Events of a sorrowful character occurred during that awful raid. Houses were burned and hearts were broken. It was a shock of heart felt sorrow when we heard that Billie Hannah was killed.

General Forrest, being near this section, a company of his men, Capt. James Null, Billie Hannah, Billie and Willis Waddell, Lieutenant Frank Hawkins and other neighbor boys gladly grasped the good opportunity to spend Christmas at home.
They had a little hiding place in the swamp near Capt. Null's home where no strange armed enemy could find or penetrate. It would be poorly worth my while to try to tell of the bravery and fighting qualities of Forrest's boys.
It is written in History and song. By the time the Yankees struck camp, they begun to go out over the country to rob and destroy. Squads went to the home of Mr. Johnson Everett and commenced their work word of which was conveyed to our boys in the swamps. Whoever on the watch for ranger or laurels came out and undertook the arrest of the prowlers. When one of them showed fight, young Waddell shot and killed him. The ball passing through him and wounding Billie Hannah. His comrades carried him off back to the swamp and came for his sisters, brave Rebel girls, who in company with the young sisters of Capt. Null left their home at night to grope their way in secret to the cold dark hiding place of a dying brother and sat by him till the pressure of his cold hand relaxed and his eyes closed on the scene of war forever.

They saw his body hastily and secretly buried in a temporary grave and returned to see their home burned by the enemy.
A cloud of gloom fell over his comrades who a few days before were light-hearted and happy in being where they could come to firesides of homes and friends to enjoy the home-made luxuries and then at sight or sound of the enemy would spring to their horses and dash back to the little knoll or island in the swamp. Only a day or two before the Yankee raid, Billie Hannah called at our house to visit sister Mary and Miss Connie Bowden.
I shall never forget when he started to leave how brave and handsome he looked. Laughing and talking back at the girls, he sprang to his fiery war horse and dashed off as he waved us a goodbye with a merry jest. Instantly we all recalled the picture and spoke of it when the sad news came that brave, Kind-hearted, handsome, Billie Hannah was dead.

His school days were passed mainly at Hollins Institute, where he made rapid progress in his studies. He was finishing a military course at Lexington, Virginia under the immortal Stonewall Jackson when the war began. He enlisted at once, and was sent to the Western Army. In the Battle of Shiloh he was ever in front until dangerously wounded. After his recovery, he was back with his command, as fearless and gallant as ever. He was much of the time on Gen. Wheeler's Staff, and in the perilous enterprises in which he was engaged acquitted himself most gallantly. After the war he took up the standard of Christ, and bore it unstained throughout the remainder of his life. He was happily married to Miss Jennie Pitzer of Covington, Virginia, in October 1869, who survives him with four daughters.
