MIR. Editor: 1t was my privilege a
few days ago to visit Mr.. Joel T. Crisp,
who lives with his s~on-in-aw, Mr.. Raj
ney Hit. MI. Crisp is now in his 89th
year, and enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the oldest Confederate veteran in
N~ewberry county. He enlisted in the
Confederate army on the 18th day of
April, 1861, and surrendered with Gen.
Lees army on the 9th of April, 1865.
He has seven children living and a
host of grandchildren. He has recently
had his picture taken-and a fine one
it is composed of himself, his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Mary HIT; her daughter,
Mrs, Birdie Poag; Mrs. Poag's SON.,
Luther Poag; and his son, Calvin Joel
Poag-thus showing five generations.
Mr.. Crisp enjoys good health, has a
good appetite and sleeps well. He is a
member of the Baptist church and is
able to attend divine service when the
weather is good. He recognizes the
fact that he, too, will soon follow his
comrades-in-arms to that country where
wars and tumults will cea.e.
