Is there anyway to get a JPEG file of the picture that accompanied this article to be used on the Jernigan Homepage? I tried scanning the newspaper article but it did not make a good copy- Too much bleeding through. >From Early CO News 6 Sept 1934 Death Claims Another Veteran of Confederacy Mr. David S. Jernigan Passed away Peacefully Early Saturday Night Death is fast claiming the few remaining Veterans of the Confederacy, and on Saturday night removed the only living follower of Jackson and Lee who enlisted from Early County in the War Between the Sates. Mr. David S. Jernigan passed away peacefully about 9 O'clock Saturday night at the home of his son, Mr. D. B. Jernigan, in this city, after a week's illness. Having reached the remarkable age of 93 years and vigorous and active for the greater part of this time, the human mechanism finally surrendered to the Grim Reaper. Mr. Jernigan was a native of this county, although born in territory which has since been cut from the original Early. He was born at Fort Gaines on March 13, 1841, hence was in his 94th year. He spent nearly 62 years of his life in Clay County, coming to Early 32 years ago. For the past 22 years he had made his home with his son in Blakley. When the call to arms was sounded at the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in 1861 under Captain Crawford in Company 1 of the Early Guards. He served throughout the four years of the war. He was wounded and bore scars from that struggle. He could reminisce in a most interesting manner of the experiences of that momentous period in the life of the old South. Funeral services for Mr. Jernigan were held from the Methodist church-of which the deceased was the oldest living member-Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. The Rev. R. L. Whitehead, pastor of the church paid tribute to the fine qualities of the deceased as a citizen and Christian and his valor as a soldier. Interment followed in the city cemetery with the Stars and Bars -flag of the Confederacy- draped across the casket. Pallbearers and honorary escort included Messrs. M.T. Chipstead, G.O. Gunter, G.M. Sparks, John G. Butler, W.J. Grist, W.C. Jordan, R.C. Singletary, C.A. Grubbs, Grady Holman, Thurman Hodges, and W.C. Cook. Surviving are five children, viz: D.B. Jernigan, of Blakely; J. D. Jernigan of Fort Gaines; Mrs. J. M. Martin, of Enterprise, ALA; Mrs. J. W. Harrell and Mrs. W.H. Rankin, of Tuscaloosa, Ala. 28 grandchildren and 48 great-grandchildren also survive. Barbara
