A Mother Of The Confederacy

There are many Daughters of the Confederacy.  Some Sisters, but few Mothers.  
And to us, perhaps only one mother.  She is Mrs. Eliza Callier.  It was a 
chivalrous sentiment that prompted Mr. Robert Mizell on Memorial Day, to gather 
a posy of Spring’s rarest roses, bind them with satin streamers, and carry them 
to this noble mother of the Confederacy.  The presentation was full of 
appreciation, and fraught with emotion. And if words could have found 
expression in this holy scene they would have said in part: “Your patriotic 
achievements are sacred in the hearts of all who know you.  Through all the 
years of your long life, how sublime your influence, your patience, your 
sufferings and your example.  We bring to you this floral offering in token of 
our unfading admiration and tenderness.  The more than four score and ten years 
have been blessings, everyone, and they are glassed in the mind of Him who 
crowns every virtue and rewards every sacrifice.”
