march. In the meanwhile the Federals, so soon as the Con- federate forces began their march, threw a pontoon bridge across the river, (the wooden bridge having been burned by the Confederates early in the day) and crossing to the Cum- berland side of the river, made an attack. They were re- pulsed and made no further advance till near sunset.
The night of that day our citizens were again kept from sleeping and in an anxious and alarmed state, by the con- tinuous passing of the Federal forces through the streets. None but those who were present can imagine the horrors of that miserable night to our people. Closed doors were but little protection from the swarm of the Federal host that crowded our yards and streets, and none at all from the horde of lawless thieves and boomers who followed in the wake of the victorious army. We were indeed in a pitiable condi- tion. Martial law, however, was established the following day, and guards of protection were given those who applied for them, and though we were prisoners in our own homes, still we felt less alarm, and made ourselves more comfortable. We knew nothing of the events transpiring at the front. Hopeful we were, but ignorant as to whether our people had succeeded in reaching and uniting with others of our Con- federates at Lynchburg, or had encountered irreparable dis- aster. Sunday morning however, the various Church bells and others in the town, began ringing, and we were told it was to announce to all the surrender of General Lee at Appomat- tox Courthouse.
Thus ended with us the entire movements of the war, but for days and weeks and months we had to submit to mili- tary government in our town and vicinity. A provost mar- shal with a military company to assist him, held us in sub- mission for eighteen months or two years, and we had no liberty or freedom of action until the last blue coat of our conquerors had disappeared from among us.

History of Prince Edward County
This much of the local history of our town during the last days of the Confederacy I have thought would be of interest to you. None but those who witnessed them can ever realize how terrible was our everyday life. Our domestic living and home rule, underwent a sudden and de- plorable change. With no financial resources, and our pro- visions all exhausted, many of our citizens were compelled to accept the GENEROUS BOUNTY of dry codfish and hard- tack from our aggressors.

History of Prince Edward County
PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY IN THE RE-CONSTRUCTION PERIOD
The War was ended! It had ended disastrously for the South! Virginia, battle-ground of the hostile forces, was devastated ! Her soldiers came back to their homes, if in- deed they had any homes to come back to, and, settling down to peaceful pursuits with the same determination with which they had addressed themselves to the war, began the sterner struggle with poverty.
There was not enough seed left in Prince Edward with which to plant the first crop; neither was there money with which to buy seed had it been obtainable. Their hands were tied in many trying ways, yet they bent to the new tasks with a cheerfulness that was inspiring.
Freedmen's Bureaus were set up by the conquering North and officials with shoulder straps and brass buttons abounded. They were sent into every County with authority to look after the late slaves; "wards of the nation," as they were then called.
The negroes were organized into "Union Leagues." They were not eager for work. The difficulty of obtaining labor was added to the other troubles of the people. De- praved men, some of them alas, citizens, many of them a low type of Northern new-comers, entirely ignorant of the negro and his ways, and of the problems of the South; "Scalawags," and "Carpet-baggers" they were called, respectively, went among the negroes and did what they could to incite them to tumult and riot.
To the everlasting credit of these negroes, be it said, that, though accepting their freedom as a great boon, and relying with childlike faith upon the promises of these
192

northerners, most of them continued to be orderly, respectful and industrious. Thus was the previous kind treatment they had received from their Virginia masters vindicated. Yet, even in spite of their admittedly difficult position, it cannot be said that Prince Edward County, had even then, any greater "labor problem" than has been experienced by her in recent years.
We must not neglect to note in this connection, the fact that the city of Baltimore came to the aid of Virginia in this time of tremendous need like a veritable Ceres sowing seeds of hope, and offered to furnish seed on security of the crop to be planted, and marketed. This offer was most grate- fully accepted, and everybody took fresh courage. There was pulsing life once more in the land; peace brooded over all. Alas it was not to go on uninterrupted ! The horrors of the reconstruction were coming on apace. Prince Edward shared in the hope that came with the generosity of the city of Baltimore; she was to share in the turmoil of the recon- struction days. The eager cormorants from the north were getting hungry and were already demanding their sop.
In 1870 the new Constitution of Virginia, framed in 1867- 68, by what is known in history as the "Black and Tan," or "Underwood" Convention, became effective. Virginia was "readmitted into the Union;" that Union she had been fore- most in forming and in establishing, and that Union she had been loathe to leave. Under these new conditions, each county was laid off into townships, and the County Courts, almost coeval with the Colony, were abolished, and the office of County Judge was created.
Boards of Supervisors were created at the same time. Grave apprehension was felt lest the negroes, then constitut- ing the majority of the registered voters, might work great havoc in the fiscal matters of the county by electing a ma- jority of the newly created boards. The whites, however, so
193
History of Prince Edward County
arranged their forces that these fears were never seriously realized, and the minimum of disorders occurred.
From about 1870 matters have gone on in regular and orderly routine, with nothing of particular moment calling for the attention of the chronicler of the Reconstruction Days.
Further light is shed on these strange days in the chap- ter on the judiciary, to which the attention of the reader is specifically directed.

PRINCE EDWARD IN THE WORLD WAR
INTRODUCTION
In this chapter we shall endeavor to give, with some rea- sonable accuracy, the story of the part played by Prince Edward county in the great war of 1914-18. Of necessity the recital must be somewhat curtailed, for space is not avail- able in which to tell of the multitudinous war activities of the people of this part of the State. Then, too, the lists appended are subject to further revision for errors. It is too much to expect that, in the mad whirl of war's turmoil, all names shall be properly recorded or transcribed. Many of the men went by "nicknames" and these occasionally got into the records. Difficulty was encountered also, in keeping the names of white and colored soldiers separate. Reasonable accuracy has, however, been attained, due in no small measure to the splendid work of Mrs. Roberta Large of Farmville, who, at much expenditure of time and labor, has done so much to keep our county records straight.
Much additional and valuable information upon this topic will be found included in chapter eleven of this work, in the war activities of the Churches of the County.

THE RED CROSS
The following brief statement respecting the work of the Prince Edward County Chapter of the American Red Cross, is taken from a careful report of the work of that or- ganization during the great war, prepared by Senator R. K. Brock of Farmville, and filed at the Court House:
The local chapter was organized at Farmville, August 31, 1917, largely through the efforts of Dr. T. G. Hardy, sup- plemented by a visit to Farmville of Col. Henry W. Ander- soI:, later head of the Red Cross Mission to Roumania.
At the organization meeting the following officers were elected :
Chairman : Robert K. Brock.
Vice-Chairman : Mrs. J. L. Jarman.
Treasurer : J. L. Bugg.
Secretary : Rev. C. P. Holbrook.
Executive Committee: the Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer, ex-officio; W. S. Weaver, Rice, Va .; E. S. Taylor, Prospect, Va .; Mrs. T. P. Singleton, Darlington Heights, Va; E. S. Martin, J. L. Jarman, Mrs. R. B. Tuggle, Mrs. A. T. Gray, Mrs. J. L. Jarman, and Mrs. W. P. Richardson, all of Farmville, Va.
A Membership Committee, composed of Dr. J. L. Jar- man, Mrs. A. T. Gray. Mrs. R. B. Tuggle, Mrs. Thos. G. Hardy and Miss Sue Gray Flippen, was appointed by the Chairman, and the membership was rapidly increased.
The officers and the Executive Committee, as well as the Committee on Membership, are people of standing in the community. The Chairman is a lawyer by profession and a former member of the Virginia . Senate; the Vice- Chairman, wife of President Jarman of the State Normal College for Women at Farmville, occupies a place of great

prominence in the social and civic life of the community; the Treasurer is Cashier of the People's National Bank, one of the leading banking institutions of this section, fand Chairman of the third, fourth, and fifth Liberty Loan Cam- paigns, bringing his county well over the top each time; and the Secretary is Rector of Johns Memorial Episcopal Church, Farmville, who has had wide experience in many forms of social welfare work, and brought with him an enthusiasm for the great work he was espousing.
The Women's Work Committee, headed by Mrs. J. L. Jarman, amongst much other invaluable war work made the following articles :
Surgical Dressings

Hospital Garments

Branch Chapters were organized in the following places : Rice Branch, W. S. Weaver, Chairman; Meherrin Branch, M. E. Gee, Chairman; Darlington Heights Branch, Mrs. T. P. Singleton, Chairman; Prospect Branch, T. J. McIlwaine,

Chairman, succeeded by W. C. Chick; Sandy River Branch, W. B. Bruce, Chairman; Abilene Branch, Miss Annie Me- Gehee, Chairman; Felden Branch, Miss Marie Allen, Chair- man: Hampden-Sidney, Miss Susie Venable, Chairman; Five Forks Branch, Mrs. Norvell Crute, Chairman. There is also a Colored Branch in Farmville, and colored members elsewhere in the county, who did fine work.
The Chapter was not organized when the first drive for funds was inaugurated, but in the second drive in the spring of 1918, with Dr. Jarman as Chairman of the War Fund, the quota of $2,800 was more than doubled, the sum of $6,250 being raised. This was accomplished with the splendid or- ganization perfected by Dr. Jarman.
The Home Service Section was organized in the early summer of 1918, with Dr. J. M. Lear as Chairman, and Miss Mary Dupuy as Secretary. Miss Dupuy was succeeded by Mrs. Roberta Large, who has performed wonders in securing and perfecting the records of the individual personnel of the men who went into service from Prince Edward County.
The Junior Red Cross, under the leadership of Miss Ilma Von Schilling did wonders and forwarded the follow- ing articles to the Red Cross Headquarters :
Property Bags 200
Layettes 1 Box
Garments 145
Scrap Books 180
Gun Wipes 500
The local Chapter is still (1921) maintaining an exist- ence, as a permanent organization.
