VINCENT W. HAIZLIP.

    Vincent W. Haizlip, whose death occurred on May19, 1914, was born in
Pittsylvania County, Va., January 7, 1836.  At the outbreak of the War 
Between the States he was in the prime of young manhood, with a wife and
two children. In May, 1861, he enlisted in Company G,21st North Carolina
troops, and served in all the principal campaigns and engagements in which
the Army of Northern Virginia took part up to the second battle of Manassas,
where he was twice wounded. From a private he rose to a first lieutenant
and was commanding his company when he fell severely wounded. At the same
time fell also his major, Saunders Fulton.

Comrade Haizlip was off duty about a year on account of his wounds, but
again entered the service in 1863 as a member of Company H, 2d North 
Carolina Cavalry, commanded by William Henry Lee, son of Gen. R. E. Lee,
and served as an officer in this command until the surrender. At the
close of the war he returned to his desolated home. Like many another,
broken in fortune, he turned his footsteps to the undeveloped West. With
his wife and children he began life anew in Illinois. Success crowned 
his honest efforts, but there was little room for a veteran of the Stars
and Bars in that State. After a residence of seven years, he moved to 
Texas in 1873 and located in Grayson County, where he had resided 
continuously since.

He was married four times. The twelve children of the first three wives
survive him, with the last wife who was faithful and devoted in his long
illness.
