Source: Confederate Veteran, Vol XXXIII, May 1925, No. 5, page 188 Warren Fillmore Dent Warren Fillmore Dent, who died in Montgomery, Ala. January 28, 1925, was born in Charles County, Md., March 3, 1855. He was the son of Dr. S. W. and Mary Catherine Dent. He spent his childhood in Maryland and was educated at Charlotte Hall School, St. Mary's County, graduating there in June, 1872. In early boyhood, he united with the Methodist Church, and always took an active interest in Sunday school work. In 1875 he moved to Eufaula, Ala., where he engaged in the drug business and in 1885 he moved to Montgomery, where he had since lived and engaged in the same profession. He was married in 1880 to Miss Mary Elizabeth Wellborn, of Eufaula, and their, happy union was blessed by five children, who, with his wife and two grandchildren, survive him. By services rendered at the age of ten years he had the distinction of being one of the youngest men entitled to wear the Cross of Honor bestowed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. He assisted his father in the secret mail service in Maryland, and in his book on "John Wilkes Booth," Thomas Jones says of him: "The Doctor had a son named Warren, a mere lad of about ten vears, who, child though he was, was as energetic, discreet, and intelligent as any agent in the Confederate service. The most important matter was often intrusted to his care, and always safely intrusted." Because of these services, he was entitled to become a member of Camp Lomax, U. C. V., and at the time of his death, he was Major and Assistant Adjutant General on the staff of Gen. Hal T. Walker, of the First Brigade, Alabama Division, U. C. V. The day before he passed away, he read in a beautiful and touching manner the ritual at the grave of his friend and comrade, Col. George W. Hails. His last resting place is in Fairview Cemetery, Eufaula, Ala. "A Southern gentleman, a true Christian, he died honored and respected by all who knew him." [Paul Sanguinetti, Adjutant, Camp Lomax.]
