I am sending this to Drew, Bradley and Lincoln Co. maillists. Soldiers from all three counties are represented on this list. Drew County Advance July 29, 1915: Two or three weeks ago, Mr. Stan C. Harley, of Arkadelphia, an old Confederate Soldier, furnished the Monticellonian a partial list of names of the members of Capt. Stiles A. Ragland's old Compnay, which served in the civil war from Drew County; and, now come Mr. W.H. Lyle, another old Confederate Veteran from Relf's Bluff, Lincoln county, with a corrected list of Capt. Ragland's Company, and added information. These letters and soldier lists from these old veterans are well worth preserving; and we publish them, with the hope that not only the few old Soldiers now on this side of the great divide will appreciate them, but, also, their children and their children's children. Her follows Mr. Lyle's contribution to this history: "Relf's Bluff, Ark., July 22, 1915, Editor of Monticellonian, Monticello, Ark. I see in your valuable paper of July 15th, 1915, a list of names given by Mr. Stan C. Harley, of Arkadelphia, Arkansas, relating to Co. B. 2nd Arkansas Cavalry, in the war of 1861 to 1865, which I see is only partly correct. While I did not serve in the first part of the war, I did in the last two years. My understanding is that Company B was remnants of Companies A.& B, organized by Capt. Street Hudspeth as Captain of Company A and Captain Stiles Ragland as Captain of Company B, of Col. W.F. Slemons' Regiment, who was 3rd Lieutenant at first organization of Ragland's Company, and who later commanded a Brigade, composed of Cols. Monroe, Crawford, Wright and Cockran, who was a Captain in Slemons old Regiment composed of Companies commanded by Captains Stevern, Company B; Ellis, Company C; Snell, Company D; Summerville, Company E; Tibbs, Company F; Greenfield, Company G; Oliver, Company H; Hankins, Company K.
