Three More Pass Away

William Acree, W.B. Goode and
Jarvis B. Hoggard Die in the 
Past Month

Brave Confederate Soldiers

Death has been busy thinning the ranks of the old Confederates. Within a week or two, three of these brave soldiers have answered the final roll call.

William Acree was a farmer in the Roxobel section. He loved the last cause. The yearly pilgrimage to the reunion gave him a much prized opportunity to greet those who marched with him on the bloody fields of Virginia.  He stood well in his community. He was a member of Davie Masonic Lodge at Roxobel and in good fellowship with Sandy Runn Baptist Church.  Respect was paid to him in the burial for many friends followed it to its narrow house.  [buried in Acree Cemetery, Roxobel - Sept 30, 1912]
[Co F 59th  Acre, William, Private:  Resided in Bertie County where he enlisted
on August 9, 1862, at the age of 22.  Wounded in action on June 9,
1863, near the Rappahannock River, Virginia.  Present or accounted for
through October 1864, date of last available muster roll.]

Jarvis B. Hoggard
Jarvis B. Hoggard left an arm at Spotsylvania. He was a brave as the bravest. He spoke but few words. He was obedient to command. "Forward March" meant for him the cannon's mouth, if need be. His comrades honored him with the Presidency of their Association. He presided well. He was a plain man, but every inch of him was true gold. He tilled his small field. He had the respect of his fellow citizen. He bravely met the grim conquorer.
[Hoggard, Jarvis B., Private:  Resided in Bertie County where he
enlisted on April 1, 1862, at the age of 21.  Present or accounted for
until wounded in the left arm at Spotsylvania Court House, Virginia,
on May 10, 1864.  Left arm amputated.  Reported absent wounded or
absent sick through February 1865. Co G 32nd]


Richard W. Goode
Richard W. Goode came here from Virginia. He loved the Confederacy. He was one of Jubal Earley's Calvary (rest of clipping missing)
