CATALPA —

On the 22nd day of February another one of our friends and fellow comrades, R. A. WILSON, of Company F, 31st infantry died at his home near Creevy. He was elected 2nd lieutenant in place of D. S. CHANDLER, resigned and served until the 31st and 33rd regiments were consolidated at which time he was ordered to report to General Forrest’s command. Afterwards he joined Kyser’s Scouts, made a good and faithful soldier in all the departments he served. He was confined to his room for many long months and bore his sufferings with great patience. One by one the old veterans are passing away. The family has our sincere sympathy. Our friend and comrade, R. T. ABERNATHY is still in feeble health. Sorry to hear of the death of our old friend, Neal ROOKS.
