The following members of Talladega Camp, No. 246, U. C. V., have died during the past year: Dr. J. W. Heacock died suddenly on April 28, 1920. He entered the Confederate army in May, 1861, as a member of Company E, 10th Alabama Regiment, and served throughout the war in Virginia. He was appointed a lieutenant of sharpshooters. T. J.
