SHUGART, D. P.- Matt Aschroft U.C.V. - Our faithful comrade died at the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. Wm. Lemmons, on February 4, 1915. He was born in
Troop County, Virginia, September 23, 1845. In 1863, he volunteered in Co. A.,
10th Confederate Cavalry. He participated in the battles around Dalton and
Atlanta; was with his command in Virginia and North and South Carolina; was
wounded at Rasaca, and in that campaign had two horses killed under him, and
surrendered at the close of the war. In the early part of 1870, he moved to this
county and in November 1870 was married to Miss Uco (sic) Sims, who died some
years ago. He is survived by three daughters.
