and decrepd to take active part on
either side. The mother was OF English
birth. but had lived i'm New York until
a few years previous to the war. when
she made Virginia her home. Her brother
still resided in New York until the war
broke out, and then enlisted In the United
States army and served calamity. This
couple had large family of little child
rem and a beautiful home, but unt0rtu-
nately IL was situated Immediately i'm
the track OF the army and was used re-
peatedly as camping ground. Year after
wear the growing crops were completely
DESTROYED. a beautiful herd OF cattle was
butchered and carried away. Horses.
swine and poultry shared equally as bad
fate. and I'm short, everything that could
be made profitable was completely de-
molished. and from having been people
of wealth and comfort they ana their
children were reduced to abject poverty.
