Officers, non-commissioned officers and privates knowing the names of men who died in service, or were killed in action, belonging to the company, are requested to forward such names to me immediately, stating the date of death as near as possible.

It is to be hoped that the above request will be complied with at as early a day as possible. The Monumental Society of Hardeman county, of which Mrs. R. P. NEELY is president, is anxious to perfect the work which has been voluntarily taken in hand. Commissioned, non-commissioned officers and privates who served in the lost cause, and who are acquainted with the named of persons from this county who lost their lives in battle or disease during the war, are urgently requested to forward information to the society at once, as a monument is to be built sacred to the memory of the Confederate dead, on which their names are to be engraved.
