der 50 years Of age, who lives at Mar.

On April 10, 1856, the day after the
surrender OF General Lee at Apo
mattox, Copeland was assigned to
guard the residence Of one DR.. Rich
ard Prior, being ordered to guard the
house until he was relieved. Cope

several months, afterwards remaining
for an additional period to repay in
manual labor for the care and treat
ment he had received. By that time
all regiments had disbanded and
scattered and Copeland returned to
Martinsburg without his discharge,
where he has remained ever since.
