He moved to Louisiana, and in April, 1861, was enlisted in the army of the Confederate States in Company K (Nelligan's), 1st Louisiana Infantry, in which he was appointed third sergeant. He was promoted to second lieutenant in December, 1861, to first lieutenant April 28, 1862, and to captain in January, 1863. He was paroled at Appomattox, Va., April 9, 1865. He served without intermission, except when imprisoned, throughout the war, doing much active service. He was taken prisoner once. After the war, Mr. McLaughlin moved to Eufaula, Ala. where he lived until his death, which occurred on September 5, 1906. Captain McLaughlin is survived by his wife (who was Miss Belle Hart of Eufaula) and two daughters (Mrs. C.O. Hearron, of Spartanburg, S.C., and Miss Dot McLaughlin of Atlanta, Ga.) Mr. McLaughlin served faithfully and most efficiently as tax officer for twelve years in Barbour County, Ala., and enjoyed the esteem and confidence of the people in other lines of business in which he engaged. If any of his old comrades in reading this should recollect him kindly, his family would appreciate some expression from them. [The foregoing is from "S.H.B.", Eufaula, Ala.]
