sword sent Back After Twenty.One
YearS.

Recently Mrs. Josie D. Wilks. OF this
city, sent back TO its owner in New Haven
sword captured twenty-one years ago by
her former husband, Captain John NJ. Nc
Afee. In noticing the matter a New
Haven paper says:
GA postal card from Richmond, Va,
was received at one OF our city banks few
days since inquiring about Samuel NJ.
Smith, former first lieutenant i'm Company
j, Twenty.seventh Connecticut volunteers.
1t was sighed by Mrs. Josie ID. Wiks, and
referred to a sword that had been in her
possession nearly twenty-one years. Mr..
Smiths present address, No. AZ College
sp0ndence followed. The sword she wrote
about was captured by Captain John 81.
McAfee, Second Mississippi battalion. at
the battle Of Charlottesville, 1868. She
adds:
"A more gallant soldier or more per-
feet gentleman never lived. He lost
his life the following spring at or near
Spotsylvania Courthouse. The sword has
been IN my house ever since; but thinking
you might prize 1t, and II being pleasure
always to confer happiness, cheerfully re-
turn it to you.'v
1.-The sword was promptly forwarded,
and is now at home with its original own
er. 1t is quite dilapidated and bears evil
dence OF bard service. The engraving on
it is still legible, and shows that 1t was
present from Edwin Marble, in whose en-
plOy Mr.. Smith was when he entered the
service. Mr.. Smith remarked to the re-
porter: Il never thought OF nv sword
without remembering the officer to whom
/ surrendered, for he was both chivalrous
soldier and true gentleman, and amid all
the confusion Of a bOtly-contested battle
never for an instant forgot his good breed
ing.v
