Reunion Confederate Veterans

"The annuan reunion of Confederate Veterans of Virginia is now being held in 
Roanoke.  Yesterday was the first day and while the weather was very 
propitious, the attandance was fairly good and the enthusiasm up to the 
standard.  Hupp-Duyerle Camp in command of Mr. G.W. Zickle went down in a 
body this morning, as did the Salem chapter of the Daughters of the 
Confederacy.  Among the distinguished members of Hupp-Deyerle Camp is our own 
Mifflin Ballard, who did service during the war as a member of the Salem 
Flying Artillery, which company was at Appomattox, and history says that M.J. 
Ballard rammed down the ball which constituted the last
shot fired on that historic battlefield."
