Jackson Argus November 1901
McCord, Judge James Rufus
In tearing down the old Judge James Rufus McCord residence to build the new 
house for Joe W. Carmichael, the workmen found in the roof of the second story 
(where it had been concealed when the Yankees came through) an old stencil plate 
made by Judge McCord and used by the first company of Confederate soldiers 
enlisted in Jackson to mark their tents, haversacks, etc.  It reads “Jeff Davis 
Riflemen,” which was the company gotten up by Felix Price, and of which he 
afterwards became captain.  Mr. Carmichael presented the plate to Capt. J. Wm. 
McCord, who values the relic highly; both as a war relic and as a memento of his 
father’s devotion to the cause of the confederacy.  The plate had been in the 
second story eaves of the home for over 37 years, when discovered the other day.
