THE CLOUDS THAT
PASS IN THE DAY

People Of Newberry witnessed a
strange sight late Friday afternoon
in a peculiar looking cloud floating
above the southwestern horizon and
passing over the city. The cloud
spanned the heavens in a smooth arch
as though chiseled by invisible hands,
even was the edge thereof. 1t
was a scene Of beauty in the accom-
panying brilliant glow. One young
lady described the unusual cloud as
being fan shaped. To many it ap-
peared as an immense funnel shaped
phenomenon which portended wa
ter spot or cloud burst or other aw-
full engine of destruction. 1t passed
however with very little rain and no
blow here. While thrilling to behold,
yet it gave the spirit Of fright to
many who felt as though they didn't
know what might happen during these
times of hidden dangers.

Shealy and Mr.. Suber messed to-
gether all through the war and only
a short time ago Mr.. Suber was on
a visit to his old home and spent the
night at the home of Mr. Shealy and
they had the pleasure of occupying
the same room once more and re-
counting the days and experiences
of the long ago. Mr.. Suber lives at
Johnston with his daughter. The
other members Of this old original
company still living reside in Lex
ington county.
Of course like all true Confeder-
ate soldiers Mr. Sheaiy had some rich
and exciting adventure, but it seems
that probably the one that made the
most lasting impression upon him was
at the battle of Strasburg when
the Confederates had driven the
Yankees back to Woodstock where
they received reenforcements and
thanked the Confederates and they
we're stampeded. Mr.. Shealy along
with Mr.. D. J. Wessinger concluded
that they would not be captured and
the only escape was to run, and they
struck out for the mountains and for
eight miles they outran the Yankee
cavalry and every other thing that
was in pursuit, but probably what
really saved the day for them they
Jumped into the river and took
refuge in the mountains, but it was
some race.
Mr.. shealy has continuously lived
on the same place where he settled
when he married Miss Laura Dickert,
the daughter of MIR. David Dickert,
March Is. 1865. He surrendered
with his company az Greensboro
April 26, 1865.
Mrs. Shealy died about six years
ago. June s, 1914, and then ne de-
cided to cult farming and the home
place is now occupied by his son,
Ernest S. Shealy. and he makes his
home with the family dividing his
time among the other children.
Mr.. Shealy is a devout member of
the Lutheran church and joined the
St. Johns church near Hopes, but
after the war united with St. Pauls

Like to write stories of human in
terest, and in this case am going to
try to write one from the facts which
/ gathered from Mr.. John D. Sheaiy
on a recent visit to his home in the
Pomaria section, or rather the sec
ton between Little Mountain and
Pomaria, and only short way from
where the pioneer John Windell
Shealy settled away back in ITO
when he set up his own household.
John D. Shealy is the son of Maj.
Sam Shealy and his wife who was
Miss Annie Fulmer and they lived IN
the house now occupied by Mr..
Ernest Wheeler and his family, and
it is here that Mr.. LTD. Shealy
was born on May IL, Io42. At that
time there was no railroad around
the place though Little Mountain
was rather famous resort, and there
was the old muster grounds and a
sort of get together place for the
community. All the land round
about where the town nows stands
was in woodland.
Mai. Sam Shealy mad FIVE sons
who about the time they grew to
manhood heard the call of the South
to arms in defense of what they con-
sidered their home and their native
land, and at the opening of the war
all FIVE enlisted as volunteers in the
service. Four of them gave their
lives to the cause and either died on
the field of battle or Of disease dur
ing those terrible days. There was
another son who died after the WaF.
John D. Shealy is the only son now
living. Maj. Sam Shealy also had
four daughters two of whom are still
living, Mrs. Frances Wessnger OF
Lexington and Mrs. Jacob Shealy of
Little Mountain.
Mary became the wife Of Mr.. NJ.
L. Riser and they lived at the old
home of Maj. Sam Shealy. After
their death the old homestead be-
came the property of their daughter,
Mrs. Ernest Wheeler and Mr.. and

tain now stands, and from that day
to this this section has been the
Mecca for the Shealys.
The historian says that John Win
dell Shealy was the first to come over
from Heidelberg and that ,a man
named John Adam Epting brought
over small colony consisting of
Shealy, Leitzsey, Settler, Cromer
and Myer in the year 1853, and that
the settlement of John Windell
Shealy was near or at the place
where Mr.. w. G. Shealy lives, and
that John Windell Shealy married a
daughter of one of the Eptings. This
wedding took place in the year 1910,
so the historian says.

One very remarkable thing to me
in the life story of Mr.. John D..
Shealy is that he went through the
entire war, having volunteered at the
first ,a}l along with four brothers.
and while the four brothers gave up
their lives he was in every engage
ment in which his company fought,
and the company was in practically
all the fights from Manassas to APP
pomattox, and he never received the
slightest wound and was never absent
from roll call during the four years OF
carnage. and he endured all the hard
