medical College during several terms, graduating there in 1878 with the degree of M. D. He had practiced medicine from almost the time when he began his study of it. He continued in the practice until 1880, when his health broke down, and he was forced to go to Nebraska and live for a time on a ranch. In the latter part of this year, he accepted an offer made him by the Thiel Detective Service Company and entered their employ. Possessed of rare executive ability, and gifted with a profound knowledge of men and the motives which move them, his rise with this company was rapid and in less than ten years he had become their Assistant General Manager. About 1892 he became Vice President of this company, which position he held until his death. On July 2nd, 1872, Cyrus A. Peterson married at Fredericktown, Missouri, Christina Alvina Hartkopf (born November 11th, 1851), the daughter of Daniel Hartkopf, whose acquaintance he had cultivated from 1868 on, in an effort to perfect himself in conversational German, thereby occasionally meeting the daughter. Dr. Peterson is survived by his wife and the following children: Darwin Paine, born August 14th, 1875; Winona, born January 23, 1875; and Tyndall Humboldt, born December 16th, 1878. One son Julian Ingersoll, born June 30th, 1877, died November 12th, 1909. Dr. Peterson was possessed of a remarkably keen, analytical mind, which pre-eminently fitted him to excel in the sciences, and had he continued in the practice of medicine, he would have won fame and name for himself. As it was, all of his spare hours were devoted to scientific study, and he was fully abreast of the times in these matters. His original research work on the Indians, the Mound Builders and on Archeology, made him a recognized authority on these subjects. He contributed many articles on scientific matters to current publications and published the following in pamphlet form: Population of Ancient and Modern Rome. Copyright, 1898.

He was fond of hunting wild game, with which the country then abounded. He received his education in the old field" schools of the county and at Orion, Troy, and Brownwood, near La Grange, Ga. On December 15, 1858, he married Miss Torbut Sloan, of Lowndes County. At the beginning of the War of the States he joined the 1st Alabama Cavalry. In the battle of Perryville a ball passed through his body, and he was left on the field for dead. Three days after he received attention from a surgeon of the Federal army. His recovery was very slow, and when he returned home, his beautiful wife was in her grave. After his recovery from his severe wound he Joined the 6th Alabama Cavalry, commanded by Col. C. H. Colvin, and was captured March 25, 1865, at Pine Barren and sent to Ship Island, where he remained until May 1, and was then taken to Vicksburg and paroled on May 6, 1865. In December, 1867, he was married to Miss Augusta Siler at Orion, Ala. She was a beautiful and accomplished woman, but in less than a year she was claimed by death. On April 29, 1875, he was again married to Miss Alice McLaurine, of Virginia, who has been to him a helpmeet in every way, and who, with her six children, survives him. Comrade Pickett was a man of deep and earnest piety, a devoted Church member since 1863, and held the office of Church clerk and deacon for many years.

Matt B. Pilcher was a member of Company B, Rock City Guards, Nashville. When the war came on he was made sergeant of the company and mustered in the 1st Tennessee Infantry on May 10, 1861. After the regiment had reenlisted for the war at Shiloh, Captain Pilcher was made quartermaster and in later years paymaster. In the battle of Perryville, Ky., October 8, 1862, he, by permission of General Cheatham, was in the hottest of the fight, and in the desperate charge of the regiment, which lost some four hundred men, he was severely wounded. I nursed him for six months, and twice during the time Dr. J, R. Buist, our surgeon, said he could not recover. He was exchanged at City Point in April, 1863, and when en route to the regiment at Shelbyville, Tenn., the car in which he was riding jumped the track near Bristol, killing and wounding a number of his comrades and breaking his arm. While on parole in Louisville waiting for exchange we were all at the aptist Church in which Dr. Lorimer was then preaching Captain Pilcher was called on to teach the Bible class, in which there were a number of "boys in blue," while he was in the captain's uniform of gray. While in Louisville a young lady gave each of us a pocket edition of the New Testament with a sentiment written on the fly leaf, but I lost mine. Captain Pilcher kept his in the side pocket of his coat. He was at the front again in the battle of Franklin, Tenn., when a bullet struck the Testament, turned from his heart, and plowed through his side, giving him a severe wound which caused him to be captured again. He was then kept in prison at Camp Chase until the war ended. While in this prison Captain Pilcher led the singing and prayer service while Rev. William Stewart Hawkins preached to the boys. I recall four members of the 1st Tennessee who were not demoralized by the war and who maintained their morality throughout the struggle viz., M. B. Pilcher, J. B. O'Bryan, W. M. Pollard, and W. L. Danley. They would not eat rations they knew were stolen. After the war Captain Pilcher was actively engaged in business , but he was never too busy to do the Master's work, and I do not know a minister who did more missionary work than he. He was never too proud to go into the slums and help lift up fallen humanity. Some months before he was stricken with paralysis he was sent for to minister at the funeral of one of the unfortunates. Chancellor Wiggins wrote me from Sewanee: "We regret to hear of the death of Captain Pilcher. We shall miss him. especially at Monteagle, where he did such excellent work."We shall miss him from our Bivouac, from our Reunions, from the Church and missions, and from our firesides. The foregoing is from Marcus B. Toney, who was perhaps his closest personal friend. Because of Captain Pitcher's prominence in the ways indicated, his wide acquaintance, and the prominence of Mrs. Pilcher as President of the Tennessee Daughters of the Confederacy, there were many tributes from various sections by persons and Confederate organiza tions to his memory. There are three sons and a daughter, wife of Mr. Reau E. Folk, Treasurer of Tennessee. Hon. J. L. McCaskill, Chancellor of the Second Chancery District of Mississippi and Adjutant General of the Mississippi Division, U. C. V., died at his home, in Brandon, Miss., on December 6, in his sixty ninth year. He enlisted in the Burt Rifles, Company K, 18th Mississippi Regiment, in 1861, and participated in the battles of Manassas, Leesburg, Lee's Mill, Seven Pines, Seven Days' Battle at Maryland Heights, Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg (where he was wounded), and Fredericksburg (where he was captured). After being exchanged he was at Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Resaca, New Hope Church, Kennesaw Mountain, Lost Mountain, Peachtree Creek, and Atlanta. In the latter battle he was again captured and taken to Johnson's Island, where he was kept till the close of the war. Returning home, he located at Brandon and became associated with the late Hon. W. B. Shelby in the practice of law. In Cleveland's first administration he was sent as Consul to Dublin, Ireland, for four years. H& was a graduate of the University of Mississippi, and was a trustee of the institution from 1877 to 1885. In 1876 he was a member of the Senate. He was appointed Chancellor by Governor Vardaman and reappointed by Governor Noel. In the U. C. V. Association he had been Adjutant of the Mississippi Division for a number of years under Maj. Gen. Robert Lowry, Commanding Division. He was married in 1869 to Miss S. A. McLaurin, and is survived by three sons and a daughter. In the death of Judge McCaskill the State lost an able defender, the judiciary one of its best Chancellors, his community a true citizen, his family a kind and loving protector, and the U. C. V. one of its stanchest and truest comrades.

He was severely wounded in the right side, also in each arm, in the battle of Selma, Ala., On Apr.2,1865., and was on the field for dead, where he lay for more than twenty four hours, suffering untold agonies. After being taken to the hospital and given proper care, he recovered and, the war being over, started to his home, something over three hundred miles away. The railroads were in such bad condition that it took him four days to make the trip, and he then had to walk a distance before him. Painfully making his way, he reached home, where his return brought great joy as he had been reported dead. In 1870 he was married to Miss Amanda Ellen “Eleanor” Wilson (1852-1933) and soon thereafter removed to California, settling in the San Gabriel Valley, which he helped to develop. From 1899 the home was in Redlands, where he died on Aug.19,1917, survived by his wife and eight children, six daughters and two sons.

Mr. Poindexter was born in Chatham, Va., November 11, 1838. He attended school in Louisa County, where his father moved when he was a boy, and afterwards was a student at the University of Virginia. He then decided to study for the ministry, and entered the Episcopal Theological Seminary at Alexandria, where he was a student when that institution was closed on account of the War of the States in 1861. Immediately upon the declaration of war he enlisted and was made lieutenant in Company H, 38th Virginia Regiment, Armistead's Brigade, Pickett's Division. He was first under fire at Yorktown, and was shot in the battle of Seven Pines on May 31, 1862, his death occurring on the fiftieth anniversary of the day that he was taken to the hospital in Richmond and thought to be mortally wounded. He remained in the hospital for eighteen months, and then rejoined his regiment as captain. He was at Gettysburg, and was wounded in Pickett's famous charge. There he was taken prisoner and incarcerated on Johnson's Island, from which he was exchanged just two days before the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox, After the war Mr. Poindexter taught school in Pittsylvania County and then at Montgomery, Ala. Meanwhile he kept up with his theological studies, and was ordained while in Alabama by Bishop Wilmer. His first charge was at Easton, Md., which he resigned to become assistant to Bishop Randolph, who was then rector of Emmanuel Church, in Baltimore. After that he was rector of a Church at Front Royal, Va. for eighteen years and spent sixteen years at La Plata, Md. He then went to Warrenton, N. C. and removed to Richmond in the fall of 1906. He spent much time in literary pursuits, especially as regarded the Civil War. Mr. Poindexter is survived by his wife (who was Miss Katherine Wallace), one son (Gordon W. Poindexter, of Richmond, and one daughter (Mrs. W. W. Taylor, of Warrenton, N. C.), also by a brother and sister.

He graduated at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, A.D.1827. While at West Point, he was baptized by the Rev.C.T.McElvaine, then chaplain of the Academy, and subsequently Bishop of Ohio. He was consecrated Bishop with provisional charge of Alabama, Mississippi, and the Republic of Texas, Dec.9,1838, by the Right Reverend William Meade, D.D., Bishop of Virginia, assisted by the Bishops of Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio. In 1841 he was elected Bishop of Louisiana, which he accepted and resigned his missionary jurisdiction. During the war he was appointed General in the Confederate forces, and while on duty near Marietta, Ga., he was killed by a shot from a cannon, on the 14th day of June, 1864. Had it not been for the war, Bishop Polk would have unquestionably have realized all his hopes for the University of the South! As it was he had succeeded in raising an endowment of $200,000, and secured a valuable domain of about 10,000 acres. These were the active instruments in establishing the University of the South, Sewanee, Tenn. Confederate Veteran:v.3, p.54, 55-per Find A Grave by Donald Greyfield: Religious Leader, Confederate General. The Cousin of U.S. President James K. Polk, Leonidas Polk was born in Raleigh, North Carolina to a very wealthy father. While attending the University of North Carolina, he received an appointment to West Point where he was an excellent student graduating 8th in his class along with his best friend the future President of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis. Another person at the Point would have an influence upon Polk. The Episcopal Chaplain would direct his life toward a religious vocation. After leaving the Military Academy, Leonidas Polk resigned his 2d Lieutenant's commission and entered the Virginia Theological Seminary. Ordained, he would travel by boat, horse, rail and mail carriage throughout Mississippi and Louisiana as a missionary spreading religion and constructing churches. six years later, he was name bishop of Louisiana and took on the task of establishing an Episcopal school of higher learning, The University of the South, located in Sewanee, Tennessee. While Bishop of Louisiana, he became a prosperous sugarcane planter and owned the Leighton Plantation at Thibodaux which was worked by a large number of slaves brought from his wife's plantation in North Carolina. During the secession crisis, West Point grads were forced to chose sides and Leonidas shed his clerical garments and severed his relationship with the Episcopal Church. His friendship with now President Jeff Davis bore fruit and with no military talent was appointed a major general with a high command in the West. He directed a corps in several major battles: Shiloh, Perryville, Murfreesboro and Chichamaunga. Under the Command of General Braxton Bragg, Polk's incompetents was instrumental in the Confederate defeat at Stone's River. Strained relations between Braxton and Polk reached the breaking point when at Chickamauga he was ordered to attack at dawn but failed to carry out his assignment resulting in a Bragg order for court-marshal. Again his friendship with President Davis was useful. Polk was detached from the Army of Tennessee and placed in command of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. Failure again, his army was no obstacle in the path of Union General Sherman. His Army was sent to reinforce the Army of Tennessee in northwest Georgia. While reconnoitering the union positions from atop Pine Mountain, the uncle of Brig General Lucius E. Polk was killed by an artillery shell. Death had succeeded where his military exploits failed The highest ranking officer to die in the southern cause had become a martyr. His body was recovered and brought to Augusta, Georgia where a mass was held at St. Paul's Church . Episcopal bishops from throughout the South participated in the solemn service. Many soldiers who fought under the bishop-general attended the funeral. He was buried in a crypt at the church. His legacy is not his mediocre military career but his labors as a Episcopal clergyman. The University of the South today is a top liberal arts college and seminary of the Episcopal Church. It has produced 24 Rhodes Scholars, six Fulbright Scholars while its school of theology has provided the church with an unending supply of leaders and bishops. There are dozens of churches spread around Louisiana and Mississippi functioning today while boasting corner stones laid by him. The ultimate is Christ Church Cathedral in New Orleans and in 1945, the bodies of both the bishop and his wife were transferred from the crypt in Augusta and honored by re interment here. His military legacy is honored by a tall shaft erected on Pine Mountain upon the spot where he was killed. It is located on private property but accessible. A detailed inscription highlights his extraordinary life. Fort Polk named for Leonidas is the largest military installation in Louisiana and originally called Camp Polk. Built in 194l, the facility has been closed and reopened many times to meet the countries need for military preparedness. It is located near Leesville.

He enlisted in Co.C-16th Miss.Infantry, which served in the Army of Northern Virginia, taking part in all the great battles fought there. He rapidly advanced to the rank of first lieutenant of his company; and when his captain fell on the battle field Aug.3,1864, when Grant’s splendid army corps made its celebrated charge on the lines of Gen.Lee at Richmond and was repulsed with terrible slaughter, he was promoted to captaincy. He also particiaped in the famous charge at Gettsyburg. After the war he returned to Utica, where he built up a successful business. Later being one of the largest landowners of this section, he retired to his plantation in farming until the time of his death.

Robert, who entered on his rest in St. Louis September 26, was a member of Camp No. 731, Missouri Division, U. C. V. He was a soldier of the South whose dearest remembrances in the evening of his life were the years he gave to the cause he loved. When the war broke out Mr. Robert was a rector of Newport, Isle of Wight County, and Southwork, Surrey County, Va.: but when Virginia voted not to secede, he resigned his parishes there, determined to move' South. He had accepted a parish at Opelousas, La., and had gone to Richmond to make arrangements to move his family. While there he met Bishop Polk, who told him that 'he was more needed in the army than in any parish. Mr. Robert replied that he had already endeavored to get into the army, and had offered his services as chaplain, but found that political influence was needed to secure a commission, and he had none. Bishop Polk told him to wait, and the next day the Bishop brought him a commission as chaplain in the Second Louisiana, the first chaplain's commission issued after the government reached Richmond. Mr. Robert served sixteen months with the Second Louisiana, and was then transferred to the Thirty Fourth Virginia, which was then a heavy artillery regiment stationed at Yorktown. The Thirty Fourth was afterwards made an infantry regiment, and Mr. Robert went with it during the remainder of the war. With Wise's Brigade, of which the Thirty Fourth was a part, he served under Generals Lee and Jackson, and in 1863 he went with the brigade to Charleston, S. C. He was in the fights around Petersburg and was surrendered with the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox. Mr. Robert returned to his priestly duties after the surrender, but in 1866 he was called to Christ Church, Little Rock, and in 1869 he moved to St. Louis, where the remainder of his life's work was done. Until age destroyed his strength, he was rector of the Church of the Holy Communion, which he built up from the beginning. Mr. Robert married Miss Elizabeth Scott, daughter of Dr. Edward Pegram Scott, who survives him. He left five sons living out of nine children who were born to him. In the years of his retirement no subjects appealed to his interest except the work of the Church to which he had devoted 'his life and the cause for which he had risked it, and from which he never withdrew his loyal devotion. His last work was to copy for preservation the letters he wrote to and received from his wife while he was serving in the field. Believing fully in the righteousness of the cause of the South, he never swerved in his loyal devotion to the star crossed banner of the Confederacy, which grew dearer to him as the evening shadows settled around him, and he was often heard to express satisfaction that in the higher life he should know why a cause so Just should seem 'to have failed. The foregoing sketch fails to chronicle the marvelous intellectual power of Dr. Robert. It is very rare that the ability to express one's views with such force and conciseness is given to man. He was gifted in the use of rarest and strongest words very similarly to the late beloved Col. Thomas C. Howard, of Atlanta, who was the Confederate postmaster on wheels before and after the fall of Atlanta. Doctor Robert's terse papers in the Veteran from time to time for a decade will be recalled, but it is reserved for those who knew him intimately to remember his power to thrill and his zeal for his people of the South, second only to the cause of his Lord.

Purvis, who was born in McMinnville, Tenn., on Sep.21,1836 and died at Pulaski, Va., April 3, 1908: With only a meager country school education, he began life as a mechanic a carpenter's apprentice while yet a boy. As he grew to manhood he became ambitious for a broader career, and finally secured an opening as apprentice in a printing office in Winchester. From this beginning he rose, by study and application, to the partial ownership and control of several country newspapers. Again his ambition led him to wider fields, and he was able to secure a foothold in Nashville, the metropolis as well as the capital of his native State. The beginning of the war found him but recently established there. He enlisted as a private in one of the first Confederate regiments to be formed in Tennessee, and he served with gallantry and distinction until the close of the war. He returned from the war on foot, with his worldly possessions strapped upon his back. Without kindred or friends to aid him, he again began life in Nashville so successfully that he was shortly able, in partnership with Henry Watterson and Albert Roberts, to found the newspaper which is the Nashville American of to day. From the beginning this partnership was a most successful one, and after its dissolution, Colonel Purvis continued for many years to occupy a position of enviable prominence as a publisher, printer, an early owner of the business now conducted by Marshall & Bruce, and as an extensive owner of real estate in Nashville. In his later years his own misfortunes and those of his friends swept away most of his property and forced him to again take up the struggle of life at a time when most people are laying it aside. But it was not in his business career that Colonel Purvis was at his best. A man of peculiar brightness of intellect and charm of manner, it was as a journalist that he won the enduring regard of all who knew him. He was a striking example of what is possible to a vigorous intellect and an open heart. But it was in the social circle and among his intimates that the genius that was in him shone forth. Fearless and fair, with a gentle humor and a mind which grasped, assayed, and expressed the philosophy of humanity's many sided existence, to know him was a privilege, to listen to him a joy. Always the potent champion of 'the under dog,' ever the untiring foe of sophistry and sham, with the wit to perceive and the courage to attack that host of meannesses which lurk behind a fair front of outward virtue, the admiration and the love of those who knew him best went hand in hand to do him homage. Above and illuminating every other quality of this departed friend was his geniality. He brought the sunshine with him. Contemptuous of all malign influence, sanguine of all good, his was an optimism that disdained defeat and ever bore you upward with its infectious zeal.

To them were born eleven children, seven of whom are living, residents of Sumter County, enjoying the heritage of a noble ancestry and honoring in their lives an unblemished family reputation. He entered the service of the Confederacy with the Fifty Sixth Alabama Regiment in September, 1862, serving with credit to the close of the war. When the war was over he took an active and capable part in the reconstruction of State and county politics. He was four times elected to the State Legislature, in which body he wielded a potent influence. Incorruptible, absolutely above the temptations of place or power, his career as a public citizen is without reproach. As a private citizen, in all of his relations as husband, father, and friend, his life was wholesome, sweet, and pure. He discharged his duty as a Christian citizen. He made companions of his boys and of their little friends. His heart was as young and as tender as their own, his sympathy for their grief as great as was their sorrows. It was to this fact, perhaps, as much as to his impartial decisions of their disputes that he exercised a wonderful influence upon the youth of his acquaintance. This influence is especially emphasized because of the difference in age. He possessed the unbounded confidence of his associates of maturer years, acting often in the capacity of arbitrator in those disputes common to country neighborhoods. As a business man he was a success, and his obligations needed no further guarantee than his promise to pay. A thing was either right or wrong, receiving his indorsement or his condemnation as soon as he could carefully consider the subject. Mr. Ramsay was born in Pendleton District, near Pickens C. H., S. C., December 14, 1827, and died in Birmingham, Ala., on the 27th day of June, 1899, to which place he had gone for treatment, having been in feeble health for years. When told that the end was near, he accepted the fact with that courageous serenity born of supreme confidence in a life of rectitude. With the love and respect growing out of an intimate knowledge of the life of my dead friend, this sketch of him is affectionately inscribed. notonfag Ramsey, John Wesley.-p.131 Confederate Veteran March 1903.-A committee composed of H. J. Ferguson and T. J. Happel reported to the Strahl Bivouac, Trenton, Tenn., the following tribute to John W. Ramsey: Comrade J. W. Ramsey was born in Gibson County, Tenn., near Trenton, October 7, 1840. He died November 4, 1901. He was reared on a farm an honest, sturdy, farmer boy. He received a good common school education, and applied himself to his vocation as a farmer until June 20, 1861, when he joined Company D, under Capt. G. B. Black, which company became part of the First West Tennessee Battalion. It was afterwards merged into the Fifty Fifth Tennessee Regiment. He served with his company at Columbus, Ky., until March 1, 1862, and was then sent to Island No. 10, where he, with the command, was captured on April 8, 1862. Private Ramsey was sent as a prisoner first to Madison, Wis., and then to Camp Douglas, and later exchanged at Vicksburg, Miss., September 17, 1862. At the reorganization at Jackson, Miss., his command was placed in Maxey's Brigade and was sent to Port Hudson, where they served till May 1, 1863. When Vicksburg fell he was at Jackson, Miss., where they participated in the eight days' siege of Jackson, Miss. He was later at Mobile, Ala., and thence in the Army of Tennessee, engaging in the Missionary Ridge fight and the retreat at Dalton, Ga. In the Georgia campaign he was with Hood on his disastrous march into Tennessee, engaging in the bloody battles of Franklin and Nashville. From the last place he was sent to Mississippi, and then to Gen. J. E. Johnston in North Carolina, where his service ended. It is said by a comrade that he never shirked a duty nor complained at any detail. He never missed a roll call or battle. Comrade Ramsey married Miss Victoria M. Heard January 3, 1866, and the seven children of this marriage survive their father. J. W. Ramsey served three terms as trustee of Gibson County.

McGillicuddy says: 'I was pleased to hear from you and to know you are a subscriber to the CONFEDERATE VETERAN, and I am glad you read my Grant paper. I think all the old boys in gray should take it."' W. S. Ray met Captain McGillicuddy, who was provost marshal, at Corinth, Miss., in 1863, while going into town for the purchase of clothing and pistol caps for a scouting party to which he belonged. Thinking Ray to be a farmer boy, the provost marshal showed him many kindnesses, and when McGillicuddy's letter appeared in the VETERAN, Ray wrote to him and told him how he had treated a Rebel boy who scouted with "Dock" Smith in 1863. Ray belonged to Jeffrey Forrest's Regiment, Roddy's command. notonfag Raysor, John Michael Text: The sudden death of Comrade John M. Raysor at his home, in Atlanta, Ga., was an inexpressible shock to his friends and comrades of Stonewall Jackson Camp. From the resolutions passed in his honor the following sketch of his life was secured : John Michael Raysor was anative of South Carolina, but his father having removed to Florida before the war, it was from that State that he entered the Confederate service. His father was colonel of the Florida State Troops, and all his brothers were in the Confederate service, one of them being a captain. John Raysor served in the Co.G-5th Florida Infantry Regiment, of which John C. Hately was colonel. He was with the Virginia Army until wounded, his right arm being shattered, but it finally healed and became fairly serviceable. He was then detailed with the enrolling department of the State of Florida until the close of the war. He participated in many battles, being twice awarded medals for distinguished gallantry in action: at Chancellorsville, because he was the first to cross a hastily improvised bridge in a successful charge against the enemy's intrenchments, and! at Gettysburg, because he faced almost certain death in drawing off in the dark the Confederate pickets, whose orders were to fire without challenging. It is said that when his brigadier general called upon him to perform that glorious deed at Gettysburg his captain said: "John, if I were you, I would not go, it is almost certain death." He replied: "Some one must go, and I might as well be the one." Comrade Raysor removed to Atlanta shortly after the war, and for sixteen years past had been connected with Judge Orr's court. His life was that of the consecrated Christian, ever looking onward to something better. His love for little children was a fine trait of his character. For years he was superintendent of the Trinity Home Mission Sunday School, and was also long a member of the Board of Stewards of Trinity Church. Death came to him in his sixty sixth year. His daughter, Mrs. Robert T. Clayton, of Birmingham, and three sisters and a brother, Capt. George D. Raysor, of Quitman, Ga., are the survivors of his family. He was also proud of having been a Confederate soldier, yet no one ever heard him give an account of his personal bravery.

Joining a Missouri regiment at the beginning of the war. Captain Redd was several times promoted for gallantry and finally appointed aid on the staff of Gen. Joseph Shelby. He was severely wounded in the battle of Wilson's Creek, from which he never fully recovered; but his sufferings through many years never caused him to repine or lose his cheerfulness. At the close of the war he went with his commander to Mexico, where they remained till peace was restored. On his return he declined to take the oath of allegiance and remained to the last an uncompromising, unreconstructed Rebel. Until his health rendered it impossible, Captain Redd was an active worker in the First Presbyterian Church, of which he had been a member for many years. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Kate Frazer, and children, three daughters and a son, the latter a resident of Birmingham, Ala.

He was a member of Company F, 1st Virginia Infantry, before the great war. Upon organization of the 21st Infantry Company F was assigned to that regiment. In 1862 he was elected a lieutenant in Scott's Cavalry Battalion, and served as adjutant with that command during its existence. In a brochure entitled "During the War and After the War," written a few years ago by Colonel Scott, the Colonel says: "There was a gentleman in the battalion who merits a more particular distinction. The adjutant general, Capt. D. J. Burr Reeve, of Richmond, Va., was an officer perfectly suited to that important position. He was a brave, cheerful Scotchman with untiring attention to all the duties which appertained to his office. Intuitively, it seemed, he knew every soldier in the command perfectly, and by a kind of sorcery taught them to respect and love him. Captain Reeve served subsequently as clerk in the commissary department under Maj. William H. Harvie, who was generally on duty with Captain Cole at General Lee's headquarters until the end of the war."After the war Captain Reeve remained a few years in Virginia, but removed in 1868 to Henderson, Ky., where he and his brother, John James Reeve, embarked in the tobacco business. He was married there in 1872 to Miss Lucy H. Hopkins and lived in his Kentucky home till the day of his death, loved as a stanch friend, honored as a business man of absolute integrity, and revered for his purity of character and faithful, conscientious performance of all life's duties. He was a prominent and devoted member of the First Presbyterian Church, of which he was first elected a deacon and then an elder, and was a zealous worker in the Sunday school.

He was buried at Natchez, Miss., Oct.19th. His comrades throughout the South will learn this news with sorrow. He resided at Clayton, La. The month of August, 1861, will be remembered as long as there is one of his brave companions this side “the river,” for it was in that month when the steamer Mary E.Keene left St.Joseph, La. for Memphis, Tenn., with the Tensas Cavalry on board, nearly one hundred strong, of the best blood of our Southland. In Sept. this company became Co.A-of Wirt Adams’s Regt. Of Confederate Cavalry. The command was sent at once to Bowling Green, Ky., to the army of that immortal leader, Gen.Albert Sidney Johnston. This gallant regiment did active and nobel service from Bowling Green by way of Nashville, Murfreesboro, Shelbyville, and other points to the field of Shiloh. At Shiloh and Corinth its bravery was fiercely tested. It operated in North Mississippi till the autumn of 1862, when the company was transferred to the Trans-Mississippi Dept.. (by orders from the Secr. Of War). Then it became Co.A-3rd Louisiana Cavalry. Col.Harrison was in command of the brigade to which the regiment was attached, and while he ws in command, Capt.Register acted as adjutant of the regiment. His bravery and official conduct made him a favorite with the command.

Vol.17,1909 Rogers, Thomas L.-Text:Vol.17,1909- Thomas L. Rogers, of Pawhuska, Okla., who was a Confederate soldier under General Stan Watie, died on the 1st of January, 1909, aged seventy one years. He was the first lieutenant under Captain Butler, joining the Confederate army at Denmark, Ind. T., in 1861, and serving throughout the war with much credit. He was a mixed blood Cherokee Indian, and very prominent in Indian matters after the war, He was an active member of the Masonic Fraternity, being a thirty second degree Mason, and his funeral was conducted with Masonic ceremonies. The funeral procession was led by ex Confederate and ex Union soldiers. To his death he retained the love of the Confederacy, and it was his pride to don the suit of Confederate gray which he always kept on hand. His friends were loyal, and general sorrow has been felt over his death. His life after the war reflected honor and credit upon the cause for which he fought. notonfag Rogers, William James-Text:On the 9th of January William J. Rogers breathed his last at the home of his son, Charles P. Rogers, at DeLong Terrace, Lexington, Ky., aged sixty five years. The interment was at Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, Ky. He is survived by two sons, Messrs. Charles P. and J. Will Rogers, of Lexington. Comrade Rogers was a soldier of the Civil War, he and a younger brother, John (now Judge Rogers, of the Federal court in Arkansas), having enlisted in March, 1862, at Canton, Miss., in the Semmes Rifles, commanded by Capt. Hugh Love. This company soon after became Company H, 9th Mississippi Regiment Infantry, Chalmers's Brigade, Army of Tennessee. Both brothers were wounded at Munfordville, Ky., and W, J. Rogers was sent North to prison. After being exchanged, though disabled for infantry service and discharged, he immediately joined the 1st Mississippi Cavalry, in Armstrong's Brigade, was made orderly sergeant of his company, and served through the war under Wheeler and Forrest. The romance of his life occurred near the spot where he was wounded and captured. The deadly missiles of battle passed over the country home of the "girl he left behind him," Miss Martha L. Lewis, who afterwards became his wife and the mother of his children. Though bereft of her by death for more than thirty years, his last thoughts were of this beloved companion of his early manhood, and her name was among the last on his lips. notonfag Rollins, John Thomas-Text:Vol.20,1912- John Thomas Rollins, of Blackburn, Mo., died October 28, 1911. He was born in Shelby County, Ky., June 23, 1838, and moved to Missouri in 1856. In 1861 he joined the Missouri State Guards. He served in that command until discharged by the expiration of that service. Comrade Rollins, who was a corporal, joined the Confederate army in August, i86a, as a member of Company D, 1st Missouri Cavalry, Shelby's Brigade. While General Marmaduke commanded the division, Shelby's Brigade being part of it, he took the company to which Rollins belonged for his escort, and the company was known as Marmaduke's Escort a greater part of the time until the close of the war. Comrade Rollins was one of the best soldiers in the company. He was quiet, but always went in when fighting was to be done and stayed until it was over. He was very popular in the company, always ready to divide anything he might have with comrades. He was married to Miss Martha Hays, of Saline County, Mo., a short time before the war. Four children were born to this union, three of whom are living: Samuel R., living in Colorado, Mrs. Marvin Davis, of Sweet Springs, Mo., and Mrs. John Martin, Blackburn, Mo. Mrs. Rollins died some twenty years ago. Comrade Rollins was buried at Pisgah Cemetery by the hide of his wife and near several of his comrades in arms, there to await the sound of the call of Gabriel's trumpet calling him to his home above for which he was so well prepared to go. [The above sketch is from W. C. Hall, of Sweet Springs, Mo.]-notonfag Ross, Edward Baker, Captain-Text: Vol. 20, 1912- Capt. Edward Barker Ross was born in Todd County, Ky. March 5, 1840, and died December 7, 1911. His father, James Ross, was one of the most scholarly men of the time, being well educated in both Latin and Greek, and he was conversant with the general literature of his day. His book, "The Life and Times of Elder Reuben Ross," is a faithful history of his father, a pioneer Baptist preacher of that country, and it is also an excellent interpretation of the men and women of those early times. This truly great book is in style and quaintness of humor charmingly original. Though born in Kentucky, Captain Ross was reared on a farm near the State line in Tennessee, where he lived and died. He received his education on the farm at his father's school for boys, his college period occurring while he was a Confederate soldier. He and his three brothers all enlisted in the army and served to the close of the war, save Col. Reuben Ross, who was killed early in the service at Hopkinsville, Ky. So distinguished was the latter's service at Fort Donelson that the Confederate authorities requested his promotion to brigadier general, but owing to his early death the commission was not executed. Captain Ross enlisted July 20, 1861, in Company K, 3d Kentucky Infantry, organized by Col. Lloyd Tilghman. He was third lieutenant in Captain Barnett's company, and made a fine record 'as a soldier. Gentle and brave, he won both the admiration and the affection of his men, who always followed his lead. His regiment was at Bowling Green under Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, following in the retreat, and was in the carnage at Shiloh. Early Sunday morning, the first day of that battle, he was wounded, had his wound dressed, and went back at once to the front and fought to the end of the second day. Again in the first siege of Vicksburg he showed the same fighting spirit. After the Arkansas Ram had successfully executed its daring feat in breaking through the Federal chain of forty vessels, disabling three or four of them and losing ten or twelve of her men, a call for volunteers was made to take the places of her killed and wounded. Captain Ross was among the first to step forward as a volunteer for this dangerous service. In April, 1863, after General Grierson had made the most successful raid ever made by the Federals, marching through Tennessee and Mississippi to Baton Rouge, several companies of the 3d Kentucky were mounted in order to intercept similar raids. As mounted infantry Captain Ross's company covered the retreat of Gregg's Brigade from the battle of Raymond, Miss., where this brigade had fought one of Grant's army corps practically from sunrise to sunset. Not the charge of the Light Brigade nor Pickett's still more famous charge at Gettysburg is more glorious than the heroic fighting of Gregg's Brigade at Raymond. Some two months later this mounted infantry were ordered to give up their horses and take their places in the infantry service. About fifty men refused to be dismounted and left for their homes in Western Kentucky. General Buford selected Captain Ross as the man best suited to send after these men with instructions to persuade them to return to their commands or to hold them together and act independently, reporting to him once a month. These men were brave soldiers, but they claimed that as the term of their enlistment had expired they had the right to reenlist where they pleased. The authorities thought differently, hence the trouble. Captain Ross did not succeed in persuading them to come back, but he held them together and added new recruits and made it so uncomfortable for the Federal forces at Paducah that they dared not send out small raiding forces in the adjacent country. In this way Captain Ross was of great service to all the country between Paducah and Mayfield, besides aiding our armies in procuring supplies from that rich farming section. After he had accomplished all that could be done on this mission, he returned to his company at Paris, Tenn. He was with Forrest at the capture of Johnsonville, and it was he, Capt. H. Clay Horn, and the gallant Capt. Frank Gracey, of Clarksville, Tenn., who first attempted the crossing of the river on an improvised raft to capture and bring over the Federal transport, the Mazeppa, which had been disabled by the Confederate batteries. The raft breaking to pieces, immersing all three, the gallant Gracey stripped his clothes and, tying them and his pistols around his neck, threw one arm over one log of the raft, and thus got across the river and captured the vessel. When General Hood was on his way to Franklin, Tenn., General Lyon was sent to make a diversion on a raid into Kentucky, and Captain Ross went on this raid. General Lyon went as far north as Elizabethtown and captured there a whole train of provisions. But finding himself completely surrounded by the enemy, he gave orders to his men to get back South as best they could. Captain Ross and four of his men were captured by a large force of the enemy just as he was pushing off from the bank of Green River. This was about December 24, 1864. He was carried to Camp Chase Prison, where he suffered terribly from cold and hunger until he was exchanged about the middle of March, 1865. As soon as Captain Ross was exchanged at Richmond he went back to his regiment, and remained with it until the surrender at Gainesville, Ala., on May 9, 1865. A comrade has-p.177 Confederate Veteran April 1912 -written of him: "When I saw him after his captivity, he was just as hopeful and determined to continue fighting as at the beginning of the war. He never gave up, and would have fought alt his life had the war continued so long." Returning home from the war. Captain Ross was not cast clown nor disheartened by defeat, but with tireless energy and with that buoyant hopefulness which never deserted him he took the management of his father's farm and assisted him in teaching. He soon became a successful farmer. In October, 1870, Captain Ross married Dorothea Crouch, a refined and cultured lady, who survives him. To this union were born six children, four daughters and two sons, all of whom are living and are worthy sons and daughters of their honored father. In 1880 Captain Ross engaged in the tobacco business in connection with his farm, building a stemming factory and putting up strips for the English market. So careful and so honest was he in all his work in this business that when he visited England to look after his tobacco business, those merchant princes, the Giliots and the Babingtons, one a member of Parliament and governor of the Bank of England, entertained him in their homes during his entire stay. He took a deep interest in all that concerned his neighborhood. He got up a Good Roads Club and induced all his neighbors to join in building one to the Clarksville Pike. While stationed at Holly Springs during the war he became a member of the Episcopal Church, and from that time was ever a true follower of Christ. There being no church near enough for the family to attend, he threw his whole energy into the matter of having one built, interesting the community in the enterprise, and within a few months had built the little country church which is a lasting monument to his name. For several years he taught in the Sunday school, never failing to attend, and doing everything in the capacity of a layman that he could. His little church being too poor to employ a minister, he took orders in the Episcopal Church and became a regular minister, although against his inclination, but it was an emergency. Though burdened with large business activity, he always had time to visit the sick, to console the distressed, and to cheer the despondent. Stricken by a fatal malady eight years before he died, he was still the same cheerful, self denying man, lightening his own heavy burdens by sharing those of others. He never was a truer soldier of the cross than when he was an invalid and waiting for his end. notonfag Rowe, John Staley-Text: John Staley Rowe, son of William Jefferson and Caroline Ruth Rowe, was born at Rowesville, S. C., in February, 1842, and died on the 11th of September, 1910, at his home, near Orangeburg, S. C. He was educated at Pine Ridge Academy and at Natchez, Miss., and was a member of the Lake Providence Cadets, Company B, 4th Louisiana Regiment, under R. J. Barrow as colonel and Dr. Francis Witcher as captain. Comrade Rowe took part in the battles of Shiloh, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, Jackson, Miss., in all the engagements of Johnston's army from Dalton to Atlanta, in Hood's army on the Tennessee campaign, and in the battles of Franklin and Nashville, Tenn. He was then assistant brigade commissary of Quarles's Brigade, and was paroled at the mouth of White River, Ark., on the 1st of June, 1865, having been for four years and two months in the army. He returned to South Carolina, and was happily married to his cousin, Miss Mary Augusta Kumff, in February, 1867.

John George Ryan, of Chicago, who was a steadfast friend of the VETERAN and to our Confederate Cause, died suddenly last May (6th,) and attention in these columns should have been given before to the sad event. The Press Eagle, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, has a fine sketch of his career, with a good picture. Col. Ryan was a brother of Gen. W. A. C. Ryan, who led the Americans in Cuba at the time of the Virginius Massacre, and was one of the fifty three victims murdered in Santiago de Cuba, November 4, 1872, by the Spanish officials. Col. Ryan was a hero in the Confederate war, and was true to his people to the end. He had intimate press associates in Arkansas who bear beautiful testimony to his high character. Safford, James M., Prof./Dr.-Text [Tribute by Prof. A. H. Buchanan, Lebanon, Tenn.] One of earth's noblemen is gone, in person only, in spirit. never. His impress on students and friends goes down to coming ages. He was the true Christian gentleman, he leaves no associate behind whom he has not helped and elevated. Fifty four years ago he was my teacher, and years after was my associate in Cumberland University, and always our friendship was that of brothers. No one out of his family had a better right or chance to know him than I, and nobody has knowledge of a truer man. Our spheres of work were along different lines, though tangent in many points in which we were mutually interested, and two students never enjoyed working together in search of hidden truths more than we for many years. Few men ever realized more fully the words of the "wise man:" "That which is, is far off and exceeding deep, who can find it out?" And no one enjoyed searching to find it more than he. The thought comes that when my time comes to follow him he will meet me with the old remark: "Well [calling me by name], we will investigate this mystery together and to the bottom." Patience and painstaking accuracy were personified in him. Few men did more hard work. No servant of his Tennessee has ever done for her more valuable work and for smaller pay. He was not a man that lived to look after his pay vouchers, and no State ever realized more its full value in return. Some State officers have attained their reputation almost entirely upon his work and without giving him due credit. And those who continue in his line of State work will find little to do except in the way of appendices to his. Such a man makes one think more of life and the joys of its work. Happy good cheer always, a pleasant word for every one, a handshake that vibrated all the springs of joy that were found in you or induced them if not found. One of the saddest breaks in my life was when he left our university for Vanderbilt, his last long field of labor. He was a Christian that lived the truth of his Christianity, a Church member who was all membership meant, a citizen that stood for the only true citizenship, and a friend that let you read all that was in his big heart. Gone ? Yes and no the answer the thousands he has helped to make. The grandest funeral oration ever delivered was that by God himself, when he said, "Moses, my servant, is dead, now therefore arise, go," etc. This is the summation of all in the case of this life and the same admonition to those left behind. Peace to his memory.

He was the son of Dr. David Sanders and a daughter of Benjamin Dulaney, of Maryland, and was born on Richland Plantations, Holmes County, Miss. He served on the staff of General French, and was in many battles in the War between the States, including those between Cumberland Gap and the Mississippi River. He was also at Shiloh, Chickamauga, Murfreesboro, and Missionary Ridge. He graduated at Chapel Hill, N.

Later Major Sanders established his practice of law in Lexington, Ky., coming into prominence through his service as chief counsel for the Kentucky Lottery Company, which he defended with the assistance of John G. Carlisle. Major Sanders had been counsel in some of the largest law cases of Kentucky. His daughter only survives him. Governor Noel, of Mississippi, is a nephew of Major Sanders, and received his legal education in his office.He was from the beginning an ardent friend of the VETERAN, and his marvelous memory of detail in the war caused his counsel to be sought on many occasions.

Enlisting at the beginning of the war, he was a lieutenant in Company D, 49th Tennessee Infantry, and he shared in all the service of the regiment until he was disabled by a severe wound in the battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864. He was my messmate for over a year, and I can bear testimony to the excellencies of his character. He was modest, gentle, kind, and brave as a lion. He never shirked a duty, however hard or dangerous. After the war he married and settled on a farm near where he was born, and for forty five years he was as faithful in all the duties of citizenship as he had been in service as a soldier, He was for more than fifty years a member of the Southern Methodist Church, and a consistent Christian. Mr. Sanders was born November 3, 1839. He leaves his wife, a son (Len Sanders), and a daughter (Mrs. Clara Holley) living in Dickson County. Every one of his comrades will indorse this testimony. He was a true, honest, brave, kind man. As soldier, citizen, and Christian he was faithful to every duty. [Brief sketch by Rev. James H.

After graduating with distinction at the Spring Hill College, near Mobile, he entered the cotton warehouse business in Mobile and was eminently successful. About two years prior to the War between the States he consented to give, even to the detriment of his business, military instruction to the senior students of his old Alma Mater, Spring Hill College, which he continued up to the breaking out of the war. When Alabama passed the ordinance of secession Capt. Sands offered the services of the Mobile cadets to the Confederacy, and they were mustered in as Company A, Third Alabama Infantry. They were sent to Virginia, and became a part of Mahone's Brigade. Afterwards, in 1862, they were in Battle's Brigade, Rodes's Division, Stonewall Jackson's Corps. After the battle of Seven Pines Capt. Sands was promoted to major, and shortly after to lieutenant colonel of his regiment, which he commanded in most of the principal engagements participated in by the Army of Northern Virginia, from Seven Pines up to August 20, 1864, when ill health compelled him to accept retirement on the invalid corps until March, 1865, when he was ordered to Talladega, Ala., as commander of the camp of instruction at that point, and was there paroled at the close of the war. notonfag Sandusky, Granville Cecil, Dr..-Text:.The death of Dr. G.

Although seventy years of age, he was until a brief while previous in excellent health, indeed, he and his family of sons and daughters were all nobly developed. Dr. Sandusky was of unusual mental ability and noted for his devotion to principle. He served in the Confederate army from Kentucky, and was one of the South's truest heroes. A thrilling experience of his in an East Tennessee campaign was published in the Veteran a few years ago. A note from his diary, kept during the war, states: "Was promoted to lieutenant colonel, Third Confederate Cavalry, September 14, 1863 " But it seems that his commission was never received. Dr. Sandusky was a close Bible student and a Baptist minister. He took active interest in public matters. He and his faithful wife, who was Miss Ellen T.

He practiced his profession at Owensboro, Ky., until 1875, when he came to Sherman, Texas, where he resided until his death. He was a brother of Dr.Preston B.Scott, who died some years ago in Louisville, Ky. Dr.Scott was a man of classical education and unimpeachable private character. His even temperament and jovial disposition prompted him always to meet every one with true and gentle politeness and a smile that portrayed that geniality of soul which stamped him as one who loved his fellow men.

Private Clay Stacker then volunteered as one of an escort of fifty to Gen. J. C. Breckinridge under the command of W. C. P. Breckinridge. On leaving Washington, Ga., Gen. J. C. Breckinridge was informed that a battalion of two hundred and fifty Union soldiers were just down the road under Major Andrews. Clay Stacker, then a beardless boy, was sent with a flag of truce requesting that they be allowed to "go in peace," that the Confederates had no desire to molest Andrews's men. "The request was refused, and an "unconditional surrender" was demanded. Breckinridge replied: "You have my ultimatum." Clay Stacker delivered this message, and Andrews's reply was: "Go in peace."Whether in Georgia a tried soldier or in Virginia as a college boy in the battle of New Market, Clay Stacker knew his duty. Our Maj. Clay Stacker, the patriotic, unselfish, sober minded man and Christian gentleman, leaves as a priceless heritage to his children the cross of honor of the Confederacy and a bronze medal for special gallantry at New Market.

To his surviving comrades the recollections of the deeds and virtues of Comrade John Holmes Smith are an inspiration and a source of great pride. They knew him on the march, in the bivouac, and upon the fields of many battles, and testify that he was ever the courageous commander, the courteous comrade, and the faithful friend. His acts and his words endeared him to every one with whom he was associated. Captain Smith commanded the Co.G-11th Virginia Regiment of Infantry, C. S. A., in several battles and for many months. At Gettysburg, despite a wound, after the regimental officers were shot, he assumed command and led the regiment into the works of the Federal army. In the battle of Drury's Bluff, where his senior officers were again wounded, he placed himself at the head of the same regiment and went over the entrenchments of the enemy, where were captured the Federal General Heckman and many of the Massachusetts Brigade with several stands of colors. From the beginning to the end he helped to make that history, and campaigned and fought in four States, shedding his blood more than once and being permanently disabled. Garland Rodes Camp, Confederate Veterans, therefore with just pride remembers John Holmes Smith as a splendid soldier, as a beloved comrade, and estimates him as a true man and an honored and worthy fellow citizen.

Dr.Snow was one of the first to respond to the call of the South in ‘61, and he formed the first Texas Regiment of infantry-it was part of J.B.Hood’s Brigade. Dr. Snow was an active participant in the seven days’ battles around Richmond, as First Lieutenant of his company. He received two wounds which disabled him for further field service. He returned to his childhood home near Oxford, Alabama, respected by all for his devotion to principle. He died suddenly April 10th, ‘94. Confederate Veteran:v.3, p.88.

Death came to him on October 8, 1910, while he was driving alone from his home to Brooksville, where he was to make arrangements for himself and wife to take a Western trip in search of health and recreation. He left a handsome estate which he acquired. Captain Snowden enlisted in the first company that left Aberdeen, the "Vandorn Reserves," which became Company F of the famous 11th Mississippi, Davis's Brigade. He participated in all the battles of his regiment, receiving his baptismal fire at Seven Pines, fought through the seven days about Richmond, Second Manassas, and at Sharpsburg, where he was desperately wounded, his regiment losing every field officer in the engagement. He had been made orderly sergeant soon after enlisting, and filled this arduous position so well that he had the honor of leading the company as captain in the famous charge that the brigade made with the gallant Pickett on that fatal day at Gettysburg. Out of four hundred and forty six privates and twenty two officers who went in the fight, only ninety privates and two officers came out living and unhurt. He was seriously wounded while leading his company, and was captured and taken to Johnson's Island, where he endured prison horrors until the surrender. Captain Snowden was married soon after the war to a Miss Henson, who lived only a short while, leaving one daughter, Mrs. Dr. Crease, of Bakersfield, Cal. In 1875 he married Miss Mollie Bush, who was his guiding spirit for eighteen years, and then he was left again to fight the battle of life alone. Two daughters had blessed this union, who are now Mrs. J. S. Cavett and Mrs. A. Mcintosh, of Noxubee County, Miss. His surviving wife was Mrs. Will Hodges, who was his loving companion and helpmeet and a fond mother to his orphan children. He was a man respected and loved by all who knew him, and leaves a name of priceless worth. notonfag Spears, Watt-Text: H. H.

In his veins flowed the blood of those heroes in America who were the first to resist the tyranny of Great Britain, and who under Herman Husbands fought the battle of Alimanco, May 16, 1771, and changed Cornwallis's victorious advance to a hasty retreat at Guilford C. H. This soil enriched by martyrs' blood produced brave men, worthy sons of noble sires, and in the gage of battle between the North and South these sons were early marshaled beneath the folds of the stars and bars. Comrade Spencer served with Company F, 46th North Carolina Regiment, from its organization, in March, 1862, to the end at Appomattox. He attained the rank of first lieutenant. Endowed with a bright mind, a cheerful disposition, unfailing humor, and a courageous soul, he was a universal favorite with his comrades, and by his exalted sense of duty and devotion he attracted their attention and commanded their respect and confidence. He was in many of Gen. Lee's great battles except Gettysburg, Cook's Brigade being held to protect Richmond. No regiment went beyond the 46th on the battlefield, and its flag was never lowered until the curtain went down on the last act of that great drama on the 9th of April, 1865. He bore bravely the agony of defeat, and with tears for the friends left on numberless battlefields he turned his face to the future, trusting in the God who had brought him safely through the dangers of those years of war, and with his surviving comrades began to build up the impoverished South. He engaged in merchandising, in which he was very successful.For forty eight years Comrade Spencer was a member of the Church, and at his death there passed one who had lived . not for this life alone. notonfag Spencer, Jefferson Columbus-Text: Jefferson Columbus Spencer, born September 13, 1842, in Chester County, Miss., and removed to Texas when but nine years of age, died at his home, in Thornton, Tex., on January 30, 1908.

His service was as a sharpshooter, and he was thus extraordinarily exposed in his duties. His army life was noted for his attention to religious duties, as he kept up a prayer meeting all the time, and his only absence from roll call was once when attending divine services.

He was a member of Forrest’s 1st Kentucky Cavalry; but later was with Morgan’s command, and was captured during the famous Ohio raid. Some will yet remember the little boy with his “flag of truce: who “hailed and captured” the Yankee gunboats on the Ohio River, ever after bearing the name of “White Pidgeon.” He escaped from prison twice, but was recaptured; and when he finally emerged from prison walls, within which he had suffered ‘injuries, cold, and starvation, he was but a shadow of himself. Whether in prison walls or on the forced march, hungry and footsore, he was always cheerful; and in the memorable fights in which he participated he was among the bravest. When the end came, the same courage which animated him to deeds of valor on the field of battle nerved and sustained him during the dark days of reconstruction and on to the end. Subsequent to the war Mr.Stanfield resided in Henderson, Ky.; but removed to Hopkinsville, and in 1878 was married to Miss Reba “Gabe” Hamill. He came to Nashville in 1898, and died in that city on the 11th of Oct., 1905, leaving a widow and four children, Clare b.1870, Daisy b.1870, Jesse b.1870, and Kenneth b.1885 per Schultz-Stanfield Family Tree.

Colonel Stewart was educated in the University of Virginia. In 1859 be engaged in State military service, and in April, 1861, he engaged in the Confederate service. In March, 1862, he commanded a rifle battery at Seawall's Point during the time that the Virginia (Merrimac) did its famous work against the Monitor and other vessels. Later he served in the 6ist Virginia Infantry, became its lieutenant colonel, and participated in its many important engagements, including Rappahannock Bridge, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Brandy Station, Mine Run, the Wilderness, Shady Grove, and Spottsylvania. He commanded the brigade picket line at Hagerstown following Gettysburg, and after his promotion to lieutenant colonel he commanded his regiment until the close of the war in the battles of North Anna River, Hanover Courthouse, Reams's Station, the Crater, Davis's Farm, Burgess's Mill, Hatcher's Run, Amelia Courthouse, and finally at Appomattox Courthouse. After the war Colonel Stewart resumed the practice of law at Portsmouth. He held the offices of commonwealth attorney and commissioner in chancery. He was also prominently connected with the journalism of Norfolk and Portsmouth. He is the author of an exceedingly graphic account of the desperate battle of the Crater, in which he was a distinguished participant. One of the last works of Colonel Stew art was the publication of "A Pair of Blankets." The book is dedicated to some nephews. In that he gives perhaps the most satisfactory account yet published of the great naval battle between the Merrimac and the Monitor. Persons interested in this book may address Mrs. Stewart at Portsmouth, Va. Colonel Stewart was probably the best known citizen of Portsmouth. He was a veteran of the War of the States, and since the war had written many historical papers. He was engaged in newspaper work for a time and was Portsmouth-p.339 Confederate Veteran July 1912-city editor of the Norfolk Landrnark. He was also editor of the Portsmouth Daily Times, resigning in 1880. He was a Vice President and director of the Portsmouth Street Railway Company and President and director of the Fort Norfolk Electric Railway from its organization until April, 1897 Colonel Stewart was twice married. His first wife was Miss Annie Wright Stubbs, of Portsmouth, and one son, Dr. Robert Armistead Stewart, survives from this union.

He was a member of the State Board of Visitors of Mount Vernon in 1898. His oration on Matthew Fountain Maury was regarded as one of the finest utterances on that famous navigator ever delivered. He conceived the idea of the United Confederate Choirs of America and was instrumental in its organization. An editorial in the Portsmouth Star states: "The city he loved so well, the State and the South to whose defense in time of war and for whose honor and glory he strove with tongue and pen so many, many years mourn the loss of a. noble son, a useful citizen, a perfect and lovable gentleman. His work will enrich the minds and hearts of those who are yet to do their part in the great work of bringing the South into her own. His contribution to history will be of incalculable value in establishing the truth regarding many important matters vitally affecting our Southern country. His devotion to the true ideals of the South was passionate and beautiful. He loved Virginia as a man loves his flesh and blood, and by printed word and eloquent speech on m my platforms he extolled the glory and devotion of the men who made the South. His record as a soldier was one of duty well done, of lionhearted courage in time of supremest trial, of dashing gallantry in action, and uncomplaining fortitude amid the privations of the camp.

B. Stone, which occurred on Governor's Island, N. Y., of pneumonia, before the news of his illness had been received by his mother in Galveston. Harry B. Stone was born in Liberty, Tex., April 30, 1872, but grew to early manhood in Galveston. When but twelve years of age he attended the Bingham Military School at Asheville, N. C., and afterwards was prepared for college at the school of Mr. Abbott at Bellevue, Va. He then entered Washington and Lee University, at Lexington. from which he went to the Medical Department of the University of Philadelphia, later continuing his study of medicine at the University of Virginia. He took his degree after the prescribed course at the Medical College of the University of Texas, graduating in 1899. He also spent a year at the Polyclinic School of New York City, which was founded by Dr. John A. Wyeth, giving special study to the diseases of children. He first opened an office at Macon, Ga., and pursued general practice until entering the hospital corps of the United States army in 1901. He was assigned to duty in the Philippines for three years, after which he returned to Galveston and entered into general practice there. Shortly after his return he was appointed by the Board of City Commissioners as quarantine officer, with headquarters at Virginia Point, to guard the city of Galveston against the entrance of yellow fever from the then infected cities of Mobile, New Orleans, and others. He was there for several months, then resumed his general practice in Galveston. Last spring he returned to New York City and entered the Eye and Ear Infirmary for special study. After finishing his course, he found his inclination toward army life still strong, and he reenlisted in the hospital corps, and after a few weeks in the service was taken with a fatal case of pneumonia. His grandfather, Edward Thomas Branch, was one of the founders of the republic of Texas, and under that republic was a member of Congress and one of the judges constituting its Supreme Court. He also drew up the first homestead law. His father, Henry Clay Stone, was for many years a member of the well known firm in Galveston of Skinner & Stone. The burial of Dr. Stone was at Liberty, the place of his birth, on the 30th of March, attended by a large concourse of friends and acquaintances. Deep sympathy was manifested for the bereaved mother, who had so tenderly watched this son grow into manhood, so finely equipped for life's battle, and upon whose strong arm she had hoped to lean in declining years. Many thousands of Daughters throughout the South will feel poignant sorrow and sympathy for Mrs. Stone in the loss of this only son. In passing through Houston for the burial place at Liberty, Tex., on March 30 the funeral cortege was met by various patriotic and literary clubs, who showed deep sympathy for Mrs. Stone in the loss of her only child. A delegation from the R. E. Lee Chapter met her to express their sincere sympathy. The following ladies were detailed to speak for the Chapter: Mrs. M. E. Bryan (President), Mesdames Seabrook Sydnor, T. R. Franklin, Philip H. Fall, R. E. Luhn, T. L. Dunn, J. F. Burton,R. E. Patterson.The Daughters of the Republic, San Jacinto Chapter, and others sent many beautiful floral tributes, and Mrs. Marie Bennet Urwitz paid beautiful tribute to Mrs. Stone as a member and officer of the Chapter. Stone, William James-Text:This tribute is by Rev. N. B. Hogan, Springfield, Mo.: "William James Stone was a son of William H.

Foster, of Spottsylvania County, on June 18, 1862, and his death occurred on June 17, 1903. just a day before their forty first anniversary of married life. His wife, four daughters, and eight sons survive him. At the commencement of the War between the States, Comrade Stone enlisted in Company T, Sixth Virginia Cavalry, and served with distinguished gallantry throughout the bloody contest, and was promoted on the field for bravery and daring just after the battle of Strasburg. After some hard fighting, our forces, under Gen. Early, had been repulsed. The flag bearer, Ed. Wright, was killed, and as he fell from his horse Comrade Stone caught the flag. Waving it above him, he begged the retreating men to rally by their flag, and the fight was won. For this he was promoted to Captain. In 1868 Comrade Stone located with his family on a tract of land near Sparta, Mo., removing thence to Springfield just a few years prior to his death. After the religious services of his funeral, Campbell Camp took charge and laid him to rest among the departed comrades in the beautiful Confederate Cemetery near the city."

W. M. Strickland, patriot and soldier, after years of suffering borne with that fortitude which characterized him in all the trials of a life whereon the shadows often rested, heard "the one clear call" on March 4, 1908, and went to "the Master of all good workmen" with a record of brave and fruitful service, valuable alike in war and in peace. William Matthew Strickland was born near Raleigh, N. C., January l, 1823. His father, Matthew Strickland, moved to Panola County, Miss., in 1837. Later Major Strickland went to Holly Springs, where he continued to reside for half a century, a citizen beloved and honored. He studied law with the late Judge James F. Trotter in 1847, and the following year entered the law office of Watson & Clapp, afterwards becoming the junior member of the firm of Clapp & Strickland. The early recognition of the talent of the young attorney by such men as Judge J. W. C. Watson, one of the leading chancery lawyers of the South, and Hon. J. W. Clapp, eminent jurist and Congressman, gave him foremost rank at the bar, a position which his ability and learning maintained thereafter. When the dread war cloud burst over the Southland, Major Strickland responded at once to his country's call. Entering as a young sergeant in the Jeff Davis Rifles, a company in the first volunteer regiment of Mississippi, under Col. Christopher Haynes Mott, he rose rapidly in military service, and at the-(531 Confederate Veteran October 1908)-close of the war bore the rank of major promotions that speak at once for his valor and efficiency. He was a close friend of President Davis, whose guest and host he frequently was. When Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston was killed at Shiloh, the remains were placed in Captain Strickland's office at Corinth until sent to New Orleans for interment. They were later removed to Austin, Tex. Returning to Holly Springs, he resumed the practice of law, and won laurels for his thorough legal knowledge, honesty, and high purpose. During the days of reconstruction, when tried and true men were needed as they were never before needed in the history of the South, Major Strickland was wise in counsel and quick in action, meeting with brave heart and patriotic devotion every trust imposed upon him. He was an enthusiastic party man, a Jeffersonian Democrat, prominent in all political measures and meetings in town and State. A recognition of the great brotherhood of man kindled his unselfish, enthusiastic interest in fraternal orders, conspicuous among them being the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which in turn did him the highest honor within the State and beyond its borders. The Grand Master of Tennessee wrote: "He was as devoted and true a friend as ever clasped a hand. * * * I shall wear his memory near my heart as an inspiration to higher thought and better deeds." In 1902 a decline in health removed Major Strickland from fields of activity and made him a quiet onlooker for six years before his earthly pilgrimage ended. Major Strickland was twice married. His first wife was Miss Martha Mildred Thompson, daughter of Dr. James M. Thompson. His second wife, who survives him, was Miss Janie Leake, daughter of Col. Francis Terry Leake, whose affluence, liberality, and devotion to the cause made him a potential force in the Confederacy. Major Strickland also leaves five children. Such in brief is the record of a life which gave ready response to human needs and human service an honorable heritage to wife and children. In the more intimate circle of the home, where it was my privilege to know him, Major Strickland met as fully as any man I ever knew those sacred relations of husband and father. His watchful care was manifest everywhere, while his forceful personality was underlined with rare tenderness and sentiment. Such devotion called forth the respect and love it so well merited. Throughout his long and trying illness wife and daughter, possessing all those attributes that are admirable and charming in woman, were as ministering angels, while the sons bore faithfully the responsibilities that had fallen upon them. This devotion knew no weariness in good and in evil days aye, "a growing and abiding love." Loyalty was a marked characteristic of Major Stricklandloyalty to his God, his family, friends, and country, and to all mankind a ready, responsive sympathy. His was essentially a religious nature, abounding in faith, hope, and charity. Though always a true and unquestioned follower of the Master, he did not enlist until the day was far spent, when he was baptized and confirmed in the Episcopal faith. He solved the problem of life rightly, adjusting the prose to the poetry, the sordid to the spiritual, the common and selfish to the high and beneficent. Thus he realized the higher joy of living with a vivid sense of beauty and appreciation as one who stood ever for nobler and better things. A clergyman friend often entertained in his hospitable home writes this simple, forceful eulogy: "It is like the passing of Enoch or Elijah: 'he walked with God, and was not, for God took him,' His wonderful mind seemed so clear, his sweetness and beautiful serenity under his affliction were in a nature so full of vigor and action simply a marvel.

For several months previous to his death he was a great sufferer, hut he bore his sufferings with Christian courage, and was most considerate of those who ministered to him. He was living in Galveston when that State seceded, and Joined the Texas troops that captured Fort Brown, near Brownsville, Tex. In the summer of 1861 he returned to Virginia and joined the Hanover Troop, Company G, 4th Virginia Cavalry, under J. E. B. Stuart, and continued with that company till the end of the war. He was with Stuart on his famous raid around McClelland's army in June, 1862. In the charge at Kelley's Ford he was in the first set of fours on March 17, 1863. His horse was killed under him, and he received two saber cuts and one pistol wound and was taken prisoner. Though suffering greatly from shock and loss of blood, he made his escape early the next morning. This battle was said to be the first in which the Federal cavalry ever crossed sabers with Stuart's Cavalry At the close of the war Mr. Sydnor returned to his native county and engaged in farming. In 1870 he located in Lafayette County, Mo., and except for a few years continued to make that county his home until his death. Six of the Sydnor brothers bore arms for the stars and bars. In the tests of picket, vidette, and scout, as well as on the field, his coolness, courage, and sagacity were conspicuous. Such soldiers have ever been modest while liberal in the praise of others. He accepted the results of the war and met his subsequent civic obligations successfully with courage and intelligence. As a citizen he had high ideals, and ever conducted himself consistently with them, yet his heart was so filled with that charity which "thinketh no evil" that he was one of the last to impute improper motives to others. In his judgment of men and measures he was quick and discriminating, and he always had an open hand for those in need. Measures for the public welfare always commanded his earnest support, yet he was uncompromising in his opposition to unworthy methods. He was cordial, sympathetic, and enjoyed the companionship of his family and of his friends. Indeed, to an unusual degree he enjoyed all of the blessings which God had given him. His wit and humor were delightful, and he was charming with his pen. In 1875 he married Miss Addle L., daughter of Mr. Frank S. Burton, one of the most esteemed citizens of that good county.

James Taylor and his brother Benjamin were both in this battle, Benjamin in the front rank and James in the rear rank. A Minie ball passed through the brain of Benjamin and fell at the feet of his brother. The captain stepped up to James and said: "I cannot say anything to comfort you, but there is your dead brother and there is the enemy." He replied: "Captain, I can fight now."

C., and served as a faithful soldier and gallant officer until his capture at Middleburg. His superior intellect marked him for selection as an officer, and his later conduct amply proved his capacity to execute the trust. He was especially distinguished for his seeming reckless bravery, as can be best illustrated by the circumstance of his capture. It was at Middleburg, and during the heat of the engagement he had become separated from his command, which, for want of ammunition, had surrendered without his knowledge. Riding alone to rejoin his regiment, he was approached by two Federal cavalrymen, who demanded his surrender. With the daring that characterized a Confederate soldier he replied, "Not so long as I have a cartridge in my carbine," and shot down one of his enemies. As he was leveling his carbine on the other, one of his superior officers, riding up, shouted: "Lieutenant Tillitt, surrender!" Tillitt, resting his piece, coolly asked: "Do you advise or command it?" "I command it," was the reply. "Then I obey," answered the lieutenant. Owing to his capture and imprisonment, this was the last order he responded to until, on the 8th of last November, he obeyed the call of his Great Commander and went to rest in the "bivouac of the dead" with a multitude of other brave men who wore the gray.

He was born in Fayette County, Tenn., March 11, 1839, and died in Baird, Tex., February 17, 1910. He was a member of the Memphis Light Dragoons, which he joined May 8, 1861, a month before the State seceded.On August 8 he was detailed to assist in raising Company K, 7th Tennessee Cavalry, in which company he was made sergeant and later promoted to lieutenant. He served in the Western army under Forrest. History reveals that every man who fought with Forrest "did his duty." In 1869 he married Miss Mary Anderson, of Memphis, of which union there were born seven children four girls and three boys all of whom, with the widow, survive. On January 6, 1876, he arrived in Callahan County, Tex., before the State was organized, and in 1877 he was chosen one of its commissioners. A consistent member of the Episcopal Church, he was much interested in Church matters, and in that early day he soon had a congregation. He organized Camp Albert Sidney Johnston No. 654. U. C. V., and for a number of years, until failure of health, he was its chosen Commander. He was a member of General Van Zandt's staff. He had ever been a supporter and champion of the CONFEDERATE VETERAN, and only a few days before his death he asked that a notice of his death be recorded in its columns. The heroic patience displayed by the old soldier during his long sickness showed the result of his four years of discipline in the army. Poor in health, poor in wealth, yet he was rich beyond the wildest dreams of avarice in those qualities which go to make "God's noblest work an honest man." Death to him was like Appomattox to the South he was overpowered. Camp Albert Sidney Johnston No. 654, U, C. V., passed resolutions in his honor which were adopted by a rising vote and signed by U.

Vol.18,1910-notonfag Trousdale, Charles William, Captain Text: Rev. J. H. McNeilly, D. D., who was a Confederate chaplain, writes: Sadly we continue to note the rapid passing away of those noble spirits who a generation ago glorified American manhood by their magnificent defense of the South against overwhelming forces. Among that band of patriots true and tried none was more steadfast than Capt. Charles W. Trousdale, of Gallatin, Tenn. Only a few short months since his brother, the gifted, the pure, the brave Julius Trousdale, was laid to his final rest, as reported in the VETERAN, and now another equally worthy of love and admiration is called to pass over the river by the voice of the Lord of all. His remaining comrades recall in kindly memory his grand personality, and honor him as a faithful soldier, a helpful friend, a true man. Charles W. Trousdale was a son of Gov. William Trousdale, and was heir of the spirit and traditions of a line of brave and patriotic ancestors. The family were noted for their devotion to liberty from the beginning of our national history. They were staunch patriots in the war of the revolution, and Gov. Trousdale was distinguished for gallantry in three wars the second war with England, the Florida campaign against the Indians, and in the Mexican war, in which last he won the rank of brigadier general, and was severely wounded at Chepultepec. Charles Trousdale was thoroughly educated, and was always a student. His mind was cultivated and broadened by extensive travel, and he was familiar with the literary treasures of several languages. His rare modesty concealed the extent of his culture, except from those who knew him well. Gov. Trousdale was appointed Minister to Brazil in 1853, and this son accompanied him. After a year or two in that country he was appointed Secretary of the Legation. Afterwards he spent a considerable time in England, in Paris, and in traveling over Europe. On his return home he studied law and for a while practiced in Memphis, Tenn. Mr. Trousdale understood thoroughly the questions at issue between the States, and at the opening of the civil war he enlisted and was chosen lieutenant in Capt. Griffin's company, from Sumner County. When Capt. Griffin was captured Lieut. Trousdale became captain. He served with distinction until the battle of Chickamauga, where he was terribly wounded, losing a leg. After his recovery he served on staff and post duty to the close of the war. In 1860 he was married to Miss Ellen Odom, daughter of Eli Odom, of Sumner County, a man of high character and of wealth. His wife died several years ago, leaving to his care one daughter, Miss Kate, to whom he was devoted with the intensity of a strong nature. He superintended her education, spending two years of the time with her in Paris. He was in ill health for some time, and on Sunday morning, January 14, 1900, he quietly entered into rest, being sixty one years old. His old comrades, who knew him in circumstances that tried men, well remember that with his large means he was always ready to help a true Confederate indeed, he was noted for his abounding charity, seeking out those who were in need. He was quick to sympathize with those who were in distress. His unbending integrity was one of his most marked characteristics. He sought to do right at any cost, and when he had once determined what was right he could not be turned from it by fear or favor. His sense of honor was keen, and he loathed anything little or mean, a thoroughly magnanimous man. Quiet, modest, unobtrusive, he sought to do his full duty. Those who knew him best will always cherish his memory as of a gentleman without fear and without reproach, as a friend true and sincere, as a man without guile, as a soldier courageous and patriotic. On Monday, January 15, he was buried by the Donelson. Bivouac, of which he was a member. Buried:Gallatin City Cemetery, Gallatin, Tenn.-notonfag Tucker, P. D.-Text:DEATHS IN THE W. B.

In 1861 he enlisted in the 15th Mississippi Regiment, in which he discharged his duty to the close of hostilities. On August 13, 1865, Comrade Tucker was wedded to Miss Aurena Mackey. He took up railroad work as his vocation, and was employed in the shops of Grenada, Miss., up to 1871, when he came to Texas, working in different shops in Southern Texas until two years ago, when his health failed him. He then came to Amarillo to live with his son. Before coming here he was an honored member of J. P. Benjamin Camp, U. C. V., of Kaufman County, afterwards uniting himself with the W. B. Plemons Camp.

He had been confined to his room for the past two months, but for several days preceding the end his condition was thought to be improved, and his death, which was due to heart failure, was unexpected, and a shock to his family and friends. The deceased ws born in Sumner Co, Jun.28,1830, and was educated at Franklin College, near Nashville, Tenn. He afterwards graduated in the Law Dept. of Cumberland Univ., Lebanon, and began the practice of his profession at Springfield. Several years afterwards, he removed to Gallatin, forming a partnership with Col.John W.Head. He at once took a prominent place at the bar, and was considered one of the best and most successful lawyers of the State, being engaged in some of the largest lawsuits that have occurred in Tennessee. At the beginning of the civil war, Col.Turner entered the Confederate army as a major in the 30th Tenn.Regt., mustering out at the close as a lieutenant colonel. During the four years’ conflict he made an enviable record as a brave, gallant soldier, being engaged in many memorable battlers, including Ft.Donelson, Chickamauga, Vicksburg, and Jackson, Miss. He was several times wounded in battle, one shot through the lungs having menaced his health the balance of his life. Col.Turner represented Sumner Co. in the legislature in 1858, and was also a prominent member of the constitutional convention of 1870. He was married in 1854 to Miss Adeline Harper, who died several years ago. She was a descendant of Gen.William Russell, of Revolutionary fame. He is survived by three children, Robert H.Turner, Mrs.Adeline Cherry, and Clarabel Turner.

Plunkett, of Little Rock, who ran away from home to go into the army, and Philip Pegues, of Longview. They served in the 19th Texas most of the war west of the Mississippi, and were in almost every battle with their regiment, surrendering with it at Hempstead, Tex. After the struggle ended, Comrade Tutt returned to his old home at Danville, near Kilgore, Gregg County, and engaged in merchandising and farming. He continued in these avocations for many years, and then moved to Longview. He married in 1868 Miss Cordelia Eliza Jane Warlick. Her death occurred fourteen years ago, since which time he had lived for others, caring for relatives as well as his own family. Richard Hardy Tutt was a firm believer in Christianity. He valued his word, and it was more than life to him. He took the oath of total abstinence years ago, and when urged to take whisky in his last sickness, he said: "I have given my word that I would not drink." He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and said on his deathbed: "If there is a heaven, I know I will get there." His quiet and serious manner, his earnest and simple ways won for him general love and respect. He was one of God's noblest works an honest man.

F. A. Tyler, the most venerable of our veterans, who died in Holly Springs, Miss., January 27, 1902. He was born in Massachusetts of parents tracing their ancestry to the first settlers of America. In the family there have been many eminent in the different professions, hence, he was at an early age imbued with ambitious hopes, and formed a determination to make a record not unworthy of his name. He was a close student, a graduate of Brown University, and chose the law as his profession, but he afterwards became a minister. Journalism, however more congenial to his taste, was his principal occupation. He made his home in different communities, and in every place he was honored and loved for his steady courage, unswerving integrity, loyalty to friends, cordial hospitality, with an unfailing readiness to extend a helping hand to those in distress. Making his home in Vicksburg, Miss., as early as 1835, he was by long residence, marriage, and sentiment thoroughly identified with the interests of the South. When the great war began he wielded his able pen most actively for the land of his adoption and later with his young son, fifteen years of age, left home and family to engage in the struggle with all the enthusiastic ardor of a true Southerner. Unfitted for active duty in the field, he was for a time Inspector General of a Tennessee Regiment. Afterwards he was appointed by Gen. Price to a position in the Quartermaster's Department, where he rendered most efficient service. Just after the surrender an order to arrest Col. Tyler was issued by President Johnson, but it was not enforced. Many profitable lessons might be learned from the unfolded web of this long and useful life, so varied and so full of good and ill fortune. The infirmities of age and ills that could not be avoided he bore with Christian patience. To the end he enjoyed the comfort of a happy home with the loving care of wife and children.

Upon the breaking out of the war in 1861 he volunteered as a soldier in Company E, commanded by his uncle, William Tyree, and was attached to the 22d Regiment. Later on in that great struggle he organized a company of independent rangers, of which he was captain, and with this company he did some very effective service for the Confederacy. Captain Tyree married Miss Sabina Feamster, a sister of Joseph and Col. S. W. N. Feamster, of Fayette County, and of this union seven children one daughter and six sons survive. Captain Tyree had lived in Greenbrier many years, and was well known throughout the county. He was a companionable, whole souled, generous man, ever ready to do a favor or to help the needy.

After the war he remained a few years on his plantation, then continued his practice as a physician until a short time before his death, on July 10, 1909, at his residence on Sicily Island, La. He had been in that section since 1872, and during the reconstruction period he was ever regardless of self in his efforts to redeem his State.

When the war was over and every thing was in confusion, and misrule was rampant, it was Gov. Vance who put things right and saved the State. In the Democratic campaigns for many years he was the central figure, and when it was known that Vance would speak in any corner of the State great crowds would flock to hear him. He was perhaps the funniest man in the Senate before his health became so impaired that he was compelled to be more serious. He was not only funny, but broadminded and solid on the great political questions of the period. He was often invited to speak on important occasions in the North and East, and was ever highly appreciated, and reflected honor upon the "Old North State."

VanMeter, William Cunningham-After a prolonged illness, William C. VanMeter, Christian gentleman and Confederate soldier, on January 31, 1916, heard "the one clear call" and went home "to the Master of all good workmen" with a record for brave and fruitful service both in peace and war. On his father's side he sprang from a sturdy, substantial pioneer stock which had much to do with the settling of the South Branch Valley of the Potomac and which grew into a large and influential family that sent many sons into the Confederate army. On December 22, 1838, very near the site of Old Fort Pleasants, William VanMeter was born and grew to manhood. He never lost his intense love for this spot; and though after the war he lived for some years in Illinois, he returned to this valley and lived again amid the scenes of his boyhood. His last years were spent near Petersburg, Grant County, W. Va., farther up in the same valley. When the men of Virginia were called to arms, William VanMeter first joined the "Hardy Blues." All but twelve of this company were captured at Rich Mountain in the spring of 1861, paroled, and disbanded.' He, though wounded, escaped and soon after joined Company E, 25th Virginia Infantry, in which he served till the close of the war. This company was first organized with the men who escaped capture at Rich Mountain, the membership coming from the Franklin Guards, Pendleton Rifles, South Branch Rifles, and Hardy Blues, and belonged to the 4th Brigade, Ewell's Division, Jackson's Corps, Army of Northern Virginia. William VanMeter was not of that type of soldier that does brilliant, daring deeds, but of that type that presses steadily forward in the face of privation, and doubtless no better soldier followed the immortal Jackson. He was a man singularly free from "envy, malice, and all uncharitableness"; kind, gentle, generous, lovable, always respecting the rights and privileges of others; a man of sterling integrity and stainless Christian character. In youth he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in which he was for years an honored officer and worker. In 1868 he was married to Miss Margaret Chambers, and he is survived by five children, two sons and three daughters. Of his four brothers, three were also brave Confederate soldiers.

Long lines of glittering bayonets were rapidly approaching. He turned toward the river and saw the approach of the gunboats. Looking down the bank, he saw a flatboat containing Confederates pushing out into the river. With strength born of despair, he leaped far out, reached the boat, and escaped by crossing the river. At a farmhouse he found rest, food, and friends. Resting by day and traveling by night, he reached his home, in Henry County.After a few days he mounted a splendid horse which had been presented to him by friends who knew his worth as a true soldier and started on his lonely journey to a distant Texas town to join those of his company who had escaped.

His mother died when he was an infant. His grandfathers on both sides were soldiers of the Revolution. The death of his father, his own ill health, and strained circumstances induced young Waul to leave the South Carolina College before graduating. He declined to take any part of the small atrimony, giving all to his stepmother. He went west on horseback, stopping at Florence, Ala., where he, at the age of seventeen, was made principal of a school. At the end of a year, with strong credentials, he went to Vicksburg, Miss., where he met S.S.Prentiss. The two became fast friends, and young Waul studied law in his office. He made such progress in the law that he was licensed to practice before the Supreme Court of his state, while yet a minor. He resided afterward at Yazoo City, and then at Grenada, where he married Miss Mary Simmons, of Georgia. He succeeded in law and became active in politics. He was elected to the first Confederate congress from Texas, but declined a re-election, having determined to go in the field. He then raised “Waul’s Legion” of 2,000 men. In the siege of Vicksburg, Col. Waul won promotion, and was made Brig.General, after his exchange, in the battles of Mansfield, and Pleasant Hill, La., he so distinguished himself that he was given the command of Walker’s Division, after Gen.

Shortly after the surrender he went to Memphis, Tenn., where he had been in the insurance business for thirty five years, and in addition was President of the People's Savings Bank, Vice President of the Gayoso Oil Works, and a director in the Chickasaw Cooperage Company. Comrade Wellford was as prominent in religious life and Church work as in the business world, while in his private life he was seen at his best.

We will go without you." [It will be remembered that the time and place of this occurrence were much discussed in the VETERAN some years ago, and it is quite evident that at two places perhaps May 6 and 12 quite similar events occurred.] Colonel Wheeler at the time of his death was a retired merchant and banker. He was a man of unusual originality, intellect, and culture, a strong man in the widest sense, a man of sterling integrity and the highest ideals. J. G, Wheeler, born in Marshall County, Ala., March 13, 1834, came to Texas in 1854 with his mother and brother and settled in Hays County, Tex. At the beginning of the war he was editing a paper at La Grange, Tex., but closed the paper and went with the Terry Rangers to Kentucky. He was attacked with pneumonia and discharged from the army, so severe was his illness, and came home and remained till the following June, when he went to Virginia and joined Hood's Brigade. He participated in many battles there, including that of the Wilderness, in which he lost his left arm. After the war he returned to Texas, and at the first election in Travis County after the war he was elected to the office of County Clerk, from which office he was removed under the reconstruction laws, shortly after which he built a storehouse where Manor is now located, and the post office was known as Wheeler's store. He lived at Manor from that time until his death. In 1867 he was married to Miss Maggie Brown, of Bexar County, Tex. By this marriage they had ten children.

He was seventy two years of age, and was born near Waverly. In 1857 he moved to Texas and settled at McKinney. He was engaged in mercantile business until the breaking out of the war, when at the sound of the call to arms he was among the first to respond, and no braver soldier ever faced an enemy that "Cope" White. Gallant and courageous, he was ever in the thickest of the fray. He was indeed "brave as a lion and charitable to a fault." In the battle of Thompson's Station, Tenn., he was shot through the breast and well nigh fatally wounded. He was second lieutenant of Thockmorton's company, Ross's Brigade, and maintained the esteem of all who knew him. After the knell of the Confederacy he returned to McKinney, where he resumed the mercantile business and also began the study of law, being admitted to the bar in 1871, after which time he has successfully and amiably practiced his profession, it being said of him that in the law he never committed one act that was susceptible of criticism upon the part of his opponent. He was the first man in Collin County during reconstruction days to defeat a Republican for office, being elected county judge. During his long residence in McKinney he was mayor and treasurer, besides holding many offices of public trust. He was administrator and guardian of many estates, serving in all honestly and sincerely. His broad and patriotic heart ever beat with generous impulses and tender sympathies. No charitable object called upon him in vain, no friend in need was ever denied his assistance. He had three brothers in the service (D. H. White, brigade quartermaster under Gen. Forrest, F. M. White, in the same command: while Capt. W. J. White served in the infantry, G. W. Gordon's Brigade) all of whom surrendered with their commands.

Davis's 4th Tennessee Battalion, the other companies of which were commanded by Captains Nichols, Wiley, and Phillips. Comrade Whitescarver was soon elected first sergeant of his company, and remained in that position until the flag was furled at Greensboro, N. C. It can be truthfully said of Comrade Whitescarver that a truer sword never was drawn in defense of human liberty nor a more untarnished blade returned to its scabbard when the conflict was over. His fidelity to duty rendered him very popular as an officer and as a man. He never missed a day's duty nor a fight except once, and that was occasioned by his horse breaking down when pursuing Kilpatrick's raid on Augusta, Ga. An interesting episode occurred at Tunnel Hill, Ga., just previous to General Sherman's advance on General Johnston at Dalton. General Wheeler's Corps was bivouacked at Tunnel Hill when he ordered a field report of total men able for duty and those absent. Comrade Whitescarver, after a fruitless search for paper on which to make his report, found a piece of plank, and made it on that. As he handed the plank to Colonel Anderson, General Wheeler rode up and dismounted, and Old Paul, after introducing Sergeant Whitescarver to the General, said: "General, here is a sergeant in my regiment who has never failed to comply with orders." The battles in which Comrade Whitescarver participated were Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Resaca, Tunnel Hill, Rocky Face Ridge, Allatoona, Kennesaw Mountain, New Hope Church, Atlanta, Bentonville, and a thousand cavalry fights. Sergeant Whitescarver was a knight without his armor, a gentleman without ostentation, a Christian because of his devotion to right, a citizen without reproach, and a soldier without faltering when duty called him.

He was a man of the highest and noblest traits of character. He was born in Lexington, Ky., in 1838; and lived in the Chickasaw Nation for about thirty three years, residing in Oakland since 1874. At the outbreak of the war he assisted in raising Co.C-11th Texas Cavalry, the first company formed in Grayson County. Two years after its organization he was elected Captain and was then made assistant inspector general of Cavalry, under John A.Horton. He participated in all the battles of the Army of Tennessee, and was twice wounded. Always found at his post of duty, he loyally defended the cause in which he believed, and was a brave and faithful soldier. He was an intermarried citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, and held office under the Indian government at different times, having been, respectively, sheriff and county Clerk of Pickens County, both of which offices he held several terms. He performed the duties of these offices at a time when conditions were quite different from those of today, the Indian courts and government then being the only local institutions of government. In his official position, as in his private life, he had the entire confidence and esteem of the full blooded Indian, as well as all other citizens. He leaves a wife and three children.

He was a native of Newburyport, Mass., a graduate of medical colleges, and he devoted his life in behalf of the feebleminded. In the war he was surgeon of the 95th Ohio Infantry. As assistant surgeon of the 59th Ohio he served in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and in the siege of Corinth, Miss. As surgeon of the 95th Ohio he was at field hospitals at many places in Mississippi and Tennessee. From the battlefield of Nashville he was sent to the Spanish Fort in March, and was there until the surrender of the Confederate forces. In a military order of the Loyal Legion they say: "After his retirement from service, he was appointed Superintendent of the Illinois Asylum for Feeble Minded Children at Lincoln, Ill., which position he held until 1883, when he resigned and removed to Kalamazoo, where he established the Wilbur Home for Feeble Minded, which was successfully presided over by him to the hour of his death. During his life he did much for the unfortunate, the discouraged, and the feeble minded that the world or his near neighbors never knew of nor ever will. He was ever ready to uplift and to assist. Kalamazoo has lost one of its most valued citizens, the State a good man, and the poor a true friend. Dr. Wilbur is survived by a widow and three sons." Dr. Wilbur was an unstinted patron of the VETERAN, and fourteen months ago he entertained the editor and a comrade, Burr Bannister, long a resident of Kalamazoo, in thorough hospitality. The two Confederates had not seen each other since Saturday, the 15th of February, at Fort Donelson, the day before the surrender.

T., Dr.-Text:Vol.19,1911-More than one year ago occurred the death of Dr. J. T. Wilson, Commander of Mildred E. Lee Camp, U. C. V., of Sherman, Tex., and a man whose life had been devoted in its ministrations to others. He had been called to Baltimore, Md., -p.444 Confederate Veteran September 1911- in November, 1908, to attend a sick brother. While the brother was recovering he himself was stricken down, and for many months his sufferings continued, until death relieved him on May 22, 1910, while under treatment in Washington, D. C. His wife and only daughter were with him at the time, and accompanied the remains back to the home in Sherman, where he was laid to rest by those who had known his friendship and loved him for his true worth. Dr. Wilson was born on a plantation in Prince George County, Md., about sixty miles from Harper's Ferry, in 1846. In the early part of the Civil War, the State of Maryland being under control of the United States, he, with twelve, other young men, ran the blockade across the Potomac and made their way to Richmond, Va., where he joined a Maryland battery of artillery, and fought in many battles to the final surrender at Appomattox. After the war he finished his literary education and then studied medicine, graduating at the Jefferson School in Philadelphia in 1867. After graduating he served as interne at Blockley Hospital, and later located in the State of Missouri, where he practiced until 1876, and then went to Sherman, Tex., where he afterwards resided and practiced his profession. Dr. Wilson was well known throughout the State, and stood high in his profession, especially in the treatment of the insane and of nervous diseases, in which he took the greatest interest. He was at one time Superintendent of the Insane Hospital at Austin, and his management was characterized by the utmost care and kindness for the unfortunates under his charge. He did much to secure the passing of State health laws and those regulating the practice of medicine, and was President of the first Board of State Medical Examiners. His thorough knowledge of parliamentary law made him a fine presiding officer over medical meetings. He was also President of the Grayson County Medical Society several times and of the State Association. He was noted for his courtesy in the profession and his modesty as to his achievements. His death was a loss to his community and State, and many hearts were made sad by his going. He was idolized in his home, and his people held him in their hearts. Dr. Wilson was ever one of the most zealous friends the VETERAN ever had, and no truthful tribute to his memory could be exaggerated in its pages. notonfag Wilson, Joseph-Text:Joseph Wilson, of T.C.H.Miller’s Company, 11th Tenn.Cavalry, a neighbor of Comade John Ring, died on the same day, last Sunday in August 1899.

Henry M. Withers was born at Warrenton, Va., in 1845, and departed this life at Kansas City on December , 1908. J. D. Shewalter, of Independence, Mo., writes of him: "I knew him as a soldier and afterwards as a student at the University of Virginia. At the close of the war we were members of the same command, Company H, 43d Virginia Cavalry (Mosby's). This was a company added but a short time before the surrender to the command, but its members were all carefully selected because of supposed special fitness. Baylor's Light Horse (Company B, lath Virginia Cavalry, Rosser's Brigade) were probably more noted than any other like sized force in the army. Recruited in the valley, knowing all the country, under the lead of Capt. George Baylor (first under his father), they became widely known for daring in detached service on the flanks and rear of the enemy. Afterwards Baylor was commissioned to raise a new company of select men for Mosby's command. Most of these came from his old company. Many of them afterwards became distinguished in civil life. Lieut. J. G. Wiltshire, as brave a man as ever lived, now a leading physician and surgeon of Baltimore, William L. Wilson, Postmaster General under Cleveland, Charles Broadway Rouss, the eccentric blind multimillionaire merchant, and many others were of the number. Mr. Withers came from this old company, I suppose. With him and others near Bull Run we fought the last contest on Virginia soil, April 10, 1865, the day after the surrender. Baylor had been sent to a station near Fairfax Station, a short distance from Washington, to capture a wagon train sorely needed by General Lee the evacuation of Richmond not being known. * * *At the University of Virginia we were classmates. I graduated from the law department in 1868, and think he did in the succeeding year. And thus in early life we were thrown closely together. When all the 'Rebels' (the designation of patriots in every age) are assembled, those of 1776 81 and those of 1861 65 will be equally honored one won and the other lost in the same cause it will 'be sweet to have been there.' Capt. George Baylor lived a few years after the war in Kansas City, and died four years ago at Charlestown, W. Va."-1909 Vol.17 Wohleben, Herman-Text:Vol.12,1904-J. G. Deupree and S. B. Carothers, a committee, send tribute to Herman Wohleben, from which the following is taken: "Herman Wohleben was born at Frankfort, Germany, on February 11, 1837. When he was a child his father's family came to America, He wedded Miss Katrina Smythe on September 18, 1856, and soon afterwards came South, locating at Oxford, Miss. At the breaking out of the War between the States he was among the first to enlist in Miller's Battalion, Mississippi Cavalry. His command surrendered at Gainesville, Ala but he had been seriously wounded at Franklin, Tenn., and was at home waiting for his wound to heal when the war closed. He was at Shiloh, Holly Springs, Thompson's Station, Resaca, Dallas, New Hope, Atlanta, Altoona, and Franklin, and in many minor engagements. He was a man of singular courage and great shrewdness, peculiarly endowed with qualities of head and heart necessary to a successful scout. On many occasions he was detailed for special service in the perilous duty of entering the lines and the encampment of the enemy to get information for our commanding general. One of the most characteristic incidents in Comrade Wohleben's military career occurred when Grant's army first entered Oxford. He and a fellow soldier were the only Confederates in town, they having spent the night with their families, intending the next morning to join Pemberton's retreating army. As the head of the approaching Federal column appeared north of town these two opened a rapid fire upon the enemy from the public square with their repeating rifles. The Federals halted, threw out a line of skirmishers, and made preparation to drive out the Confederates and capture the town. They kept up a rattling fusillade until the Federal skirmishers had deployed and executed a flank movement around St. Peter's Cemetery and appeared coming in from the east, thus threatening the right flank and rear of Oxford's gallant army ( ?) of defenders. The Confederates, all two of them, retreated in good order a quarter of a mile south and took position again to renew their stubborn resistance. The Federals made haste to occupy the deserted square, and again cautiously proceeded to advance against what they supposed to be Pemberton's rear guard, succeeding in gradually driving the Confederates back another half mile or more. Here the Confederates again halted and defiantly held their position until the enemy, having discovered the smallness of the Confederate force, boldly charged, drove the two Mississippians before them, and took undisputed possession of this classic little city. Womack, Albert Alonzo-Text: p.132 Confederate Veteran March 1911-A. A. Womack was born in Hernando, Miss., February 29, 1844, and died in Longview, Tex., December 14, 1910. While in infancy he was taken by his parents to Texas, where he spent the rest of his life, except the four long years spent in the Confederate army. When war was declared between the States, Comrade Womack enlisted in the 3d Texas Infantry, and was in the army to the last. In the battle of Pleasant Hill, La., he was taken prisoner, sent to New Orleans, and confined for a 'whole year, when exchanged. He reenlisted and served until the surrender. Not permitted to write to his people during his long imprisonment, they thought him dead. Like tens of thousands of his comrades, he did his duty, and he did it well. Immediately after the war he located at Bryan, Tex., and married Miss Louisa Proctor, whose death soon followed, when he moved to Marshall and thence to Longview in 1871, and engaged in successful business enterprises until the day of his death. In 1874 Comrade Womack married Miss Eliza Harris Flewellen, who survives him, together with one daughter, Miss Kate. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church to the end, and during a business career of nearly forty years he was noted for his uprightness in all transactions, and he was a steadfast friend.

He was in his sixty eighth year. Major Woodrum did not seem in battle to know what fear was. At Newmarket his gallantry was conspicuous; he charge the superior force of the enemy, cheering his men, with such dash that Lieut.Brown Craig, Adjutant of Edgar’s Battalion, in admiration, exclaimed to Col.Edgar: “If Woodrum is not promoted, I’ll resign.” A few days later Craig was killed at Second Cold Harbor, near Richmond, in the display of equal gallantry, and Woodrum was captured in the same fierce struggle on our breastworks, and was among the six hundred officers who were placed by the generous ? for under the fire of our own gusn at Charleston. Capt.James Baumgardner, now Brigadier General, U.C.V., was also the six hundred and knew Major Woodrum well. Confederate Veteran:v.14, p.470 Wright, J. D.-Text: J. D.

Only two daughters survive, Mrs. John C. Twinam and Miss Frances Wright. The death-p.287 Confederate Veteran June 1908.-of his wife, on April 11, 1006, was a shock from which Captain Wright never recovered, and his health had steadily failed to the end. Captain Wright served with distinction throughout the four years of the Civil War as captain in a Virginia regiment, and at the close of the war settled in Knoxville, Tenn. In 1871 he went to Chattanooga and established the first brickyard ever in the city. Captain Wright was a gentleman of the old school, with the courtly manner and genial personality that characterize the Virginian.

The devotion between J. H. Yancey and his only brother, T. G Yancey, of Newman, Cal., was most beautiful and tender. For forty years they had kept up a regular weekly correspondence and were close to each other in spirit. Comrade Yancey was twice married, and left a wife and two little boys to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and father.

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 fortynine 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.

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. Dead:Ohio, Camp Chase-Vol.13, 1905-Text: The following were buried at Camp Chase, Ohio:J. L. Causey, Ordnance Sergeant, 3d Miss.

V., in Montgomery, Ala., at which time resolutions are passed in memory of those who have been lost to the membership during the year. At the meeting held late in December the following tributes expressed most fittingly the appreciation of those so lately lost to their comradeship: We are admonished by the invasion of our ranks by the fatal messenger that in a few years more the noble army of Confederate soldiers will have all passed away. Of this, those who are surviving should not complain, for each and every one of us has passed the three score mark and many the three score and ten. Rather should we be thankful to Almighty God that he has for his own wise purpose given longer lease of life and seek for our remaining days so to act and live to be found worthy in his sight when our course hall have been run. Since our last memorial meeting, one year ago, death has been busy in our midst, and ten of our number have paid the last debt of nature, to whose memory and virtue we meet to pay tribute. They are: W. W. Hen on, Watts Cadets, died February 33, 1911, J. B. Slaughter, Company F, 30th Georgia, died July 27, 1911, W. S. Hammond, Selden's Battery, died July 28, 1911, W. F.

McTyeire, 17th Alabama, died November 15, 19(1, Frank Mc Lean, Company I, 1st Mississippi, died November 25, 1911. The testimony of all who knew these comrades is that they were good soldiers, true to their convictions, loyal to their cause in time of war, and patriotic citizens in time of peace. This is a record to be proud of, and we add our tribute of respect and express our sorrow that they have been taken from us. Deaths:Alabama, Talledega: DEATHS AT TALLADEGA, ALA.-R. 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.

Deaths:Virginia, Front Royal:Vol.18,1910- DEATHS IN WILLIAM RICHARDSON CAMP, FRONT ROYAL, VA. Irving A. Buck writes of three Front Royal comrades: "Capt. Samuel J. Simpson died on January 19, 1910, of heart failure, aged seventy five years. A native of Warren County, Va., ill the spring of 1861 he enlisted as a private in the first cavalry company raised in his county, which became Company E, 7th Virginia, and attached to Gen. Turner Ashby's famous command. At the reorganization for his soldierly qualities he was elected first lieutenant, and was later promoted to captain. He was an ideal 'beau sabre.' No odds deterred him, and while 'his courage often seemed recklessness, it was tempered with a cool head which no crisis disturbed, and his war record was second to none of his grade. Gen. William E. Jones, his brigade commander, said of him: 'He was the best soldier I have ever seen, regular or volunteer.' After the close of the war Captain Simpson 'beat his sword into a pruning hook' and became a tiller of the soil, and his courage in peace was as great as in war. His inherent modesty was such that it was difficult to get him to speak of his achievements, as he considered his service only a compliance with the duty of every son of Virginia. In private life his integrity knew no compromise, and his hospitality was never appealed to in vain. As a member of the Camp he was an ardent supporter of any measure tending to the comfort and interest of his old comrades, and in cases of their need he was foremost in contributing liberal aid in proportion to his means. He was buried beside his wife by the Camp, his pallbearers being selected from its members. The firing of three volleys over his grave was by a squad from Company D, 2d Virginia Regiment. J. Newton Laws, aged sixty eight, died of pneumonia December 7, 1909. Comrade Laws in the spring of 1861 enlisted in Company A, 6th Virginia Cavalry, in which he served with distinction until the close of the war, after which he became an honored and useful citizen.
