1 am gentlemen,
Your most ob’t’ servant,
John J» Hyman.
Ladles and Gentlemen.
The Ladies Memorial Association
of Washington county calls upon
us tojoio'iti with them to-day to
fulfill a sorrowful but a noble duty.
It is to recognize in the face of the
country and a civilized world the
loss of your sons, your brothers,
your fathers, you* husbands, and
your lovers, and to offer to the
ashes of the .heroes of’61, 2, 8, 4,
and 5, solemn anguish of be
reaved liArtrts, I am sure therefore
that I express a feeling common
to every one presest when I say
that thei'e is sofnethiug more than
ordinarily solemn nnd affecting on
this occrfssion. Wc are here to
testify our high regard for those
whose names by reason of valor,
«ilf denial and love of liberty, are
engraved, as it wore, in letters of
Gold upon.the silver lining ot our
hearts ijlfd memories. There is
a powerJj»n irresistible power in
association, and the excercise of
that power, awakens slumbering
thoughts both pjeqsant and mourn
ful. While iTook upon that Gray
worn by old war veterans, the
same I once wore, for which I am
not asjtmined, oh, how do rec-
collcctums ot former times, of bv
gone days, crowd upon my mind.
The 6(5<ijpfcs ! &i' tiresome marches,the
soldiers camps, the cainp fires, the
hard fought'battles, the groans ot
the vroinvdid and dying are before
us, it calls up the memory of those
since then nnd have much learned
and much forgotton yet nothing
lias transpired sufficient to fully
cinse the memory of our fallen
braves from our minds.
Now for a moment let us go to
the field of action.
During the war 1 was n Chap
lain, please allow mo to say i
word to the little folks, I said I
was a chaplain, I mean by tha*
to sny I was a preacher for the
soldiers, that was my business; wc
had no churchs, that is tho soldiers
had none, our pulpit sometimes
was a stump, at other times a log,
however tny regiment did in the
winter of ’64 and ’65 build me a
church houseandpulpit, we did not
enjoy it long, for we were ordered
off. The soldiersas a general thing
loved to hear preaching mid loved
to sing.The last song 1 heard sung
in tho army was utter I had preach
ed my farewell sermon on the
night of the lltli of April i805, it
was tlmt beautiful song, “We’re
Homeward Hound, Homeward
Hound.” I also nursed the woun
ded and the sick, I often thought 1
fid the work of preacher, mother,
sister nnd wife, tlmt is I did in
part what they, would have done
for them had they been there. My
associations with the soldiers were
pleasant nnd enabled me to learn
much of soldier life and hard
ships. The soldiers wore not the
rough unprincipled men some sup
posed them to bo, they were not
lovoid of all the fine passions and
principles of the human heart,
they carried with them to the fields
tho early lessons of childhood, to
love kindness. It was there l first
discovered a germ of affection tor
ono of your noble citizens, Capt.
Harris, lie was fine looking then
as now, and met his friends with
a smile, but it wits apt those that
caused me to love him. it was liis
kindness, kindness in hauling my
blankets, I should have said our
blankets, I will here whisper in
theCaptn's. ear what 1 have never
told him, that large roll of blan
kets you hauled for ino was not
all mine, the boys would slip in
theirs and call them tho parsons,
they were always careful to put
.mo of lnino on tho outside, all
that were interested in that roll
learned to love tho Capt,. for his
kindness. Old Cupid did not for
sake the soldiers in camp, it was
there I learned the name of his
wife. Like tho most of us he
would sometimes get homesick, it
was amusing at times to hour him
tell ot Miss Mury ns he culled her
her name was tanuliAr, he loved
that nume, his wife’s name; I on
ly speak ef him as a sample of
thousands, though soldiers, far
away from home and its restraints
and influences, yet they had a
tender regard for things at home.
It is a slander to say that the sol
diers forget loved ones ut home,
mothers, wives, sisters and lovers
were every day thought of and
talked about, and it could have
been said “though sundered fur;
by faith they met their friends
daily, around one common mercy
seat.” At Spottsylvania Court
House on the 12th of May i864,
Gen. Hancock, u braver soldier
never lived, with some of the best
troops of Gen. Grant’s army, for it
took them to meet Lee, penetra
ted our exposed lines, no sooner
had the news reached tho old chief-
tian, Gen. Lee’s ear than ho call
ed tor that heroic knight, Gen. J.
B. Gordon to take the undaunted
Gen. E. L. Thomas with liis bri
gade, all Georgians, and retake the
works. Never till my latest breath
shall I forget that scene, ten Ga.
Regiments all in line, ready to
rush into the jaws of death, just
before the order to charge was
heard, one of your noble sons,
than whom there is none braver,
came to me, handed me his watch
and remarked “Parson I realize
the danger and I fear the conse
quences, but tor my country, niv
mother and my sister I go; he did
go and well did he do his part in
leading to victory one of Georgia’s
best regiments, I withhold his
name as he is not present, ladies
you were not forgotton by the
soldiers. But enough about the
living, the first soldier I saw killed
was a Washington county boy a
Mr. Mutt Williams 1st flag bearer
of the 49th Ga. Reg., as befell 1
caught him, J laid liis head upon
itigton county passed away early
in the war in the person ot' Lafey-
ette Cummings, upon his grave
you'll not lay a rose to-day, my
mind us with electricty dashes over
to the Gettysburg heights where
so many of our boys lost their lives
and none more noble passed away
tlmt day than Capt. C. M. Jones,
(Charlie,! near a Pennsylvania
barn will be found the remains of
one of your best men, he was so
pleasant that, as it was said with
tiis sword on he was “Capt. Jones,”
with his sword off he was “Charlie
Jones.” Yes tho same Charlie he was
oifyour streets,ho was killed in that
great battle, these hands associa
ted with the hands of some others
made a box.out of rough hoards
torn from an old barn, I believe
we dug a grave with bayonets use-
ing our hands to shovel out the
dirt,I carved his name upon rough
boards, placed them at tho foot
and headwind we turned our hacks
upon the hallowed spot, his grave
will not he adorned by you to-day.
Time fails me to mention Capt.
Joe Duggan, Lt Marshal Kinmunn
and hundreds of other noble spirits,
as noble as the world ever knew,
some of which had graves, but fur
away from home, the bright sun
of to-morrow will shine upon the
sacred spots where they lie without
a withered flower between.
The most affecting scene I saw
during the war was the Couawiiy boys,
brothers, Washington county boys,
lioiug in each others embrace, killed
at the same time, they fell together,
the arm of the younger across the
breast of the older, this was at the bai
lie of the Wilderness, they lovod each
other, they loved thoir country, for it
their lives wero giveu, their graves, il
graves they have you'll not stand
aroutid to-day. We would love to do
them honor, what can we better do
than to raise n monument of Gu. gran
ite and curve their u iiues in marble,
cau it not bo done, what is it tlmt the
Indies of Washington county c.iu’t do
Tho same may be said of Thom s Eu-
bunks and son of your city, killed ou
the 9th of July 1 HO 1 at Monocnuy in
Maryland, ami fell in each others em
brace.
From those scenes of blood mid death
allow me lo turn to our homes mi '
their interests. The veteran of '61
conscientiously believed that there
were dangerous elements threatening
the prosperity, liberty and | tract! ol
our country, our homo and firesides,
these elements were sectional politico
schemes, and centralizing power, in
defense of their couutry they Miisheuth
ed the sword unboxed the rille ami
rolled out cannon nnd outcred the con
flict ; their pass word was our country,
our homes and our firesides ! hut they
were overpowered. The result of
that war has been a beacon light to
reveal other dangerous elements, hit!
whatever those elements arc for the
well fare of ihe rising general ion they
must he overcome, overcome for our
countries prosperity, for when tli
wicked ruletii the country mourneth.
where corruption is allowed property
follows, where vice is practiced im
mobility is tho fruit. Then down will
every dangerous clem ut, social, polit
leal and moral.
In the late war there was one con
soling thought, and tlmt thought was
not a mere fancy, but a reality, the
southern women were our friends, then
lo sing Ihe praises of those heroes
who espoused uud honored the Lost
Cause and not to more fully mention
the silent yet powerful influence of wo
men would be to discharge only a por
tion of my duties ou tins occasion
Ancient history tells of the noble mat
rons who cheerfully gave their sous
to tlieir country uud triumphantly bore
their de id bodi -s from the field ol
honor to the soldiers grave. But an
cient history has never presented u
scene equal to tlmt exhibited by our
southern women whea they felt that
honor was at stake and the tirusides
were iu danger, no mother was williu
for her child to say “my father stain
at home when his country was iavu-
ded.”
No Maiden was willing to claim
a lover who did not hasten to the
field of honor: fond mothers took
their sons while yet iu minority
eomrnitted them to God, and sent
them to the battle field. The no
ble wife of the Gullunt Gordon lias
but expressed tho feeling of every
Southern woman when she said
“every time he lelt me,L thought it
might be tho last, but i lmd rather
have seen him brought buck dead,
than to have tailored in tho dis
charge of duty.” lt was not wom
an’s province to lead armies to battle
yet many would have been williu,
but when man's heart was timid
woman’s words inspired valor.
Whereever, a yellow flag displayed
a hospital,woman’s bauds misister-
ed to the Hick and diying whenev
er a rail-road train passed with Sol
diers aboard, she would board it to
speak words of cheer, and carry
luxuries to supply the wants of the
inner man, and whereever a little
mound showed asoldier’sgrave, the
hallowed spot was oft bedewed by
womans tears. The frivolities ot
fashion, and the luxuries of life
were all abandoned that the cause
Noble women; we’than
those tributes to our fallen broth
ers, wc thank you that with every
returning spring sweet flowers
trimmed into beautiful wreaths by
your tenders bands reminds us
that our fallen comrades will ever
live in your hearts. These flowers
like our mortality must fade, but
their sweet fragrance like your holy
influence will never die.
As a fitting conclusion I have
adopted a recently published
poetical effusion of otto of Savan
nah’s noble women.
“Let us gather ncntli the laurels
Where the holy dust doth lie:
Let us pile the blooming flowers.
Twixt the marble and the sky.
