OF INTEREST TO U. D. C.
Item in Old Paper Tells Of Flag
Presentation.

An item Of historical purport was pub
lished in an old Memphis journal, the
Avalanche Of May II. 1861, which is of in
terest to the United Daughters of the
Confederacy. It is a narrative of the
presentation Of a first Confederate flag to
Gen. Patrick Cleburne of Arkansas and
his battalion, in Camp Rector, near Mem
phis, Tenn.
The camp was located on the Arkar-
sas side of the Mississippi river. The
troops were drawn up in front of the
stand erected for the occasion. The little
lady or schoolgirl who had been appoint
ed for this ceremony by two committees,
one of Little Rock and the other of Pine
Bluff, Ark. the account says, gave a most
excellent ard brilliant address.
This was Miss Lillian Rozell, who early
became an authoress, and long since
known north and south as Lillian Rozell
Messenger. Washington city has been
her home since she lost her husband,
North A Messenger, some years ago.
At the close Of the address given with
the flag, Gen. Cleburne, Capt. C. H. Carl
ton and Col. McRae made responses to
Miss Rozell. A salute of nine guns was
fired in compliment to her and the occa-
sion.
The address and a description of the
scene and its details were reproduced from
the old paper in the Nashville Confeder-
ate Veteran Magazine of May, 1893 The
motto on the flag, Our Hearts Are With
You," was printed on the white stripe in
gold.
