after the war that during the Pennsyl-
vania campaign he was on picket duty,
and Lee, riding along accommodating by
himself, as he used often to do, got too
near him without seeing him. The man
said to Tucker: I put my musket to my
shoulder to kill him. put it down. I
put it up again, and put it down. put
it up the third time, and took it down.
I could not shoot that man."
Maj. Cookies diary gives a vivid de-
scription of the retreat from Petersburg
to Appomattox. He was wounded in the
leg at Saylors Creek. On the night of
April Lees staff still thought he in
tended to cut his way out with the "in-
invicible remnant" and join Johnston In
North Carolina. On Sunday, April 8,
Cooke was told about am that the
army would be surrendered in a short
time. Until l pm he was busily engaged
getting the different commands ready
for capitulation. His diary reads:
After Gen. Lee surrendered
he made the farewell address to the
army. The tears ran down the old hero's
cheeks and he gave way, for the first
time that ever knew him to do so.
Officers of all grades and privates
wept like children"
On Tuesday Lee and his staff left Ap-
pomattox, Cooke riding in an ambulance
loaned him by Gen. Grant. 1t was driven
by Cookies Negro "boy," William When
transferred to Lees staff Cooke had sent
for William to come and cook.
There were several different messes on
Gen. Lees staff. With the general were
Coils. Taylor, Marshall and Venable. On
one occasion Lee, seeing that the dinner
consisted only of cabbage, asked what
had become of the meat which had ac-
companied the cabbage the day before
when they had had guest His servant

In the Summer of 1865 Maj. Cooke did
truck gardening In the Autumn he and
a friend opened day school for boys
in Petersburg, and he began studying
for the ministry. Now the call came to
his life work. The Negroes needed edu-
cation. The white people were strug
Cling with their own desperate problems.
No one else would do it. The example
set by Lee, who had given his slaves re-
ligious instruction on Sundays, and
Jackson, who had taught Negro Sun
day school class at v. M. T., decided him.
He taught the first public school in the
State for Negroes. He felt that upon the
type of instruction given the Negroes de-
pended not only their own welfare, but
that of the white people as well. He
opened church day school for Negroes
and added to the usual curriculum re-
ligion, morals and personal cleanliness.
The influential men of the Episcopal
church and of the State gave approval
and aid. The school grew. It Is now
the Bishop Payne Divinity School, but is
still referred to as Maj. Cookies School,"
His "boys" went out to be the teachers,
the ministers, the leaders of their race,
and all honor the name of Giles Buckner
Cooke.
In 1871 he was ordained as minister,
and besides the school work served as
rector of st. Stephens Parish (Negro).
Not until Negro was found capable of
handling the work did he resign. This
was in 1885, and until he retired, in 1917,
from All Saints Church. Portsmouth,
Va, he served various parishes in Mary
land, Kentucky and Virginia. The two
longest periods were spent at st. Mary's
Parish, Northeast, Md, and Kingston
Parish, Mathews County, Va.

4 AAJ. COOKE was married twice, first
Ni to Mrs. Martha Frances Southan
(nee Mallory of Norfolk, Va, in 1870.
She died in 1894, and in 1898 he married
Miss Sarah Katharine Grosh of Cecil
County, Md. They have three children,
Katharine GroSh, Giles Buckner, jr., and
John Warren. The last is youth of Is,
who will enter v. M. I. next year. Giles,
jr., lives in Newport News. Katharine
was secretary of st. Johns Church, in
this city, for some years, but now lives
with her parents.
In Mathews County, where he had
served II years of his ministry, Maj.
Cooke chose congenial and delightful
surroundings for his declining years. The
charming eighteenth century home is
set well back from the road, with the
placid waters of an inlet Cf Mobjack Bay
behind it. Here he and his wife and
daughter dispense the hospitality char
acteristic of the "Old South" Oddly
enough, he has returned to the land of
his ancestors, for one of the first two
settlers of Gloucester County Matthews

Mordecai Cooke of Mordecais Mount,
now Church Hill. Many of the historic
estates in the peninsula have belonged
to Cookies, and in the court house at
Gloucester is tablet bearing the names

In usual conversation Giles Buckner.
Cooke is very much the Episcopal minis
ter. But when he talks of the days
when he wore the gray he changes. The
soldier speaks. Presently he will weary,
and when again he talks he is the priest
once more. But over his mantel is
picture of Gen. Lee on Traveller. Among
his most treasured possessions are the
letters he received from Lee after the
war. yaAh&

All during the siege of Petersburg Gen.
Lee attended church services in the
morning and again in the afternoon
every Sunday, unless there was battle
going on. He was very much the ascetic.
Maj. Cooke says he was "the most self
effacing man I ever knew" He did not
accept invitations in the town. In Mai.
Cookies diary there is record of Beaure-

(Cookes) uncle, but there is no such
record regarding Lee. On the rare occa-
sions when citizens and some of the Of
ficerS banqueted Gen. Lee felt and said
that the food should be given to the men
in the trenches.
'"The three best men I ever knew"
Maj. Cooke states, were Robert E. Lee,
'Stonewap Jackson and Darcy Paul"
Darcy Paul was Cookies uncle-in-law,
mentioned above, prominent citizen of
Petersburg and one of the three who
surrendered the city to Grant after the
evacuation.
CEVERAL books published in recent
years have contained the statement
that Gen. Lee was cold, distant and lack
ing in personal magnetism. Maj. Cooke
was asked about this. He said: 'It Is
absolutely false! Lee had dignity and
gravity, but he also had a very keen
sense of humor, and when he would un-
bend he was charming. He was affable
to ladies and popular with them He was
devoted to children, and they to him.
Beneath his shell of reserve was the pure
gold of the man, friendliness, kindliness
and geniality."

Now we must be true to our country
And our dear old flag we must

And doesn't the flag seem dear,
That is bought at such a price.
And to let a red flag depose it
Would be anything but nice.
And what of the loved and lost ones
Who died, the flag to ave,
Oh. wouldn't it be shameful.

And want a red flag above them
