BOYS IN GRAY; ORIGINAL ROLL OF A COMPANY FORMED IN 1861

Monday morning, Captain B.F. Weathers brought into our office a tattered piece 
of paper, a clipping from "The Montgomery Advertiser" of ancient date. There is 
a considerable interest attached to this article, and we shall reproduce it 
for the benefit and pleasure it may be to the descendants and relatives of the 
old soldiers and to the veterans yet living.  

This clipping was found in the Bible of the late Mrs. Lucy White shortly after 
her death in this city the first of June. On the roll appears the name of a 
son of Mrs. White, Henry C. White, who died from exposure during the war and 
for whom his mother deeply grieved for many years.

This is the original muster roll of Company E, 17th Alabama Regiment, which 
was composed of volunteers from Roanoke and surrounding territory. It was 
organized Sept. 9, 1861 under the name of "The Dowdell Rangers" named in honor 
of the father of our Judge Dowdell, the former being the representative of 
this district in congress at that time. On the battlefield of Shiloh, in which 
this company bore a heroic part, Lieutenant B.F. Weathers was promoted to the 
rank of Captain.  
 
The names marked by a star are those who are still living, numbering 26.
