All, Saw this article and noticed many names that some of the list servers members are researching and thought I should past it on. Would appreciate if anybody has additional info on this Camp. Gary Sutphin This is transcribed from The Floyd Rifleman, August 1998 , the newsletter of Stuarts Horse Artillery, Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp # 1784, Floyd, VA. A handwritten note in margin states this article was written by Rudy West and appeared in the Floyd Press newspaper in 1939. The same note also states that T. K. DeWitt, 4th VA Infantry, who died in 1940, was the last surviving Confederate Soldier from Floyd County. The note contradicts the text of the article and the closest listing in the VA Records Library in Richmond is for a Thomas R. DeWitt, 3rd VA Reserves. United Confederate Veterans Camp #111, Floyd, VA The soldiers of the Confederacy from Floyd County were organized in 1903. Their organization was called Camp Number 111. The charter was dated September 28, 1903. The following men were listed as the first officers of the organization: Dr. C. M. Stigleman, Commander Major A. Hartman, 1st Lt. B. Bishop, 2nd Lt. W. T. Sowers, 3rd Lt. N. J. Agnew, Adjutant J. W. Lee, Treasurer Col. P. F. Howell, Quartermaster Capt. P. F. Shelton, Sergeant Major Lt. David Willis, Officer of the Day M. Chingpeel, Color Bearer W. M. Shelor, 1st Color Bearer G. M. Whitlow, 2nd Color Bearer Dr. T. H. Howard, Surgeon Dr. A. J. Hoback, Assistant Surgeon Rev. A. Hogan, Chaplain From the record book, it appears that this organization was kept active until early 1930’s. A note in the record book then has this statement: “There was present in 1908 twenty seven members; in 1920 fourteen members and in 1930 seven members.” As far as it could be learned, the last Confederate Soldier in the County to die was John K. Lovell, September, 1938. (H. E. Howard’s 54th Virginia Regimental history series list his name as James K. Lovell). He served in Company D, 54th Virginia Infantry Regiment. The unit for the wives, daughters, and granddaughters of the Soldiers of the Confederacy was called the Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). At the same period of time as for Camp No. 111, there was an active chapter of the UDC.
