Would like to find other descendants of this family. Willing to trade information. This obituary found in the July, 1928 issue of Confederate Veteran Magazine: Louis Summers, poet laureate for Camp Winkler, U.C.V., of Corsicana, Tx died on March 14, 1928 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George Tucker, after an illness of several weeks. He was a Confederate soldier, enlisting in Company H, 8th Georgia Reg. and served throughout the war. A native of the state of Georgia, born near Atlanta, and possessing all the chivalry of a true Southern gentleman. Despite his eighty-five years, his memory was remarkable, enabling him to be one of the most interesting members of the Camp with his readings and compostions of prose and poetry, which were a special delight to his hearers. He was proud of his four year's service in the infantry, and his mind was rich with ideas and words with which to clothe his war time experiences. The South has lost a brave soldier and Camp Winkler a faithful member. He was a welcome visitor to the U.D.C. Chapter of Navarro County, and received great pleasure from attending reunions of Confederate Veterans. We shall miss him greatly. Now we can only try to emulate those traits of character; to imbibe those principles which contributed to the making of his striking personality. Mrs. W. A. Hammetts, Adjutant, Camp Winkler, U.C.V.
