Was a Confederate soldier - volunteered and joined the 15th Texas Infantry when 14 years old, and was a drummer boy for his regiment.  In early 1862 he was detailed to help gather field cattle for the army, which position he continued until the close of the war.

He married Miss Mary Boone in 1869 and to this union were born 3 sons.  The mother and sons survive him.

His [life of?] toil and care, earth its sunshine and shadows in over.  May his soul rest in peace.
