Cary Selden and Company b.

In the death of Cary Selden another
member of Baylor's Company has passed
away. The roll of the living members
is getting very small indeed Cary
joined Co b in 1862. and was a good
soldier. always ready to do his duty and
willing to go anywhere he was ordered.
and always III the front in the many
charges the company was IN. He was
very young when he joined the company.
He filled the place OF soldier well, and
never flinched or seemed to fear danger,
In the summer of '62 our company was
on special duty in the Valley. We were
twenty miles inside of the enemy's
lines. They also had 10000 troops in
Harpers Ferry. On the 9TH of Septem-
Der our cur company was feeling It's way
to Charles Town. We came IN contact
with two full companies of Federal Cav.
airy and we fell back to Cookies gate, a
short distance west of Charles Town,
where Mr. NJ ClIpp's house now stands.
We had a severe fight in this engage
ment, and Cary Selden was badly
wounded in tue face. The wound wss
long while getting well. and dis6gured
his face badly. But he was back with
the company before he had gotten well,
and was more for a fracus than he was
before. He was a good solder and
warm friend. We followed the + eder.
ais up and took possession of Charles
Town. Lieutenant Rouss, who bad
charge of the company, was wounded In
this fight. and was unfit for duty for
while. Lieutenant Rouss was a fue Of
| ficer and as cool a man as ever saw in
fight. He always led his company =
1t was charge. follow me Rouss was
cool all the time and never lost his head,
and if any of the boys didn't wait to
| fight they should not have followed
Rouss When he was ordered to take
his company any where. he always went,
