signed to the command of Co. K, Fourteenth Regiment S. C. V. The above are all of the commissioned officers Com- . pany K ever had. After Company K. was organized it went into camp of instruction at Camp Butler, S. C., and there the company was drilled thoroughly by Cadet J. Wellsman Browne, from the Citadel. The Fourteenth Regiment S. C. V. was organized at Camp Butler and Com- pany K was one of the companies composing the regiment. From Camp Butler the regiment was sent to Charleston, S. C., remaining in Charleston only a few days, was for- warded to Beaufort or more properly Port Royal Ferry, and in a short while were placed in camp at Garden's Corner. About the Ist of January, 1862, was fought the battle of Port Royal, in which the company participated under the command of Captain Tompkins and other officers as the company was originally organized. After the battle of Port Royal the regiment was encamped at Tomotley, S. C., and remained in camp at that place, doing camp and picket duty until it was ordered to Virginia in May, 1862. After getting to Virginia, Gregg's (afterward's McGowan's) Brigade was formed, composed of the following regiments : First S. C. V., Orr's Rifle Regiment, and the Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Regiment S. C. V .; from Ricli- mond, Va., the Brigade was ordered to Fredericksburg, Va., and from this date Company K took an active and promi- nent part in all the battles, marches and counterinarches of the Army of Northern Virginia, until the surrender of the same at Appomattox in April, 1865.

From Fredericksburg the company went back to the Chickahominy just before the battle of Seven Pines. Crossed the Chickahominy and went into the battle of Gaines' Mill, at the same time the immortal Stonewall Jackson arrived with his division, and the company saw for the first time, the man who was destined to lead it in the future in so many try- ing and bloody battles. In the battle of Gaines' Mill, Company K sustained heavy losses in killed and wounded, every commissioned officer except Lieutenant J. H. Allen, was wounded. The company participated in all the fight- ing around Richmond, known as Seven Days' fighting, and sustained the prestige that it had so well won.
After the battles around Richmond, Company K's brig- ade was assigned to Stonewall Jackson's Corps and started immediately on the first Maryland campaign, participating in the battles of Second Manassas, Ox Hill, Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg or Antietam, Boteler's ford on the Potomac, and other battles near Winchester and in the Valley. Lieutenant J. H. Allen was severely wounded in the battle of Second Manassas. A little incident that occurred during the battle of Second Manassas is worth relating here. The battle lasted two days and late in the evening of the second day, McGowan's Brigade having repulsed seven successive charges, and being apprehensive that the enemy would make another assault, it was reported that the ammunition of the brigade was reduced to only one or two rounds to the man, and very naturally our men were discussing the best course to adopt. General Jackson, who happened to

be very near at the time, was informed of the situation, some one asked his opinion. With that characteristic firin- niess that ever marked the man, he said : " We will give them the bayonet," and that settled it, for the brigade knew that it's position was such an important one that it must be held at every hazard, and it did it. But it could be plainly seen by General Jackson's action and deep anxiety the great re- sponsibility he felt. Captain Tompkins, who was near the General, noticed his continued walking to and fro, and looking every few minutes to the rear, knew that his only hope lay in getting reinforcements from that direction, after awhile you could see his countenance brighten, and presently an officer on a magnificent charger all covered with foam from hard riding, dashed up and saluted General Jackson and informed him that General Ewell or Early had arrived and where he was most needed. The General 're- turned the salute and then very quietly said : "Thank God, the day is won." Captain Tompkins reported to his company and Old Company K raised a yell that went from one end of the line to the other, and veritably, in the lan- guage of General Jackson, the day was won, and the enemy realizing the fact, did not make another charge. The brigade was thereby saved from having to resort to the bayonet.
After the Maryland campaign, the company went into camp about five miles from Winchester. At this time the section of Edgefield county from which Company K had been raised had become so depleted of its men that the

people at home found themselves without a physician. Captain Tompkins and Lieutenant O. W. Allen were both physicians. At the request of the home people, made to General Jackson for the return of two physicians, it was arranged that Captain Tompkins and Lieutenant O. W. Allen should resign and return home to practice medicine. The entire company, officers and men showed the deep regret that they felt in having to part with Captain Tomp- kins-the kind and genial friend, he had ever been to them all. Lieutenant O. W. Allen being absent at Mt. Jackson with typhoid fever, the command of Company K devolved upon Lieutenant Stevens. Later in the year, probably about December, 1862, Lieutenant O. W. Allen, after a long spell of fever and health generally impaired, tendered his resignation, so the company was again called upon to sever its ties with another officer, the second in command in the company. The same expressions of regret was shown for Lieutenant Allen that had been shown for Captain Tompkins, and why not, for these two officers were more instrumental than any other person or persons in organizing the company, and had both served faithfully with the company until other duties and impaired health compelled them to leave the service. From the camp near Winchester, the forces marched to Fredericksburg and participated in the battles of that place on the 12th and 13th of December, 1862. After the battles of Fredericks- burg the brigade went into camp on the Rappahannock, ten or twelve miles below Fredericksburg, at Camp Gregg.

The camp was named in honor of its late Brigade Com- mander Maxcy Gregg, who was killed at Fredericksburg. At Camp Gregg an election was ordered to fill the vacan- cies in the commissioned officers of the company, caused by the resignations of Captain Tompkins and Lieutenant O. W. Allen. Lieutenant W. L. Stevens was promoted to the captaincy, and Lieutenant Jas. H. Allen was promoted to First Lieutenant. Sergeant Brantly B. Bryan was elected Second Lieutenant, and Sergeant Simeon Cogburn was elected Third Lieutenant. The company remained in winter quarters until the spring of 1863, when the cam- paign opened, and the company participated in all of the active campaign, including the Pennsylvania campaign, the battle of Gettysburg, etc. The company in this cam- paign being under the immediate command of Lieutenant Jas. H. Allen, Captain Stevens being absent on account of sickness. In the battle of Gettysburg, first day's fight, Lieutenant Allen in command, with Lieutenants Bryan and Cogburn present, and 36 men, making 39 men, rank and file, general orders having been issued before leaving winter quarters in Virginia, that whenever the charge bayonets was ordered no one was to fire his gun under any circumstances until the enemy's line was broken or the command to commence firing was given by the officer in command of the line. Company K went into action, as stated above, with 39 inen, rank and file. A member of the company gives this account : " At the charge bayonets, the enemy were behind a rock fence, and we could hear
£
20
their officers distinctly encouraging their men to hold their fire, until the command to fire was given. They obeyed their command implicitly, and rose to their feet and took as deliberate aim as if they were on dress parade, and to show you how accurate their aim was, 34 out of our 39 men fell at the first fire of the enemy. Four were killed dead and 30 wounded, including Lieutenants Bryan and Cogburn, and not only did our company suffer so severely, but the entire Fourteenthi and First South Carolina Regi- ments, for we sustained almost the entire fire of Reynold's Corps. Our regiment, the night after the first day's fighting at Gettysburg, stacked 82 guns out of the 472 that went into the fight in the morning, and still we carried the line, and McGowan's Brigade, commanded by the immortal Perrin, was the first C. S. A. troops to enter Gettysburg."
In the second day's figlit Company K lost one man, "Limber Jim Ouzts," killed with the sharpshooters of the brigade. He was a gallant soldier and devotedly attached to Captain Wm. Haskell, who commanded the Battalion of Sharp- shooters of the Brigade, and often said that he would die for Captain Haskell if it was necessary. Captain Haskell was killed in the morning of the 2d, and Ouzts seemed to be regardless of fear after Captain Haskell's death, and fought with desperation as if to avenge the death of his fallen chief. Often during the day his splendid shots were noted by his comrades, and late in the evening he was killed almost instantly. He died without a struggle, with a smile on his face, as if he had courted death to be again
2I
with his Captain, who he knew could not come back to him. In the third day's fight the company had been re- cruited by men coming up until it numbered nine inen. In the charge on the third day, which did not last over two minutes, it had two killed dead and four wounded out of the nine. After the battles of Gettysburg the company returned to Virginia, and of course took an active part in all the battles up to going into winter quarters at Orange Court House.
In the spring of 1864 the command left Orange Court House and met Grant at the Wilderness and participated in the first evening's fight in the Wilderness and had one man killed and seven cr eight wounded. The company was also in the next day's fight and on to the right to Spottsyl- vania C. H. From this point the company went back and into the Horse Shoe or bloody bend, as it is now called, to retake and hold the lines that had been captured that morn- ing from Johnston's Division. In this fight Company K, un- der the command of Captain Jas. H. Allen, not only sustained its well-known prestige but even surpassed itself, several of its members being noted for distinguished gallantry and bravery on. the field, especially so in the case of W. S. Allen, who was subsequently appointed for distinguished action on the field on this day by the Secretary of War as a Second Lieutenant in the Confederate States Army, but being desperately wounded, was incapacitated from active service for several months. Orderly Sergeant John S. Landrum also distinguished himself this day but was killed
22
later in the day. Color Sergeant Jack Timmerman, Goody M. Timmerman, Rufus Harling R. S. Amacker, and other gallant men of this old company, seemed to vie with each other to see who could excel on this desperate occasion, and each and all of them received the thanks of their im- mediate commander, Captain J. H. Allen and the officers commanding the brigade. A few days after this desperate battle Capt. J. H. Allen was talking with Colonel A. C. Haskell who was sitting on his horse, when Captain Allen was desperately wounded by a sharp-shooter. Captain Allen was disabled for future service in the field and suf- fered from the effects of said wound as long as he lived. He was a gallant officer and universally beloved by his entire company. By Captain Allen being wounded it left old Company K with no commissioned officer, and being engaged in an active campaign, it was no time for elections or anything else except marching, countermarching and fighting day after day. The company was commanded from now on by Lieutenant J. Morgan Dyson, and after- wards by Lieutenant Ervin A. Roach until in September 1864, Lieutenant W. S. Allen being sufficiently recovered from his wounds returned to Virginia and expected to have the Secretary of War to assign him to the trans-Mississippi department by virtue of his right to select his own depart- ment and line of service in the Confederate States Army. On his way to Richmond he returned to his old company to bid them farewell, but so earnest did they insist that he remain and take command of the old company, that he
23
concluded to do so, and reporting to the proper authorities and asked to be assigned temporarily at least to"Company K, Fourteenth Regiment S. C. V. He was ordered to do so and was breveted captain of the company the same day. The officers who had commanded the company temporarily gave the company their emphatic endorsement for their soldierly qualifications and their undeviating disposition to discharge their duties faithfully. Captain Allen remained with the company and commanded it during the entire campaign around Petersburg, Va., and in the retreat and at the surrender at Appomattox, Va., on the 9th of April, 1865.
It can be truthfully said that no company in the army did harder service and with less complaining than did Company K, and the list of fatalities shows the position she occupied and maintained in the bloody drama from 1861 to Appomattox in April, 1865. Of the commissioned officers of this gallant company all have crossed over the river save their last captain, W. S. Allen, who still sur- vives and meets regularly with the survivors of the Lost Cause with his camp, Camp Abner Perrin, at Edgefield C. H., S. C. Comrade Wmn. H. Outzs, sheriff of Edge- field county, Whitfield Glauzier, R. T. Timmerman, W. E. Timmerman, Sergeant Lemuel Harling, Henry Green and G. M. Timmerman, former members of Company K, are also members of Camp Abner Perrin at Edgefield, S. C. Let us cherish the memory of the gallant men who composed this noble company, and thereby show to pos-
24
terity that they fought for what they conceived to be right, and that they were willing even to die in defense of that right. The personnel of this company was made up of the very flower of the land. Some of the men were the highly educated sons of rich planters, or planters themselves, enjoying all the luxuries of wealth, and some of them were from the better class of farmers who were prosperous and well-to-do. They all belonged to that grand class of society, the honest yeomanry-the best defense any country can have in time of danger, as they nobly illustrated by their sublime courage and devotion to duty during all the bloody trials of the war.
In deeds of valor, suffering and heroism Company K has a record to which the South can point with pride. The noble band of surviving veterans merit the highest honor and respect of the younger generation, who ought to see that they never suffer, and in looking with admiration at the brilliant career of this gallant company let us never, 110 never, forget the patient and unostentious part which the dear women took in this sad strife. The mother, the wife, the sister, as she stood, with heavy heart and tearful eye, at the door-step and kissed her loved one, perhaps never to see him on earth again, was doomed to a sadder fate than even the soldier, who was borne up by the excitement of warfare. Alone at home, with her children about her, she performed the double duty of housekeeper and manager of the business. And, God bless them, well did they bear their part. Concealing the care, which like a canker, was
25
feeding on the damask cheek, she went about the duties of life in earnest, expecting to hear of the death of a loved one at every new message which came from battle. It was ever known how virtuous and pure the Southern woman was. It took nothing less than the war to learn her heroic power to endure trial and combat with the hardships of desperate fortune. It would also be ungrateful not to mention the faithful devotion and obedience of the negro slaves, who by their diligent toil in the fields, under the direction of the good women, produced a good supply of all the necessaries of life.
Many amusing incidents occurred, too, even amid the trials of war. On one occasion during the hungry days of want, when the poor soldier had not one good square meal a day, General Lee saw a big fellow up a persimmon tree. Looking up, he said: " What are you doing up that tree, sir, don't you know those persimmons are greeen ?"
"Yes, General," was the reply, I know it, but I am merely trying to draw my stomach down to the size of my rations."
The South Carolinians were very fond of joking the North Carolinians, just as the Governors of these two dear States have been of old. On one occasion after much hard fighting a South Carolinian accosted a North Carolinian : " Hello ! North Carolina, how is tar?" He replied : "Tar is very high and scarce." "Why so?" said the South Caro- linian. "Because," said the North Carolinian, "General
26
Lee has bought up the entire supply to put on you South Carolina fellows' heels to make you stick in a fight."
On another occasion some pompous, well-dressed aid was riding down the line in great dignity and state, and the men took to guying him and saying all manner of provoking things to him, at last he came to near the end of the line when a venerable gray-haired man, who was sitting on the fence, spoke to him in a philosophical tone of voice, as if to console him : "Look here my friend, pay no attention to these men, they hollow this way at every fool who comes along here."
The Colonel one day came upon a hungry private down in the woods just as he had killed a sheep, contrary to orders. "What do you mean, sir" said the officer, "by killing this animal ? don't you know this is private prop- erty and contrary to my order." The hollow-faced soldier, lowering his gun with humble solemnity, looked mneekly up and said : "I know it, Colonel, but I will never allow a sheep to bite me."
And amid all the danger there was always some fun and a rich supply of laughs and mirth mingled with the sad- ness of death.

Mrs. Lucinda Horne.
A record of Company K would not be complete without mention of Mrs. Lucinda Horne, wife of Cornelius Horne. She was an unassuming and modest woman from the ordinary walks of life who voluntarily undertook to stay with the company during its campaigns for the purpose of nursing the sick and wounded. She was an earnest Chris- tian woman, and her motive in submitting herself to the hardships of the war seems to have been a desire to do good.
She returned home after the war and lived many years
36
afterwards, but has now gone to receive her reward in heaven.
The veterans of the war have lately purchased a suitable monument and placed over her honored grave in the yard of Chesnut Hill Church, where her body lies at rest in the land she loved so well. But her memory still lives in the hearts of the survivors who knew her in the trying days of the war.
