G. M. YODER
G. M. Yoder was born on the 23rd day of August, 1862. His mother died when he was six years old. He received a pretty fair education in the old fashio ·- ed school of his day and time. He was a farmer by occupation. He volunteered Oct., 1862, into Con- federate service. He then was the Clerk of and Master of Equity for Catawba County, and stepped into the ranks as a private in Co. F. 38th Regiment. He went to Raleigh to Camp Mangum. The Company had volunteered for six months, but before the six months had expired, Congress passed an act to re-organize the army with a conscript act attached to it. After a few months in Camp, he was elected Second Lieutenant.
They left Camp Mangum their winter quarters, and were ordered to Weldon to guard th railroad bridge; then to Goldsboro where the army was reorganiz Being Second Lieutenant, he did not run again for the office. He came home April, 1863. He was soon elected Captain of the Home Guard of the Militia of North Carolina, which position he held until the war closed. He was in Camp with the Company to guard the frontiers at Table Rock.

OF THE CIVIL WAR
Was also at Salisbury with the command to guard the arsenal when Gen. Stoneman came in and took it with his forces.
After the war, he was again chosen Magistrate to organize the County, and wasalso again chosen as one of the County Court. In 1866, " he was dis-franchised from voting or holding office by law, until that law was repealed by Congress. In 1876, when the Democratic Party got control of the State, he was again made Magistrate, which position he held until 1894. In 1880, he took the census of Jacob's Fork Township; and in 1882, he again was elected a County Commissioner. In 1890, he again assisted in taking the census, -the same year being elected Coroner.
Since 1890, the Colonel has retired from public life, with the excep- tion of writing sketches of family histories of the old settlers in the County. His life has been a temperate one, indeed, as he neither chews, smokes, drinks, -drinking neither coffee, whiskey, milk, nor eats butter. He is now in his 85th year, and is a sprightly old gentleman, loving an innocent joke as well as the younger people. He has spent his life on the farm which he owns on the South Fork River.

COMPANY K, 46 NORTH CAROLINA REGI- MENT
Known as the Catawba Braves, left Newton, Catawba County, March 13th 1862, and went in Camp Mangum near Raleigh, N. C. The Company was organized and commis- sioned on March, 15th 1862, with the following officers :-
Adolphus T. Bost, Captain was mortally wounded at Reams Station near Petersburg and died from said wound; Alexander Rowe, 1st Lieutenant was mortally wounded at Reams Station and died from said wound; James H. Hoover, 2nd Lieutenant, was mortally wounded at Reams Station, and died from said wound.
Marcus M. Smyer, 3rd Lieutenant, was mortally wound- ed at Reams Station and died from said wound. A coinsident, all mortally wounded in same battle.
The total number of the Company at this time was 102. The 46 Regiment then went to Goldsboro, and from there to Seven Pines near Richmond; but the fight was over at this time; thence to Sharpsburg, Md., at which place we only lost a few men; thence we returned to the Valley of Virginia and on the 13th of December, 1862, we were engaged in the Battle of Fredericksburg, where we charged down the Mariy's Heights to a Rock fence, which we used for a breast work. This was near the town. The Yankies formed eight columns deep in front of the rock fence and we held our position. We lost only a few men here, but the Yankies were slain by the hundreds in front of the rock fence. The enemies vacated the town that night, and we drove them across the Potomac River, then we returned to Camp, near Petersburg, Va., and was ordered to the South. We went in camp at Wilmington, N. C. for a short time; then went to South Carolina, below Charleston Mill to a place on the coast called Patacaligo, where we were under General Bean- regard where we threw up breast works, and after a short time we were ordered back to Virginia near Richmond; then we went on a march to-wards Manasses, and got in contact
268
THE CATAWBA SOLDIER
with the enemy at Bristow Station. We had a fight: we charged on them in a deep rail road cut, but had to retreat. There we lost seven men and a number wounded. The enemy disappeared that night; then we returned towards Richmond and tore up the railroad track and went in camp near Rich- mond; then on the first of May, 1864, we left our camp near Orangebury C. H. and went to the Wilderness Battle Ground May, 4th 1864.
We formed a line in the thick woods, and about 5 P. M. our Pickets came in and the enemies advanced near enough to fight, and without any breast works we fought for about two hours and we lost heavily. We were out of amunition, our ranks got this, and we fell back a few hundred yards until reinforcements came in, and we then held our ground. The woods changed their appearance; they were trimmed with shells and bullets. Then we returned, and after several other engagements with the enemy, we went in camp near Petersburg, Virginia, in the breast works near the blow up of works; thence we moved on the South side of Petersburg, and were engaged in a Battle at Reams Station, where we captured their works and several hundred Yankies, but had to fall back and withdraw from the works. We lost heavily, Captain A. T. Bost was mortally wounded, and died in Rich- mond, from said wound. Also Marcus Smyre, 3rd Lieutenant was mortally wounded, and died at Petersburg, from said wound; also Alexander Rowe, 1st Lieutenant; and James Hoover, 2nd Lieutenant was mortally wounded, and both died from their wounds.
Sergt. R. A. Bost then took charge of the Company and became Captain, and after returning to the breast works near Petersburg, remained there until about April, 1st 1865. We vacated Petersburg, and went on the march up the James River with Lee's Army untill the Yankies surounded us at Appomattox Court House, on April, 5th 1865, where the two great armies met for the first time in peace, and the last time in War; and in a few days we got our Parole and return- ed to our homes, a foot.
The war was over, and peace declared.

CAPT. ADOLPHUS T. BOST
Few men were more faithful to their duties as a confederate soldier than Captain Adolphus T. Bost; who command- ed Co. K. 46th, N. C. Troops, from Catawba County. The 46th regi- ment was organized at Camp Mangum near Raleigh, in March 1862. Capt. Bost was a son of Jonas Bost of Newton, and was universally liked for his ; genial spirit, and good qualities in general. He was with his Company in marching and fighting, and was twice wounded. On August 25th 1864, at Reams Station, he fell, and was succeeded by his brother Capt. R. A. Bost. The writer of the sketch of the 46th Regiment, Lieutenant J. M. Waddell, (see Vol 3 N. C. Regimental history.) says; "Capt. A. T. Bost, fell at Reams Station, and was succeeded by his brother R. A. Bost, who as Captain received a severe face wound and was disabled thereby. No steadier men ever faced a firing line than these two". A very high compliment from Lieutenant Waddell of S. C. The three brothers Joseph M., Adolphus T. and Robert A. Bost were all captains and aquitted themselves with honor. A. T. Bost had married and settled on a nice farm a few miles from Newton; he gave up all, family, home, and his life for his country. What a great sacrifice?
Bost, Robert A., Captain, enlisted in 1864, and was promoted from Sergeant. He died since the war.

Church (the church of younger days) and Holy Trinity Church in Hickory, in which he held his membership at the time of his death. Part of his money was to go towards building a brick church at Zion, provided the congrega- tion would duplicate the amount. They did so, and today there stands to his credit a handsome brick structure at Zion. £ He died in the faith of the hope of the Resurrection of the just. A noble example to emulate.
