Articles from CONFEDERATE VETERAN mag's., dated 1916-1917. These are not directly from Rutherfordton but they are North Carolina soldiers and I hope you fine interesting. ONLY LIVING CONFEDERATE TWINS A.M. and EDWARD CURRIE were born at Lumber Bridge, N.C., Sept.6, 1840 and both now live on a plantation where they were born. EDWARD CURRIE enlisted in June, 1861, in Co. F., 24th North Carolina, RANSOM'S Brigade, was wounded at Sharpsburg and surrendered at Appomattox. He has always been greatly interested in military affairs and was presented a gold-headed cane by the Lumber Bridge Light Infantry a few years ago. One of his twin sons is a Spanish War veteran. A.M. CURRIE was first stationed at Fort Moultrie, Charleston, S.C. and was then transferred to Co. D, 51st North Carolina, CLINGMAN'S Brigade and won a name for fearlessness under fire. He takes great interest in the social and political interests of his town. He is unmarried. I hear commercial interests are mutual and their home life beautiful. --- DAVID GREEN TILLY was born in Stokes County, N.C. Nov. 16, 1834 and departed this life on July 9, 1916. At the age of 8 years he went to Mountain City, Tenn. In 1860 he was married to MISS ELIZABETH BARBARA DUFF. He served in the 6th NC Cavalry during the war. In Sept. 1865m he removed to Illnois. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and for several years served as Sunday school superintendent in Clay City, Ill. Having no children of his own, he took an orphan boy and girl and reared them to manhood and womanhood. Comrade TILLY was of generous and sympathetic nature and worthy to be classed with the upright. He is survived by his wife, three brothers and one sister. --- NORTH CAROLINA U.D.C. by MRS. JOHN D. LEAK, Wadesboro, N.C. I am happy to tell the readers of the VETERAN that the U.D.C.'s in the Old North State are ever doing a fine work and fully alive in the interests of the order. In Feb., MRS. R.E. LITTLE, our State President since last Oct., visited High Point, where she was beautifully entertained and made an address on LEE- JACKSON Day. From there she went to Raleigh to appear with a committee before the legislature in the interest of pending measures. She is now on a visit to the historic town of Fayetteville, where an Old Ladies Home , in which the Daughters are interested, is to be located. We are trying heartily to cooperate with schools and teachers in the use of proper textbooks and in stimulating interest in Southern history and research. { WOW!} The Children of the Confederacy in Charlotte, under the able leadership of MRS. H.D. BURKHEIMER, are doing a splendid work. Pitt County came to the front several months ago with the dedication of a handsome Confederate monument at Greenville, which stands as a lasting memorial to the bravery, the heroisms , the sacrifices and sorrow of the South's gigantic struggle of 1861-65. I hope to be able to give to you some interesting information in regard to this wonderful order of noble women in oue State, whose very name, the Daughters of the Confederacy, is dear to our beloved Southland. --- [ What is the U.D.C.doing today in Rutherfordton ?
