The memorial resolutions by the Confederate Veteran Camp at Hearne, Tex., in tribute to C. C. Stone, a valued member who died in July, 1921, express the esteem in which he was held by his comrades. Ony three members of that Camp are left-Richard Boswell, A. G. Cobb, and T. W. McNeel-and all sign these resolutions. C. C. Stone joined the Confederate army in June, 1861, and was not fifteen years old until the following October. After the battle of Shiloh he was discharged on account of age of his age, but within a few weeks he joined Company K, 12th Kentucky Cavalry, in which he served until the close of the war. One brother, G. B. Stone, of Humboldt, Tenn., survives him.
