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."
