Our SOuthern Soldiers In The Civil
War

Following we publish a list Of those
brave men who left their homes in this
county and enlisted in the Confederate
army An effort is being made to erect in
Rockville monument by subscriptions to
the memory of these courageous soldiers.
During the late Civil War this county in
sentiment was very strongly Southern. and
deep respect is still held for the Southern
soldier by those same persons who have
survived the war and the offspring of those
who have gone to their long rest. There
are but few families in this county which
are unable to contribute liberal sum to
this patriotic effort. Many of these Southern
sympathizers who are able to contribute
seem slow to do so. There is no good
reason to be assigned for their inacton in
this respect. 1t is hoped that our people
may be moved to follow the example Of
other Southern towns in this matter as re-
vealed by Ex-Governor Warfield, who lately
visited the South and on his return pub
lished in the Baltimore Sun his observa-
tons of the marked respect that the people
of the South are paying their dead heroes
by erecting monuments to their memories.
The Ex-Governor is striving to have How
ard county, Maryland. erect monument
to her sons who entered the Confederate
army. He says;
During my recent trip through the South
| was very much impressed by the numer-
Gus memorials and monuments saw in
the State capitals, county seats and other
cities. erected to commemorate the bravery
and perpetuate the memory Of the gallant
soldiers who as beautifully said by William
Henry Trescot in words engraved upon
monument which saw in Columbia, s. C.;
True to the instincts of their birth, faith
full to the teachings Of their fathers,
died in the performance of their duty who
have glorified fallen cause by the simple
manhood of their lives, the patient endur-
ance of suffering, and the heroism of death,
and who, in the dark hour of imprison-
ment, in the hopelessness of the hos
pital. in the short, sharp agony of the field,
found support and consolation in the belief
that at home they would not be forgotten.
This inscription so touched and stirred
me that | determined when | returned
home to start movement to raise the
funds for the erection of monument to
those gallant Confederate soldiers. natives
