Alexandria, Va., February 17, 1896. On the last Sunday in August, 1860, at The Forks, in Cumberland county, Virginia, was gathered a body of sixteen youths, with two exceptions, between the ages of fifteen and twenty.

The following spring, at eighty-six, Mrs. Page died, living not quite long enough to see how completely she had been in error. The sixteen lads who left her in August, 1860, within eleven months of that leave-taking had, every one, entered the military service of the Confederate States. Two of them had already fallen in battle, and three had been wounded.
