Source: Confederate Veteran, Vol. XXIII, August 1915, No. 8, page 369 T.A. Lunsford My brother and comrade, T.A. Lunsford, was born in Russell County, Ala. May 19, 1839. Our parents removed to Holmes County, Miss. in 1844, and he was educated in the schools of the county. Responding to the call of the South in 1861, he joined Capt. Josh McBee's calvary company, made up in Lexington, Holmes County, Missl, which was sent into the Western Department under the command of General Forrest. T.A. Lunsford served in Company A, 28th Mississippi Calvary, and continued in the calvary service throughout the war, bringing out with him the same horse with which he entered. 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. He answered on the last roll call and "crossed over the river" on the morning of February 1, 1915. [Sketch by his brother, W.W. Lunsford.]
