Note: The following information was found inside a book in the Blount County Court House in Oneonta entitled "Poll List Book of 1899." Apparently it was handy when the Veterans needed some paper to write on at their meeting. The 1908 list was interesting to me because it lists two men who were not enumerated on the 1907 Blount County Confederate Census: Daughdrill and Gallops. Daughdrill later moved to Texas; Was Gallops (or Gallups) buried at Austin Creek? The 1920 list mentions a name I am not familiar with: James R. Nipper. Anyone have any information on Gallops and Nipper? I am familiar with all the rest. 1908: Pursuant to authority from the Adjutant General's Office of United Confederate Veterans, the following named officers and men met at the Court House in the City of Oneonta, Blount County Alabama on Saturday, the eighteenth (18) day of April, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eight for the purpose of Re-organizing Camp Joe Wheeler, No. 1436 United Confederate Veterans, to wit: Allgood, Stephen C., Co.
