"Veterans To Be Honored Guests"
(Published in The Franklin Press, May 2, 1929)
"At Macon County
Centennial on June 15th, Attorney
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
