Homer: Four of my great grandfather's sons served in the Civil War. Wilburn Alexander Hagler enlisted in Company A, 45th AL Regiment, Confederate Army. He was enlisted by D. M. Seals who paid him a $50 bounty. He was wounded in the knee and stayed in Oliver Hospital for 50 days. His hometown was listed as Louisville, AL. Died 30 Oct 1912. Buried in Pine Level Baptist Cemetery, Barbour Co., AL. Sources: Gordon Hubbard, Ozark, AL; Ray Symons, Eufaula, AL, and June Sherman, Lockney, TX. Josiah Bradshaw Hagler per sworn testimony by his brother. James Madison Hagler of whom we have corresponded before. Also in Co., A, 45th. Killed 13 Jan 1863 we know not where. Buried in marked grave in Old Hagler Cemetery, Barbour Co., AL. Elbert Melton "Melt" Hagler, joined the Home Guard, Active Service. He served about 6 months from Nov 1864-Apr 1865. Sources: His Texas Pension Application and his tombstone which reads: "CSA, Pvt, Alabama Home Guard, Inf." Melt was b. 11 Nov 1847 and that is why he got in the war so late. Melt died 4 Nov 1933 and is buried in Antioch Ch of Ch, San Augustine, TX. Further review of his pension application reveals that he actually said he had 3 brothers who served. Those 3 brothers had to be Wilburn Alexander; Josiah Bradshaw; and James Madison. Brother Moses Wilson Hagler died in 1851. Brothers Adam Jackson and Billy were not born until 1852 and 1853, respectively. Perhaps Josiah Bradshaw Hagler's name got messed up a bit. Just guessing, but maybe Josiah got entered as Joseph. Thanks for all the time and help. Jack
