Sorry - I think I might have transcribed either the volume or the year incorrectly on this one. However, the page is correct! Source: Confederate Veteran, Vol. XIII (XII??), January 1905 (1906?), No. 1, page 12 Confederate Monument at Eufaula, Ala. November 24 was a red-letter day for the good people of Barbour County, Ala. and especially the Barbour County Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, for it was the consummation of a labor of love in which those noble and patriotic women have been engaged since 1897 - the dedication of a monument to the Confederate soldiers and seamen of Barbour County, Ala. The shaft is of Georgia granite, beautifully polished so as to produce two shades of gray, and is thirty-five feet high. On top of this, exquisitely carved in Italian marble, is the statue of a private Confederate soldier, with his accouterments, standing "at rest". The monument complete cost $3,000. Ten thousand people assembled in the little town to witness the interesting ceremonies of unveiling the monument. The procession formed at the courthouse and marched out to the grounds. The Eufaula Rifles, headed by a brass band, led, followed by veterans, sons, and grandson, floats filled with beautiful young girls, representing the different Southern States, and behind these carriages with old veterans too feeble to walk, distinguished visitors, officers, and speakers. Arriving at the monument, the ceremonies were opened with prayer by Rev. E. L. Hill; then the reading of the list of officers and men of the First Alabama Regiment, a list of companies from Barbour County, and the roll of the Eufaula Companies. The Eufaula Rifles fired a salute, and Misses Mary Merrill and Ida Pruden drew the cords whereby the splendid, beautiful monument stood a feast for all eyes. The presentation of the monument to the city, in the name of the Barbour County Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, was made by Miss Mary Clayton, the organizer of the Chapter and a daughter of Gen. H. D. Clayton. The Mayor, George H. Dent, responded in behalf of the city. Hon. B.H. Screws, the orator of the day, made a beautiful address, after which tributes of evergreen wreaths were placed around the base of the monument by the Robert E. Lee Chapter of Children of the Confederacy. Rev. E. L. Hill pronounced the benediction. Many groups lingered around in admiration of the beautiful monument, and more than one old veteran was heard to say that it was as much a monument to their loving loyalty to the memory of the Confederacy as it was to the courage and devotion of their old comrades.

Terri, I'm sure you knew I would say this, but yes, I compile in Henry County also...anything greatly appreciated. Thanks, Deo Vindice, Homer

He was then transferred to the Signal Corps. Pinto Battery, in Mobile Bay near Pensacola, Fla., and after a year of service here he rejoined his old command, General Shelby commanding, and served until the surrender in Virginia. His early manhood was spent in Alabama, coming to California in 1903 and finally locating in San Diego, where he died, April 27, 1928. Surviving him are his wife, a daughter, and two grandsons, all of San Diego. Thus has passed on a noble, simple soul, knowing only the kindly smile, the friendly word that has made this world the sweeter for his having lived in it. His greatest satisfaction was found in really living the maxim, "Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days," taking his reward not in the material return, but in the love and loyalty of his fellow man and in the peace that comes with that last "Well done." We made him a floral pillow, the old battle flag of the Confederacy, and we covered him over with the Stars and Bars; and so he rests 'neath the flags he served so loyally. Sleep on, gentle spirit, Sweet rest through the night; Peacefully sleep till the Dawn Wakes the world with its light. [Contributed by Maude Ann Marker, of the Maj. Hugh G.

Homer, Thanks for the additional info and encouragement! Folks - I am nearing the end of all obits that are indexed by county (Bullock, Pike, Barbour, Dale, Russell, Coffee, Geneva, Houston) in the Confederate Veteran. I think I have three or four more - long ones that I will try to scan rather than type. Any other obits will be indexed by name. If anyone has a specific request, please let me know. I will try to make a list and look. ***Also - does anyone have an interest in the obits from Henry County, AL? Plus - please feel free to forward these to any surname lists, surname boards, other county lists, etc. The more folks that have the opportunity to see them, the greater the chance that someone might find that one piece of info to help them over their brick wall.

Source: Confederate Veteran, Vol XVII, November 1919, No 11, page 432 W. A. Bellamy After a brief illness, W. A. Bellamy, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Russell County, Ala. died at his home, in Seale, in August, 1919. He was born on July 11, 1842, at the old homestead in Russell County. With the exception of three years in Texas, he had passed his life in that county. In January, 1862, young Bellamy enlisted in Capt. James F. Waddell's battery, and he served under Gen. Kirby Smith in the Kentucky campaign. Coming back to Tennessee, from Murfreesboro he was sent with Stevenson's Division of ten thousand men to Vicksburg and served through that campaign under Pemberton. He was severely wounded at Baker's Creek and was taken back to Vicksburg, where he went through the siege and after the surrender was brought down the Mississippi on a transport to New Orleans. He was sent to his home in Russell County, and after his recovery and exchange, he was made sergeant of artillery and placed in the battery of his brother, Capt. R. H. Bellamy, then commanding a part of Waddell's Battery. Comrade Bellamy joined his command at Decatur, Ga. And went through the campaign under Joseph E. Johnston from Dalton to Atlanta. When Hood took command he was sent to Macon with others to help hold that city against raiders, and later he took part in the defense of Columbus against Wilson. This was the closing service of W. A. Bellamy. He never missed roll call during service and was never absent without permission. Comrade Bellamy was for many years a member of the Baptist Church, active and prominent in the Church work, and for forty years was superintendent of the Sunday school at Seale. He was also prominent in the political affairs of the State, was sheriff of his county three times, and had been councilman and mayor of Seale. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Williams. He is survived by his second wife, who was Miss Fannie Bickstaff, and by a sister, Mrs. D.B. Waddell, of Meridian, Miss.

This obit contains a picture of Mr. Pickett. If anyone is interested, I will scan and send as an attachment to an email. Source: Confederate Veteran, Vol XX, April 1912, No. 4, page 173 Andrew J. Pickett Andrew Jackson Pickett, son of Frederick and Martha Farrior Pickett of Dublin County, N.C., was born in Pike (now Bullock) County, Ala. on March 15, 1838. He grew to splendid manhood in the fresh and sparsely settled country around his home. He was fond of hunting wild game, with which the country then abounded. He received his education in the "old field" schools of the county and at Orion, Troy, and Brownwood, near La Grange, Ga. On December 15, 1858, he married Miss Torbut Sloan, of Lowndes County. At the beginning of the War of the States he joined the 1st Alabama Cavalry. In the battle of Perryville a ball passed through his body, and he was left on the field for dead. Three days after he received attention from a surgeon of the Federal Army. His recovery was very slow; and when he returned home, his beautiful wife was in her grave. After his recovery from his severe wound he joined the 6th Alabama Cavalry, commanded by Col. C.H. Colvin, and was captured March 25, 1865 at Pine Barren and sent to Ship Island, where he remained until May 1, and was then taken to Vicksburg and paroled on May 6, 1865. In December 1867, he was married to Miss Augusta Siler at Orion, Ala. She was a beautiful and accomplished woman, but in less than a year she was claimed by death. On April 29, 1875, he was again married to Miss Alice McLaurine, of Virginia, who has been to him a helpmeet in every way, an who, with her six children, survives him. Comrade Pickett was a man of deep and earnest piety, a devoted Church member since 1863, and held the office of church clerk and deacon for many years. He never fully recovered from the wound suffered at Perryville and for some time had suffered from paralysis. On August 25, 1911, this noble patriot and devout Christian passed "over the river to rest under the shade."

Source: Confederate Veteran, Vol. IX, August 1901, No. 8, page 372 Capt. Charles T. Hardman Capt. Charles T. Hardman died at his residence in Birmingham, Ala. On February 21, in his seventy-second year. He was one of the oldest residents of the city, having removed there in 1871, shortly after the site of the city had been surveyed. He was a native of Morgan County, Ga., but in his childhood his parents removed to Pike County, Ala. At the outset of the war he organized a company, of which he was chosen lieutenant, and which became Company B, of the First Regiment Alabama infant. He served with this regiment at the battle of Shiloh and in various minor engagements. Owing to severe physical disability, he was compelled to return home in June, 1862. In the autumn of that year he organized Company B, of the Sixth Alabama Calvary, and was elected captain. In this rank, he served with James H. Clanton's Brigade till the end, frequently being in command of the regiment and occasionally of the brigade. His military service was mainly in Alabama and Georgia. In 1865 the regiment fought with Steel's advance against Mobile, and with Wilson's raiders through central Alabama. Prior to this the regiment had been active between Dalton and Atlanta. After the surrender of the forces under Forrest, Capt. Hardaman went to Montgomery and was paroled. Capt. Hardman was widely known for his daring, gallantry, and skill in leading troops. Old in years and virtues, but young to the last in human love and sympathy; old in war, old in peace, but young in love and death - this old soldier of the young heart was laid away by battle-scarred comrades to sleep on death's eternal camping ground, where no sound of battle shall be heard, where they shall be no more strife.

Green Beauchamp was born about 1800, in Baldwin Co., GA,, the son of Littleton Beauchamp, who served with the Maryland militia during the Amercian Revolution. Littleton Beauchamp settled in Baldwin County, Georgia, sometime after 1780, and migrated to Henry County, Alabama before 1819, where he died by 1822. William Beauchamp who married Nancy Perkins was the oldest son of Littleton Beauchamp and Green was the second born. Green Beauchamp had quite an adventuresome streak in him, moving about the new country and exploring it. He served Barbour county in the Alabama State Legislature during 1836 and 1837 and was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1865. The other siblings of William and Green Beauchamp included Rachael, Labon, and Sarah. Green Beauchamp was married to Caroline Kennon of Ft. Gaines, Georgia. They did not have any children of their own but did care for the orphaned children of his brother William Beauchamp, who died in 1845. It has been said that Green Beuachamp was very sensitive about disclosing his age. He died in 1883 and is reportedly buried in the Beauchamp Cemetery, located on a small ridge off O'Neal Griffin Road, in the White Oak Station community. Contrary to previous reports that his grave was located by Mrs. Marie H. Godfrey in 1968, his final resting place is not specifically identified at this site. The obituary for Green Beauchamp from the Eufaula Times and News, 18 December 1883 read: Green Beauchamp died yesterday (17 Dec 1883). Home was in White Oak. Buried in the White Oak Cemetery.

His command was in front of Sherman from Vicksburg to Greensboro, N.C. After following Hood into Tennessee and out, he was with the command, retreating slowly and fighting hard all the way to Greensboro, N.C., where Johnston's army surrendered May 1, 1865. He was never wounded. He returned home after the war to begin life anew. On February 5, 1867, he was married to Miss India Wells, and together they lived a long and useful life and reared a large family of children. He was a devoted member of the Methodist Church.

After the war he was married to Miss Addie Moore, of Tuskegee, Ala. and settled in Chambers County, removing in 1868 to Texas and locating in San Saba County. In Texas he had a long and notable career as a railroad agent, his service of thirty-five years in the claim department at Austin, retiring with the respect and friendship of all with whom he had been assocaited and the public which he had served. After the death of his wife, in 1905, he made his home with his children in different parts of the country. Eight children survive him - four sons and four daughters - twenty-seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He was a devoted father, a loyal friend, and an earnest Christian; simple in his habits, conscientious and painstaking in his work. He counted his friends from the general public to the highest railway officials. Comrade Kelly was buried at Ledbetter by the side of his wife, many friends from Houston and other places attending the funeral.
