AT the last meeting of the Confederate
Memorial Association, while arranging for
decoration of the graves of our dead who
lost their lives in contest for liberty, we
were constrained to note the absence of our
Secretary, Mr.. j. F. Lindley, who recently
departed this life. On the battlefield he
was brave soldier and in the common
walks fife, true man. When our Me-
mortal Association was formed he aided
in its organization and was ever ready to
give his time and assistance in furtherance
Of its objects. For several years he had
been its Secretary and was faithful and
efficient officer and in his death our Asso-
citation has suffered loss not easily re.
