public service; four colors, green,
white, blue and black, with one

Two Of the oldest and most prom

surgeon Of Col T. J. Ghufehill's
regiment, the first Arkansas mount
ed volunteers. After hostilitiys
ceased. his great skill as a physician
being well established, he, upon
earnest solicitation, took charge Of
the United States army post hospital
at Little Rock. serving this post for
five years. Later he=fIled many Pc
sitions Of honor and, although en-
joying a remuncratiye practice up
to within a few years Of his death,
his services we're always THE com
mand Of the most humble sufferer.
H-ptrell was the last surviving
