 highest respect for him. We called him sister. Why do not know. for he was a fearless, manly gentleman perhaps 1t was because of his pure character and modest manner.
 "Beasley. our color bearer. was the bravest boy I ever knew--he had ab- solutely no fear. I saw the colors of the old 4th shot out of his hands three times, but he always seized them with the sane rebel yell You say he is dead? Poor boyi''
 Yes replied. ''and he had full share of sorrow while he lived. "The camps at Louisville, Ky. buried him with military honors after his eventful life was over"

Crawford, who is a Tusca . loosa boy and the son of Mrs. E. l.. Crawford, is now d member of the staff of the Anatomical Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin. with which he has been prominently con i nected for several years has kindly compiled a list of names of Confeder- ate soldiers buried at Madison, where the University is situated.
 l The list is long one and was no small undertaking, for snow had to | IxA Nrn nNp kHr sw,-a kl rrl~ 4l.r names on the headstones to be de- I ciphered The letter follows, but the l list Is not published here as there were no Tuscaloosa men in the first l Alabama, so far as the writer can learn, but the complete roll will be in the U. D. C. columns of the Montgom- cry Advertiser. Mf Crawford in his letter to the President of the R. E, | Rodes chapter says:
 Madison, Wis. Feb. 12, 1906. My Dear Mrs. Bryce.
 i I enclose in this envelope a list of l the Confederate soldiers from Ala bana regiments who are buried in | Forest Hill Cemetery, Madison, Wis consin. In addition to these Alabama | soldiers there are buried here soldiers | from the First, Fortieth and Fifty | fifth Tennessee regiments, from the | Eleventh Arkansas and the Twelfth l Louisiana. As the list shows, all oi the Alabamians are members of the | First Alabama regiment. Whether this
 was a cavalry or infantry regiment is not stated. have no knowledge | as to what part of the state this reg | iment was raised, Uut I was struck by the number of surnames familiar to me from the years f-spent in Tuscaloo- | sa! Among these I might mention strickland, Hood, Brooks, Walker, Ed dings, Farmer, Oliver, Cooper, Bran | don and others. Of course it Is pos sible that this is merely a coincidence | and that these soldiers were from an | other part of the State. If so the list | will of course have no local interest to the members of the Rodes Chapter
 The graves are all in one group in | Forest Hill, a beautiful wooded hill near the Lake some two or three miles 1 from the city. The lot is surrounded by low stone coping. with the letters | e. S. S." cut in the small stone col umns which mark the entrance. The | graves are all marked by plain, white l wooden headboards, with the name Company, Regiment and date of death painted thereon fin black. There are l quite a good many unnamed graves scattered through the rows, and foI these no regiment or company is giv- | en.
 In my effort to find out something about the chance that caused these
 men to be brought so far up here ir Wisconsin, about the place and incl. dents of their imprisonment, etc., have thus far been unsuccessful None
 of my acquaintances here have more
 than a kind of legendary knowledge
 that there were some Confederate soldiers once kept here as prisoners
 Most of them did not know anything
