joining her sister, Mrs. Charlie
Powell and Mrs. W. C. Vereen and
Mrs. E. M. Vereen, all of Moultrie,
I “ Memories”
Last week our minds were taken
back to things that our fathers did,
: the loyalty they showed to their
1 country, and the many happening’
that they used to relate to us, af
ter the war was over.
My Father volunteered in the
! early part of 1864 and did service
in Kentucky and Tennessee dur
ing that year, but after recovering
from a severe spell of sickness, he
spent the remainder of the war at
Andersonv > guarding prisoner
I there. He said one could really se
| what war was, the suffering, a
j even death that stared was the one in and the face, only
j thing you
; day and night.
He would tell how the huge
; prison was constructed, large pine
! trees were cut down and cut into
16 foot lengths and then split in
half. They dug a ditch four feet
deep, then stood those logs upright
' in the ditch, which left 12 feet
above the ground. Now they had
to cut logs enough to enclose 15
acres, this would make a pretty
nice example for some school boy
or girl to figure out how many
! trees it would take to build the
wall, figuring that the trees 16
inches in diameter, and also how
i many feet of square edge lumber
could have been made out of the
trees.
I just mentioned this to show
what work and expense there is
to war that some people don’t ev
en think of, even before the war
j wa* over they captured so many
yankees that the fifteen acres was
not large enough so they added 10
acres more, and built the wall the
same way.
1 have forgotten just how many
dead ones would have to be re
moved every morning It was
something like an average of 50
a day, the prisoners were required
to bury the dead.
I want to say right here, but I
am saying it reverently and with
a feeling of sincere regret that our
beloved Southland was not able to
give a more decent burial, a com
mon wagon was the vehicle that
was used in place of a hearse, and
the army blanket was the casket.
Why shouldn’t we feel proud of
our Southland of today that has
arisen from the ravages of war and
poverty, and taken its place in the
manufacturing, and industrial
world and also the educational and
religious realms where our chil
j dren may live in an atmosphere
that will make their lives a liv
I mg monument to the country in
| which they liVe, and to their fore
bears who fought, bled and died
for their beloved confederated
South.
So may we he ever ready at all
times to serve, wth the hest of ev
I erything that it takes to give com
plete satisfaction, in the time of
sorrow, when you want the best
attention that trained attendants
car give.
