Recently while doing some Civil War Research, I came across the following article in the "Confederate Veteran Magazine" (Vol. 20, page 511), and since Billy's working on a Civil War Page for Bennie's site, I thought I'd pass it on..... CONFEDERATE MONUMENT AT QUITMAN, MISS. Over a thousand people gathered in Quitman October 24, 1911, to witness the unveiling of the monument erected to the Confederate soldiers. Mrs. Lewis, President of the local Chapter, U.D.C., assisted by eleven young ladies (Misses Ruth Edmiston, Mattie Neal, Gladys Barbour, Pauline Neal, Christine Lewis, Bessie Arrington, Lillian Doby, Grace Borbour, Mary Alice Massingale, Anna Lou Adams, Minnie May Boykin), all clad in white, represented the Confederate states. The monument was presented to the local Camp, U.C.V. in a beautiful speech by Mrs. C.S. Edmiston, and was accepted in behalf of the veterans by Col. I.B. Brown, who in turn presented it to Clarke County through the board of supervisors, and it was accepted by Joe E. McCartz, a member of the board from the Enterprise District. A delicious dinner was served by the ladies near the courthouse.
