state that it was Mr.. Wash McKown
that was killed by the train on the rail-
road last Tuesday night. 1t was Mr..
j. Wesley McKown. He was also a
member of the ''McKissick Rangers"
and whose name has already been men
toned, and will further appear, in con-
nectinn with "Tha "reminiscences of the
War" now being written for THE
TIMES.
Mr.. "Wash'' McKown was gallant
Confederate soldier too. He was orderly
sergeant in Captain Boyd's Company F.
Is 5. G. Volunteers, and took part in
all the great battles of the war in which

Cross Keys Loses Good Citizen

Mr.. Editor:-The death of good man
is great loss to any community. On
Friday morning last, Feb. 9Th, Maj. r.
j. Betsill passed away. When the tocsin
of war was sounded across our peaceful
Southland he, quite young, responded to
the first tap of the drum; and for gal
lantry he was promoted to the rank of
major, and short time before the i'm
mortal Lee surrendered he was COM
missioned a colonel, and his men were
among the last to surrender that day at
Appomatox G. H., Va. Therefore it
can be truthfully asserted that the old
18th Regiment, s. G.. Volunteers fred
the last guns Of the war. In the de-
lirium that proceeds the crossing of that
cold river, he wanted to be carried back
to the tents of the battlefield, and we
| trust was carried to peaceful regions
beyond, where pain 6 id suffering is no
more. Mai. Betsill was good husband,
mason, father, son, citizen and neighbor.
He leaves a devoted wife, six children,
several grand children and a host OF
relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
I am informed that. another good citi-
zen will move in a short time from

DEATH OF MAJ.
ROBT. J. BETSILL.
Il Noble Hero Gone to His Rswaad.


Major II. J. Betsill, one of Union
county's most universally beloved and
highly respected citiZ ms. died at his
home in Cross Keys on Friday morr =
ing, last week, at four O'Clock. He
was some sixty-five years Of age. He
had been suffering several years with
dropsy but had recovered last year so
much as to be able to get about again.
the swelling had entirely disappeared and
he and his host of friends throughout
the county feJ ,iced in the hope that his
recovery would he permanent, and that
his wonderful constitution to assist
in overcoming the terrible disease, would
insure him many more years of peace
aud happiness. But recently the disease
again developed and his decline was
rapid. While his death was not wholly
unexpected, the announcement caused
pail OF sadness in his community, and
general wave of sorrow throughout the
county. Because Major Bob Betsill
was universally beloved and recognized
by all who knew him as the 'noblest
Roman of them ALL" He was one OF
the most gallant and daring soldiers in
the Confederate service and served his
country faithfully and we'll through
ont tie war. He served with Col. VIM.
III. Wallace, Of Union, aud was upon
more than one occasion the recipient Of
personal commendation for his bravery
and gallant service by the officers high
in command.
Maj. Betsill enlisted in the Confederate
army and left for service with the first
troops to leave from Union. BY his re-
markable bravery and gallantry he soon
won glory and climbed rapidly up the
ladder of promotion. He stepped from
private in ranks to Lieutenant, then to
Captain, aud at the battle of Jackson,
Miss, for his extraordinary galldntry,
he was promoted over three senior
Captains to Major. Upon one occasion,
an oii,er was instructed to make
charge, the danger was so apparent, and
the odds so overwhelming that the officer
flmked and backed down. Mai. Betsill
was sent for and asked if he would ua-
dert,ke iJ. He replied that he would do
i5 or die in the attempt. He took COM
mand AID led his men 20 victory. No
Drawer man ever wore Confederate
uniform Maj Betsi!l leaves wife and
six children, Miss Lilly, Mrs. w. Bolton
Hill, Mrs A j. Hill. both of Cross
Keys; Nc. WI. Retsill, of West Springs;
Mr.. W. N. Betsill, of Cross Keys. and
Miss Annie.
The rem aims were inferred at Padgett's
Creek church Saturday in the presence
OF hose of sorrowing relatives and
friends. In his death Union county
has lost one Of its very best citizens.
