From the Cemetery, Reform, Pickens County.
"WE PART TO MEET AGAIN. "
Sacred to the memory of JOHN T. GARDNER, who departed this life October 31st, 1852, age 37 years, 5 months and 25 days. He was born in Fairfield County, South Carolina but moved to this State in 1832. He was married in February 1852. His life was characterized by being honest, upright and consistant in all of his transactions and his death has deprived Society of a most useful member; his parents, brothers and sisters, a dutiful son; his wife of a kind and devoted husband-but gained him a crown of Glory.
"Strangers attend I, as you pass by As you are now, once was I, As I am now, so you must be. Prepare - for you must follow me Ever stand ready to go."

Dudley Hargrove was an unlicensed Methodist Preacher and became a historic character in 1819 when he went from the Tuscaloosa Quarterly Conference to the Tennessee Conference at Nashville, October 1, 1819. He was one among others expected to be ordained as Ministers but this Conference was pronounced in its standing against slavery and these men were slave owners, so they were rejected. Five years afterward, Mr. Taylor, one of these men was taken into the Conference, but Dudley Hargrove did not live to receive this correction.

This Association was composed of churches in Lamar, Greene, Hale and Pickens Counties in Alabama. In this message he referred to the (then) War Between the States:
"First, in a National Point of View, we were at one time the happiest nation on earth, but not content with our position in life, we have become jealous of each other's rights and interests. in a Nation sense, we have sinned as a Nation, God has seen proper to lay the chastening rod, by suffering to come upon us -- one of the most bloody wars that American History has ever known. "
Rev. Lyles was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1819. He married in South Carolina and came to Alabama about 1840 and bought a farm near the present Liberty High School.

He trained one negro man to be a great preacher.
Peace to his memory.

JAMES ALSON MCKINSTRY, COMPANY "D", 42nd ALABAMA INFANTRY, C.S.A.
Discharged April 1865. "AVE ET VALE".
To the Editor of the Birmingham News :
James Alston Mckinstry, who died a few days ago in Birmingham, Alabama was, at the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, an ideal exponant of the South, which, in the fashion of miracles, transformed boys into men-inspired with heroic purpose. Among the first of the cadets of LaGrange Military Academy to volunteer in the Army of the Southern Confederacy, it fell to the lot of this regiment to re-enact at the battle of Corinth, Mississippi, a tragedy more fatally mis- directed than the "Charge of the Six Hundred at Balaklave." Clad only in shirt and trousers and barefooted, that they might more readily climb up the steep earthwork -- of the fourteen who escaped the carnage of the assault and who reached the interior of the Fort, this gallant lad-alone-survived the finishing volley of the garrison. With minnie-ball through his shoulder, another through an arm and a third through the muscle of the thigh, refused to surrender; he found shelter in the trench with his dead comrades, whence with the fall of darkness-he made his escape.
At college, Jim Mckinstry was a general favorite and noted as adept in mathamtics. He had not his equal, even in the advance classes and later in life, had he but aspired to fame, he could have found a place in one of our great universities, in this first of the sciences. With that fatal and inexplicable modesty so often characteristic of a genius, he chose the path of life.
"Far from the maddening crow's ignoble strife, he trod, ever in sympathy with his fellows and ever true to his convictions. Requiescat in pace." So may he swwetly sleep that death will seem a dream of life which itself is a dream.
Signed : John Allen Wyeth, New York City, March 4.

OBITUARY OF REV. JAMES P. MCMULLEN OF GORO, PICKENS COUNTY, ALABAMA
by Col. Thomas Lanier of Bethesda Presbyterian Church
Copied from an old church record on file in the Presbyterian Historical Foundation, Montreat, North Carolina.
"In January 1864 he entered the Confederate Army as a missionary to General Baker's Brigade and remained as such in the discharge of this duty until the 14th day of May 1864, in the Camp Bivouac on the march. In this charge on the 14th of May, this great and good man-fell-a martyr to the cause he so earnestly espoused. He fell in the midst of a heavy fire and his God-like soul returned to the God who gave it. He was already ready to administer to the wants of the sick and wounded. The wounded soldiers from the battlefied found in him a true friend and many a soldier will bless the day he was sent to the Army. He had the respect and confidence of every man in the Brigade. His preaching was of example as well as precept and never shall the writer forget the manner in which he applied the truths of the gospel during a protracted meeting, near Dalton, Georgia in the spring of 1864. Early in May, the spring campaign opened and after some heavy fire our army, gradually falling back, made a stand at Resaca, Georgia. On the 14th of May, our Division was ordered to charge the enemy on our front. Here the many and impulsive nature of the deceased could not be kept out of the charge. When remonstrated with he replied: 'Colonel, my Country is as dear to me as it is to any soldier you have. ' He was as true a patriot as he was a Christian Minister. He believed conscientiously that the South was right, and that religion, as well as Civic Liberty was involved in the contest and whether he was right -- time will tell. Death is a terrible necessity and a dreadful calamity when such men have been sacrificed in the prime of life -- in their days of usefulness. May the good fruit-seeds sown by him during his life, take root, spring up and produce fruit." He married 1838 Martha Leonora Fulton 1817-1869.
