He was a noble, good man and a leader in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. In him was all that it takes to make a good and true Christian gentleman. "R. J.

He was a member of Company F, 35th Alabama Regiment, and was severely wounded in Georgia, a hole made in his head by a ball. He was an active member of the Methodist Church and the U. C. V.
