A TRIBUTE
To the Late Hon. W. H. Kenran by
a comrade in Confederate
Army

r. NJ White. Editor, Mexico. Mo.
Glasgow, Mo-, April /, 1905.-I
thought the old friends of W. Fl.
Kennan would like to know someth-
ing Of the incidents Of bis life as q
confederate soldier from one who
knew him and served In the same
company with him for more than two
years. Kennan was captured early in
the war and for long time was con-
fined at Alton, III. l do not know
whether be escaped, or was exchang-
ed. He came into the confederate
lines early In 1868 and Joined %. @.
10th, Mo-, Infantry Parsons Brigade
near Little Rock, Ark, where the
confederate army was camped near
that place under the command OF Gen.
Holmes. he served in this company
as private sergeant until near the
close Of the war, when be was COM
missioned 1st Lieut., and assigned
to Searcey's Battalion 10 Clarks old
Brigade as Battalion Adjutant. He
surrendered at Shreveport, La, In
May 1885. Kennan made splendid
soldier. He was intelligent, submits
i've to military discipline, patriotic
and considered it treason for man to
express any doubt of the success Of
the confederacy. In battle he was
brave and perfectly cool under fire
Missouri never furnished q better
soldier. His life In the army was
clean and manly. l don't think l
ever heard him swear or use any
vulgarity, nor do l remember ever
seeing him intoxicated. ! am GER
tain he was never under arrest for
breaches Of military discipline. He
was uniformly cheerful and made a
splendid messmate. We shared the
same bed and rations for over two
years and there was never an unklnd
word between us. / could relate sew
eral instances in which be displayed
conspicuous bravery in the presence
Of the enemy, but 1t is not necessary.
His military service was performed
In Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Mississippi. His friends may be assur-
ed that bis character and conduct In
the army was without reproach. He
professed to be Christian in faith
and told me that he was either a
member Of the Baptist church or that
this was the church of bis choice, do
not remember which.
