    3. MONUMENT AT POINT LOOKOUT, MD. [From the Baltimore Sun Correspondent, Washington.] A large masonry monument is to be erected at Point Lookout, Md., by the United States government in memory of 3,384 Confederate soldiers and sailors who died in Northern prisons during the war and are buried in that vicinity. A contract for the construction of the monument has been let by the War Department, but it could not be built without authority from Congress, as the Foraker act, passed in 1906, providing for the marking of the graves of Confederates who died in Northern prisons, directed the War Department to erect over every such grave a white marble headstone. This work has been in progress during the past four years under the direction of former Governor Oates, of Alabama, whom the President appointed commissioner for that purpose. Governor Oates died last October, and since that time former Senator James H. Berry, of Arkansas, has been in charge of the work. In executing the law General Oates and General Berry have found in several places, among them Point Lookout, that the remains of Confederates had been removed from the places of original burial, and in the reinterment the identity of the remains had been lost, making it difficult to erect separate headstones. * * * Point Lookout is at the southern extremity of the peninsula separating the Potomac River from Chesapeake Bay. A large prison camp was maintained there during the war, and many Confederate soldiers and sailors died there. A prison cemetery was established near the camp, where 3,384 were buried. Some years after the close of the war a small tract of land was acquired by the State of Maryland at some distance from the original place of interment. There the remains of the Confederate dead were reinterred and a small monument built to their memory. The transfer of the remains was carried on under such conditions that General Berry believes it practically impossible to erect the small marble tablets with any assurance that they would indicate the resting places of the Confederates in whose memory they were to be erected. In a letter received by Senator Warren from Secretary of War Dickinson the statement is made that in view of the uncertainty of identification the proper authorities of Maryland refuse to permit the establishment of the small marble markers, but are willing to permit the erection of a central monument containing tablets upon which the names of the individual Confederates can be inscribed. A contract has therefore been let for the construction at Point Lookout of a central mass of masonry of suitable form on which are to be placed bronze tablets containing the names of the dead. The monument is to be completed by September, 1911. To grant legislative authority for this work Senator Warren reported to the Senate a joint resolution, which was passed, granting authority to erect the monument and extending the Foraker act for two more years. Otherwise its provisions would expire February 26, 1911. General Berry reports that 14,617 separate headstones have been placed over the graves of Confederate sodiers under the Foraker act, while the monuments to 4,400 more at Oakwood Cemetery, Chicago, and to 3,384 at Point Lookout will bring the total to 22,401 by next September, leaving only a few hundred more graves to be marked.

    2. Margie Daniels
    3. CAMP CHASE. About four miles from Columbus, Ohio, is a place where brooding peace seems eternally to dwell, a place of green fields and shading forests, yet on this spot was once Camp Chase Prison, in which want and suffering held high revel. In 1861 General McClellan was ordered to send his prisoners to Ohio. Regarding the jails as insecure, Gov. William Dennison ordered the erection of barracks on some land which the government leased, these barracks forming what was known as Camp Chase. This was for privates and noncommissioned officers, the officers being carried to Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie. The first prisoners in Camp Chase were from the 23d Virginia Regiment, who were captured in the Kanawha Valley, but these prisoners, more fortunate than most, were soon exchanged. More rapidly took their places, however, and in 1863 there were eight thousand Confederates held in confinement in this one prison. In 1863 three women, a mother and two daughters eighteen and sixteen years of age, who were brought from Nashville, Tenn., were held prisoners in Camp Chase. These ladies had been very active in giving information to leaders and in aiding Confederate soldiers. The lease of the land, which was held by the government, continued till April, 1879, when the place was purchased by government authority and held as a Confederate cemetery, as two thousand three hundred Southern soldiers were buried there. While Rutherford B. Hayes was Governor of Ohio, the cemetery was put in good order and a man was employed to take care of it, but Governor Bishop refused to allow this expenditure of twenty five dollars a year, and the cemetery was allowed to grow up in weeds and underbrush. When Senator Foraker was made Governor, he called the attention of the government to the neglected condition of the graveyard, and an appropriation was made to put it in order and maintain it. A substantial stone wall has taken the place of the wooden fence which had surrounded the cemetery, which fence was built of the planks, from the old barracks when they were torn down after the war.

    1. [Crawford County] CV March 1911 Confederates in Brazil
    2. Margie Daniels
    3. Confederate Veteran March 1911 CONFEDERATES WHO WENT TO BRAZIL. An interesting letter comes from Mr. Grover G. Pyles, of Santa Barbara, Brazil, who writes of the Southern families who left the States after the surrender and went to Brazil in search of new homes, feeling that there could be no more happiness in the old homes under the changed conditions. Most of the Confederate veterans who went out are now dead, but Mr, Pyles mentions a few now living in that section viz.. Dr. Robert Norris, H. Clay Norris, Lieut. Joseph Whitaker, N. B. McAlpine, George Worthrop, John Weissinger, Joseph Minchin, J. Partridge, William McCann, William Pyles, Ezekiel B. Pyles. He says of these men that they have contributed greatly to the progress of agriculture in that country, and the municipality of Santa Barbara, in the State of Sao Paulo, is classified first in agriculture. Comrade Pyles adds: "The Confederate veteran has been a power in peace, even as he helped to make the Confederate army one of the most invincible that ever faced the foe." CONFEDERATES GOING BACK TO MASSACHUSETTS. James Anderson, of the E. K. Wilcox Post, Springfield, Mass., has returned from another visit to Petersburg, Va., where he was the guest of the A. P. Hill Camp, U. C. V., and with them helped celebrate Robert E. Lee's birthday. It was the twelfth time that Mr. Anderson joined the Petersburg veterans in celebrating the birthday of the great Southern hero. He says it was impossible for him to accept all the hospitable invitations that were given him for dinners and receptions. The visit of the Hill Camp to Springfield, Mr. Anderson says, is a thing that the people of Petersburg seem never to tire of talking about. Lee's birthday was celebrated with a parade in the morning and a banquet in the evening. Mr. Anderson was the speaker at the banquet. He entertained the Southern veterans with his account of their visit to Springfield. The Springfield Republican states that a number of the A. P. Hill Camp of Veterans are going to Springfie! ld of their own initiative to help celebrate the next Independence Day.

    3. GORDON AND HANCOCK'S FORCES AT SPOTTSYLVANIA, VA. J. M. Lewis, of Macon, Ga., writes: "Will you please give me the information or procure it for me? On May 12, 1864, at Spottsylvania C. H., when General Hancock broke the Confederate lines, General Gordon made a countercharge and retook most of the works that had been captured by General Hancock's forces. General Gordon reported that he would have retaken all of the lost ground, but his line was too short. Now I would like to know what Confederate brigades occupied that ground before Hancock's charge." E. C. Miller, of Hinesville, Liberty County, Ga., desires information of the service rendered the Confederate States by Maj. E. W. Solomons, of Screven County, Ga., who was major of commissary in Gen. George P. Harrison's brigade of Georgia troops. This information is given to assist an old and needy widow in securing a pension. Major Solomons was an old man, but entered the service during the first of the war, and afterwards served in government positions. [The Confederate "War Records" as published by the United States government report "Edward Solomons" with the rank indicated above in Georgia State Troops in 1861 and disbanded in 1862.]

    2. Margie Daniels
    3. SEVERE EXPERIENCES AT GETTYSBURG. BY WILLIAM PAUL, WILDWOOD, FLA. The 48th Georgia Regiment was in line of battle, fronting Gettysburg, and we were ordered forward. The first line of Federals was behind breastworks made of rails from which we soon drove them under a heavy fire to that noted rock fence. By the time we reached the rock fence all the officers in Company I, "Wilson's Tigers," had been killed or wounded. We had seventy three men when the fight began, and only three men escaped without a bullet piercing their bodies. I was a corporal, and led the company to within twenty yards of the rock fence, when I was shot down, and the few remaining fell back. I remained on the battlefield fourteen days, unable to move or help myself, lying between two corn rows smeared with my own blood, until I was sunburned from head to foot, my clothes having been torn off, and two of the wounds had become fly blown. After this we were removed from the battlefield to Baltimore, and there lay on a street for several hours. Some pitied and others reviled us. The most charitable act done for me was by a fine looking lady, dressed in black, who gave me a fine comb, and I was not long in making my head more comfortable. If that lady is alive, I would like to send her a nice Florida present. I was finally moved to Chester Hospital, where I had to plead with the doctors to prevent amputation of my leg. It had so decayed that the bone and leaders were visible. After a long spell of typhoid fever, I was moved to Point Lookout Prison, where I was detained for about seventeen months before being exchanged. Then a thirty days' furlough was given me. After leaving Richmond, it took the thirty days to reach home, as I was going around Sherman's army to Augusta, Ga. I am now old, seventy seven years of age, living at Wildwood, Fla., and have a warm place in my heart for all the old boys who wore the gray.

    1. [Crawford County] CV Feb. 1911 Capt Johnson death
    2. Margie Daniels
    3. CAPTAIN JAMES HOUSTON JOHNSON Captain Johnston was born in Savannah, Ga., November 14, 1831, and died there December 8, 1910. At the time of his death he was the oldest surviving member of the Georgia Hussars, having been for fifty seven years on the rolls of that command. At the outbreak of the Civil War he attached himself to the Chatham Artillery, with which company he actively served until transferred to the signal corps. Throughout a long life he was a faithful Confederate. Well might the Savannah Morning News of December 9 say of him: "In the death of Capt. James H. Johnston Savannah loses one more old landmark. Few citizens of Savannah have been more intimately and prominently bound up with the social and business life of the city than he was. For two generations he was a familiar and honored member of all that was best in the various institutions of his home city, and for nearly fourscore years he was respected and loved. Captain Johnston was a gentleman of the South of the old school. This is a trite expression, but it means a good deal when it can be said truthfully and without reserve: 'No man need ask for higher praise.' Sorrow caused by the passing away of such a man is tempered by the priceless legacy of a well spent life and an honored name." When Captain Johnston's death was announced, the flags of the City Hall, the Cotton Exchange, the Hussars Armory, the Chatham Artillery, and the Confederate Veterans' Hall were placed at half mast.

    2. Margie Daniels
    3. COL. THOMAS B. ROY. Thomas Benton Roy died in Berlin, Germany, on November 20, 1910, aged seventy two years. He was a native of Warren County, Va. In April, 1861, he enlisted in the Warren Rifles, which was afterwards Company. B, 17th Virginia Infantry. At Manassas he was detailed as clerk in General Beauregard's office, and with that officer was transferred to the Western Army in February, 1862. At Shiloh he rode with the staff, though having no commission. Soon after General Hardee applied to Beauregard for a trained adjutant general, and young Roy was recommended and commissioned captain as assistant adjutant general and assigned to General Hardee's staff. His superior ability was immediately recognized, and he was speedily promoted to major and chief of staff. Later he was advanced to lieutenant colonel and then to colonel. Upon General Hood's accession to the command of the army Colonel Roy was offered the position of chief of General Hood's staff with the rank of brigadier general, but Co! lonel Roy preferred to remain with General Hardee. Upon one occasion he was bearer of important dispatches to the War Department. Arriving in Richmond, he was given an audience with the Chief Executive of the Confederacy, who naturally inquired concerning affairs of the Western Army. Colonel Roy's clear and succinct portrayal and intelligent understanding of the situation so impressed the Confederate President as to receive his commendation. >From a letter of Maj. George A. Williams, of New Orleans, the following is copied: "After the war he went to Selma, Ala., where, while editing the Selma Messenger, he qualified for the bar. He then married Sallie, the second daughter of General Hardee. He became junior partner in the law firm of Brooks, Haralson & Roy, and at once took high rank and became one of the leading lawyers of his State. The late Senator John T. Morgan said: I consider him the brightest of the young men at the Alabama bar.' His professional career was cut short on the threshold. A failure in the sense of hearing obliged him to forego his cherished ambition and condemned him to a life of inactivity. For the purpose of educating an adopted daughter, they removed to France and then to Germany, whence they never returned to America. Here was a man whose life was a beautiful outgrowth of our best traditions, a development of the cherished ideals of our fathers. He was a fluent writer, a brilliant conver! sationalist, and all his expressions were flavored with a chaste, even classic, humor. He was of judicial temperament, of charming personality, altogether an admirable, lovable man, of whom his family and people may well be proud." Trying A. Buck, of Front Royal, Va., writes: "No braver or more accomplished soldier ever followed the Confederate or any other flag, and in his death has passed one of Warren County's most distinguished sons."

If you're looking for Divorce proceedings, the Superior Court Minutes are the resource you should check. They don't often go into details, however.

    3. SHERMAN'S DEVASTATION IN GEORGIA. BY CAPT. A. LAWSON, LOUISVILLE, KY. I have been interested in the correspondence about General Sherman, and I give observations after my capture on November 24, 1864, and my escape on December 7, 1864 What Major Boyd had to say about Sherman is astonishing. Sherman must have hoodooed him. That any Confederate veteran would praise Sherman is incomprehensible. I was captured between Milledgeville and Augusta, Ga. I made my escape fifteen miles this side of Savannah. I saw with my own eyes the devastation made by Sherman's army. He made "a black mark to the sea." I saw ladies with children in their arms driven out of their homes, and everything they had destroyed. After I made my escape, I went back three days on Sherman's back track, and I found nothing to eat, no hogs, no cattle, no sheep, not even a chicken. Some of the finest ladies in Georgia were in abandoned camps picking up grains of corn to appease hunger who a week before had never known want.
