ANOTHER OLD CONFEDERATE PASSES AWAY

Mathew Meador died Thursday, at the home of his son, A. P. 
Meador, who resides on the Bluesotne River, between Lilly and 
True, this county. His death was rather sudden, tho'  he had 
been in a feeble state of health for some time.

Mr Meador, who had reached the great age of 87 years, was a 
veteran of the Civil War, being allied with the Confederate army 
much of the time, of the great struggle between the states.  He 
was in the battle of the Seven Pines and was later captured at 
Richmond, Va., by the Union forces.

He is survived by two sons, J. T., of Crumps Bottom, and A. P. 
Meador,of near True.  Funeral services were held Friday and burial 
followed in the afternoon in the cemetery at True.  Rev. Lilly, 
of Jumping Branch, had charge of the servies.
