GEN. LEES COOK TELLS HOW
HE WAS SHOT in BATTLE

Carney, of Ocala, Fla, elected for
life because she has attended tweu-
ty reunions before this one, and
has devoted all of her energies to
entertaining the old fellows, who, be-
cause of the sheer force Of nun
bers, were shunted to one side. Mrs.
Carney is matron of honor for Flor.
ida, chairman of the reception com
mittee for the Army of Tennessee,
and a member of General Carr's re
ception committee. 1t is an inter
esting coincidence that the only
woman veteran and the president
general of the United Daughters OF
the Confederacy, Mrs. Livingston
Rowe Schuyler, of New York city.
might be regarded as having come
from the same vicinity. Mrs. Schuy-
Ter spent her childhood in Marion
county, near Ocala.

standing the strain of the reunion

bed yesterday, physicians stating he
apparently had succumbed to heart
