Though death has been busy in the ranks of the veterans, twenty-five survivors of the Great Struggle are among us today. All of the old heroes are more than 75 years of age. As nearly as can be computed, the names and ages of the veterans are as follows: T. A. BOYD 83, H. J. BOGGUS, 82, of Oxford. R. H. COOPER, 81, of Mansfield. DR. W. W. EVANS, 83, of Oxford. S. C. FINCHER, 82, G. F. HARRIS, 87, Oxford. S. S. HAYS, 83, Oxford. D. T. HYATT, 81, Oxford. CHARLES KITCHENS, 80, DR. J. W. LEE, 85, R. L. MEADORS, 79, Oxford. JACK McGEE, 80, H. H. MABRY, 79, Oxford H. B. MEADORS, 85, J. W. ROBERTSON, 81, Almon. G. W. ST JOHN, 81, Oxford. J. T. STALLSWORTH, 80, Porterdale. J. W. SOCKWELL, 80, C. J. TANKERSLY, 82, Porterdale. D. A. THOMPSON, 79, S. T. WHEELER, 81, Oxford. N. R. WOOD, Lithonia, (no age given) J. H. WILLINGHAM, 79, R. I. WEAVER, 81, J. M. BRADLEY, (no age given), Starrsville. J. P. THOMPSON, 80. Practically all the veterans belong to Jefferson Lamar Camp, U. D. V. of which organization D. A. Thompson is commander and R. I. Weaver is adjutant. The most significant and remarkable thing about this list is that so many survivors of the titanic struggle remain among us. Too much cannot be done for these heroes of ‘61 to ‘65. In the absence of Col. A. L. Loyd, Clerk Nixon has charge of the distribution of pensions.
