The Roll of Company b.

Iohn F. Hamtramck. When the Civi
War broke out, the organization became
Company B, of the Second Virginia In
fantry.
We are indebted to Mr.. John H. Schop-
pert, of Shepherdstown. for the roster o
this company. Mr.. Schoppert, who is
Confederate veteran, having served witt
General Rosser, is president OF the loca
organization OF Confederate Veterans. ant
he has been at great pains to make thi:
roll as accurate and complete as possible
II there are errors or omissions, or dis
crepancies of any sort, we will be glad tc
have corrections. The list OF members
includes all who belonged to the company
from its reorganization in 1858 until il was
disbanded in 1865, so far as Mr.. Schop-
pert and other veterans can ascertain
from records. OF the large number o.
men who belonged to the company iron
first to last, there are tut sixteen OF
eighteen yet living, An attempt has been
made to show briefly the record and the
fate of the men. Some OF them have
been lost sight OF, so this is necessarily
incomplete.
Company B saw its first active service
in the John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry
in 1859. During the Civil War, as a par
OF the famous Stonewall Brigade, it was
in the thick of many desperate battles
and many OF its brave members gave their
lives for the cause OF the South or were
manned for life by shot and she'll.
