Capt. W. L. Ditto, still lives in Flordia, Lieut. D. H. Allen went bacjk to
Kentucky, married, went into business in Louisville and nothing has been heard
of him for many years.
J. J. bailey is living in Shreveport, to him as well as to Capt. Ditto thanks
are tendered for information concerning this company.
A letter from a gentleman in Burns, Tenn., gives the information that John
Butler claims to have belonged to Company "K", hence his name has been placed
on this role.
Ellis Ogle of this company was the first man of the regiment killed in a fight
in Capt. Gus Scott's "Granny White" pike charge near Franklin, Tenn.
Capt. Wm. L. Ditto of "K" is living at Ocala, Fla. And the following extracts
from a letter received form him dated February 21st 1899, will perhaps be of
interest to the old boys; "I am proud of the old regiment; I am proud of her
men and her glorious record. I am so glad my dear comrade to hear from you.  I
am now 73 years old, but heathy, strong and active, able to do most any kind
of work.  I am the commander of Marion County Camp, U.C.V., No 56, and have
been for several years, and more than this and more than all, I am a Christian
and saved up to date, and hope and pray that you are the same.  I am a
Methodist.  I have my wife, four sons and one daughter with me in Florida. 
Would be much pleased to hear from you at any time.  I am so glad to hear from
you.  With my best wishes and prayers for your success, health and happiness,
I am sincerely your friend and comrade, W. L. Ditto.
