                 Confederate Veteran Passes Away, Aged 81
        W.A. Oglesby Dies At His Home On Dalton Road, Five Miles From Rome

After a long life of service for his friends and for his country, W.A. Oglesby 
died Wednesday at his home four and half miles from Rome on the Dalton road.
Mr. Oglesby was 81 years of age. He moved to Floyd county over a half century 
ago, and when the war broke out joined Curry's company in the First Georgia. He 
displayed bravery and valor in many battles and was ever ready to lay down his 
life for the southland.
At the close he lived a quiet farmer's life, devoted to his family and friends. 
He was a member of the Floyd county Camp No. 358, United Confederate Veterans. 
He leaves a wife, three step-children and several brothers-in-law and a sister-
in-law.
The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Pleasant 
Valley church, the Rev. C.L. Conn officiating. The pallbearers are George 
Warren, Pink Watters, Joe Harris, Eli Floyd, D.P. Phillips and Pink Storey.  
They are requested to meet at the residence at 2 o'clock. All veterans who can 
are requested to attend the services.
