SAD ENDING FOR
BRACES NEPHEW
Gallant Confederate at Sol
diers' Home Has to Be
Taken to Tuscaloosa
Rx w. p. THOMPSON

Mountain Creek, January 1.-(Special)-
With the ushering in of this. the year
1913, that, by some considered the year
of odd numbers, with the mystic Is at
taehed. which occurs only once in a
century, an old and honorable Confed-
crate soldier. John A. Bragg, nephew of
the famous and chivalrous Gen. Braxton
A. Bragg, leaves the Alabama Soldiers
Home. committed by Judge E. b. Deason
of Chiffon county, and to be delivered to
the authorities of the Alabama Bryce hos
pital at Tuscaloosa.
This is a sad ending of the free life
of now decrepit, aged Confederate SOL
diers
Veteran john A. Bragg volunteered at
the commencement of the Civil war as a
private of Company b, First Alabama
infantry regiment, from which he was
transferred to the Confederate navy, in
which he served until his uncle, Gen.
Braxton Bragg. had his nephew trans
ferred to his staff.
AT this time young Bragg was active,
brave and venturesome to such an ex-
tent that General Bragg assigned him as
a scout and courier; these duties young
Bragg performed SO well and valiantly
that General Bragg frequently mentioned
him favorably, both to Confederate head
quarters and in private letters to the
Bragg family.
But, as to Veteran Bragg and his de-
portment-when docile-during his stay in
this home a few words are apropos: He
was, in every sense of the word a gen
tleman; clean, polite and ever mindful
of all that pertains to morality; but,
when angered his whole department was
changed momentarily. This necessitated
his removal from his cottage to the home
hospital There, among others who were
sick, crippled, and aged, his case be-
came such that the authorities here had
it submitted to Probate Judge E. B. Dea-
son at Clanton, who, on evidence fur
nished by two witnesses. supplied the
necessary papers committing Veteran
Bragg to the Tuscaloosa asylum, whence
under escort he has been taken, prob
ably-yes-where he will eke out the re-
naming days of his life, which will be
few. as this January l, 1913, is his 73d
year.
During his stay in the hospital at the
Soldiers Home, DIR. Ellsberry, the physi-
clan in charge; Miss Kate Lassiter, the
matron, and Capt. J. NJ. Simpson, the
commandant, were very attentive, leav-
ing nothing undone on their part that
was conducive to his comfort. Poor
