J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 13: results of the work and proofs of its genuineness (search)
of battle was resuming its pleasant smile and settling into the repose of death. The soldier sought and obtained permission to bear the body from the field. When he delivered his charge to the friends of the dead lieutenant, his rough face was wet with tears, and he said to them, as with the promptings of a new life, He was the first who ever saw any good in me, or thought me capable of better things. I shall never forget him. Happy the man who is remembered thus! The family of Ellis Munford had the mournful pleasure— denied, alas! to so many others under like bereavement—of following his remains to the grave. He was buried in Hollywood Cemetery, near Richmond, his pastor, the Rev. Dr. Charles Minnegerode, conducting the funeral services. H. Everard Meade, of Petersburg, died at home, July 10, 1862, of disease contracted while serving in the Twelfth Virginia Regiment, and his death is thus recorded: Conscious that the end was near, and that the hour of his departure

ancellorsville. George Cayce, captain of the Purcell, one of the most able and resolute officers in the whole artillery corps, died after the war had ended of the desperate wound received at Spotsylvania. Ned Marye, captain of the Fredericksburg battery, whose merry quips cheered march and bivouac, died in ‘64 of disease contracted in the trenches of Petersburg. Of the lieutenants, all faithful soldiers and good officers— William Allen, of the Purcell, fell at Mechanicsville. Ellis Munford of the Letcher battery, their young Sir Galahad, whose strength was as the strength of ten, because his heart was pure, was slain at Malvern Hill. Mercer Featherstone, a daring young officer of great promise, fell at Cedar Mountain. Zeph Magruder, of the Purcell, and James Ellett, Of the Crenshaw, both fell at Fredericksburg. John H. Munford, of the Letcher, gallant and true, died of injuries received at Gettysburg. During the four years nearly every officer of the Battalion

P. Hill Camp. Major Brander's speech. Commander McCabe and Comrades of A. P. Hill Camp: It is with pleasure that I am with you to-night, to honor the memory of one who was so dear to us all. As I am unaccustomed to public speaking, and feel so unequal to the duty assigned me, I must beg that you will pardon me, if I read what I have to say on this interesting occasion. When 1 recall the names of R. L. Walker, W. J. Pegram, James and Robert Ellett, Greenlee Davidson, John and Ellis Munford, Edward Maynee, Joseph McGraw, G. M. Cayce and a host of others who formed one of the grandest artillery battalions in the Army of Northern Virginia, and who have now passed away, it awakens the tenderest memories of the past. In July, 1887, the Pegram Battalion Association, composed of the surviving members of batteries everyone of which were attached to the brigades forming A. P. Hill's Light Division, and afterwards as Pegram's battalion attached to the same division, and to the Th

is works that he put into the battle every man he had. General Jackson waited at White Oak Swamp during the battle of Frayser's Farm because he was directed to stay on this road until further orders. As a soldier he could do nothing else. He gave the same unquestioned obedience to the officer above him, that he demanded of those under his control. Moreover the stream was impassible for infantry under fire, and impassible for artillery without a bridge. Jackson and his staff, with Colonel Munford's cavalry, tested it, riding across through quagmires that took us up to the girths of our horses; but by a fierce artillery attack he kept Franklin's and part of Sumner's corps from joining with McCall to resist the attack at Frayser's Farm. This attack General Jackson began with twenty-eight pieces of artillery at twelve o'clock that day. The battle at Frayser's Farm began at five o'clock the same afternoon. White Oak Swamp road is but five miles distant. If General Lee had wanted J

The sons they had sent forth with the Roman matron's injunction were returning upon their shields.
