He enlisted in the Confederate army, May, 1861, at Auburn, Ala., with Company B, 14th Alabama Infantry, Capt. Jim Williamson in command. He made an excellent soldier, faithful and loyal, taking an active part in many hard-fought battles. He sustained several severe wounds during the fighting at Reams's Station, Gettysburg, and Salem Heights. With the exception .of a sixty-day furlough, granted on account of wounds received at Reams's Station, he was with his command continuously from time of enlistment to the end of hostilities. Out of one hundred and sixteen original members of his company, only sixteen returned home. He was twice married, both wives preceding him to the grave, a number of children, grandchildren, and great-grand-children surviving him. Mr. Cross was a good citizen, public spirited and progressive, looking carefully after his own affairs, though ever ready to help a neighbor with advice and counsel when sought. Always hospitable in his home, he numbered his friends among all ages. He was ever loyal to the Confederacy, attending all reunions when possible, and enjoyed reading the VETERAN. Miss Bettie Cross
