The Tensas Gazette--St. Joseph, LA Page 6, Wednesday, May 29, 2002 Memorial Service honors ancestor By: Robin Myers Editor Jackie David and Ronald David Hilbun, from the Franklin Sharpshooters Camp 1111 planned a very special memorial service to honor their Confederate ancestor, David Hilbun, on April 27, at 2:00 p.m. at the Atlanta Methodist Cemetery in Atlanta, Louisiana. One chapter of the U.D.C (United Daughters of the Confederacy), four chapters of the O.C.R. (Louisiana Order of Confederate Rose), and nine camps of the S.C.V. (Sons of Confederate Veterans) were represented at the service. Captain Ted Brode conducted the service with the help of the 4th Battalion Rifle Co., Semes Battery, U.D.C., O.C.R. and Bugler Gene Free with Ronald Hilbun and mount with reversed boots. Brode's service mentioned David Hilbun's suffering, capture, humiliation, sickness, and family tragedy in doing his duty to country and community. In conclusion, Brode noted Hilbun's recovery and come back to serve his community again when he helped end a reign of terror in 1879. David Fleming Hilbun, a native of Winn Parish, rests in peace in the Atlanta Methodist Cemetery. He was born in Lowndes County, Alabama and died July 20, 1903 at the age of 70 from injuries received while breaking a horse. Mr. Hilbun enlisted in the Confederate Army August 21, 1862, when is Co., F, 33rd Regiment Partisan Rangers was accepted by Major General Richard Taylor. This regiment later became Vincent's 2nd Louisiana Calvary. David Hilbun was one of a company of vigilantes who rode against the nightriders of the infamous west Kimbrell Clan. These vigilantes' main weapon was not their shotguns and hangman's nooses, but rather the pre-signed pardon's Jim Maben had obtained from the Governor. Names were to be added and dated when the call for "Boots and Saddles" was deemed necessary. The Federals had disbanded and prohibited State Militias. Despite repeated requests, federal help was not forthcoming. Hilbun was captured at Henderson's Hill twenty miles up Bayou Rapides above Alexandria on March 21, 1864. This surprise Union attack of three infantry regiments and one Brigade of Federal Cavalry came trough <sic> rain, hail, and darkness to capture some 250 Confederate men and mounts, including all four guns of a Texas battery caught off guard. Three days later, they (Sherman's "Gorilla-guerrillas") paraded their captives before general banks <sic> in caged carts through the streets of Alexandria. Hilbun was processed in New Orleans and was diagnosed with acute diarrhea, probably typhoid. He was exchanged at Red River Landing, March 21, 1864. Hilbun, sick and weak from his illness, was stricken with visions of death in his family. He knew he still had the Red River to cross and miles to walk, and time was of the essence. He soon wandered across a federal encampment and acquisitioned <sic> a U. S. Mule. He made his run through the federal pickets and musket fire unscathed, but the mule was not as lucky. Thankfully, before dying the mule swam the river, and some miles down the road became the dried meat which have <sig> Hilbun the physical strength to make it home. As his wife, Rebecca Ann Brock Hilbun, peered out the kitchen window at the ghostly figure coming down the road, little did she realize that her husband was home in time to bury two of their children. There were many family members present for the memorial service but to the dismay of the great, great, great grandchildren, they were not allowed to attend this memorial service.

Seems she married a Mr. Bonnett at some point, but lost him through divorce or his death, and had moved back home by 1880. If you or anyone reading this message has information about Mary Catherine Kelly Bonnett (who married Hamilton Spikes around 1889 and proceeded to have six Spikes children), please reply. Thanks!

Does anyone on the list know the parents of Josephine Shumake Harper wife of Samuel J. Harper, Jr.? I think she may be a link to one of my families - but I need some history. Thank you Betty Jean Weems Neathery bwneath@iamerica.net
