"Veterans To Be Honored Guests"

(Published in The Franklin Press, May 2, 1929)

"At Macon County Centennial on June 15th, Attorney
and Mrs T J Johnston To Entertain the "Soldiers in Gray."

Plans for the Centennial are progressing nicely. Among the interesting features of the celebration will be a general roll call of the old Confederate Veterans who will be the guests of Attorney and Mrs T J Johnston. According to the records at the court house there are only eighteen of the old soldiers alive in Macon county. Perhaps there is an error in the list. If so the committee in charge of arrangements requests that the list be revised. If there are veterans whose names do not appear below, their names should be sent to Mrs F L Siler at Franklin. The survivors of the Lost Cause are dear to the people of Macon county and the entire county will take delight in paying their homage on June 15th. The list of survivors appears below:

John N Arnold, Company K, 9th; J C Bates, Company B, 39th; J A Bates, Company B, 39th; John L Cabe, Company I, 39th, J L Conley, Company E, 6th; J H Deweese, Company K, 9th; W M Gregory, Company C, 6th, R H Hall, Company A, 65th; Jefferson Martin, Company B, 29th, W C Mason, Company (illegible); S W Picklesimer, Company H, 16th; Sam Ramsey, Company (Berry's) Thomas Legion, T W Rhodes, Company B, 39th, A M Shope, Company D, 62nd; James Stockton, Company I, Thomas's Legion; J T Winstead, Company I, 39th; William E Roper, Company B, 16th, W W Haney, Company B, 39th.
