There is so much rich history in them. Does anyone have more info about General N.G. Evans whose obituary was given? Was he related to Nathaniel Evans who married Edith Godbold in Marion County. S. Carolina? Thank you. Freda "DEATH OF GENERAL N.G. EVANS THrough a private letter received by his relatives in our district, we regret to hear of the death of this gallant officer, Gen. N.G. EVANS, at Midway, Alabama, on the 23rd ult., after a short time, in the 45th year of his age. He leaves a widow and four children, and other relatives to mourn his loss. Gen. Evans was a man of no ordinary capacity and his serene courage and quick, clear military judgment, were exhibited on some of the most brilliant battle fields of war. Distinguishing himself in the conflicts with the Indians on the frontier, he received a sword from the State as at testimonial of her appreciation of his services. His quick realization of the situation at the first Manassas and the inflinching courage with which he stayed the course of defeat in the early hours of that eventful day, his brilliant success at Leesburg, stamp him as a man of true military genius. If he had his faults they were those of a noble nature. Of a sanguine temperament and frank, fearless nature, he made enemies but the same qualities of mind and temper endeared him to the tried friends, whom he grappled with hooks or steel. Peace to his memory." ------ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SCABBEVI-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Robin ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
