awaited himself during his boyhood of
every possible opportunity to get an
education. At the breaking out of the
civil war he joined a Union Home Guard
of which his uncle was Colonel. At
the same time the rebels were recruit
ing regiments in the same neighbor-
hood. The Union companies met on
Saturdays to drill. but after a few
months, when the Confederates notified
the Unionists to disband and gave them
SO many days to leave the State or be-
come subject to the Confederate States
of America, the regiment was disband-
ed and the Saturday drills were discon-
tinued. Many of the Unionists went to
Kentucky and Joined the Yankee army,

until the following march, when he, in
company with five other boys of the
same school, without the knowledge of
their parents, set out one rainy after
noon for Kentucky. They travelled that
afternoon and part of the evening un-
til they reached Bull Run Creek, where
in a farm house they spent the night.

seeking some means OF getting over the
swollen stream, the lads were overtaken

on the youngsters to return to the pa
ternal roof, the subject of this sketch

otherwise till there was an opportunity
to cross the mountain and get into the
Federal lines. This opportunity came
in the following February, when, in

Lieut-Gen. S. d. Lee, C. S. A, written
by DR.. C. S. Eldridge, was adopted and
an engrossed copy of it sent to the son
of the deceased. The tribute says:
Gen. Lee was consummate logician,
richly endowed educator and soldier of
winsome, superb personality; leader
who sincerely strove, after the Ameri-
can rebellion, to extenguish or as far
as possible overcome the asperities and
animosities that fingered in his locality
after campfres went out and deadly
shells ceased shrieking. / doubt not

federate vetrans many and a throng
Of patriots who wore the blue together
responding simultaneously to orders of
the Omnipotent Commander.
"Our members are inexpressibly sad
because Of Gen. Lees removal from the
theater of action wherein he was doing
such acceptable and absolutely neces-
sary work. His taking off by edict of
Providence leaves less luster to come
from the galaxy of lights adorning the
ceiling of Americas spacious temple
of freedom"
