tle of Seven Pines he was wounded, and again about a month later, at Frazier's Farm. He recovered suffi- ciently from these two injuries to accompany the com- pany in the invasion of Maryland, but at Boonsboro', Md., he was again wounded, and this time he was cap- tured. He was promoted for distinguished heroism on field of battle to a lieutenancy in the Fifty-eighth Vir- ginia Infantry. '
After the war Mr. Waldron returned to Lynchburg and entered into partnership with Thomas B. Dornin, under the firm name of Dornin & Waldron.
Mr. Waldron's death occurred on October 18, 1885.
HILARY VALENTINE HARRIS. (By Hon. W. O. Harris, of Louisville, Ky.)
The subject of this sketch, lovingly remembered by his surviving comrades as Val Harris, was the third son of Hilary and Phoebe Ann Harris, of Mill Quarter, in the county of Powhatan, where he was born March 8th, 1839.
His father was an energetic, sagacious and prosper- ous farmer, who, in early manhood, had purchased an estate of 1,300 acres lying on the waters of one of the small tributaries of the Appomattox, and called "Mill Quarter" from the circumstances of its having been in early colonial times the "quarter," as it was then called, of a larger estate, upon which was situated the owner's mill. Val's youth was spent in the way usual at that time with boys of his class. He was one of eleven children living ou a farin whose nearest town was Rich

mond, thirty-one miles off, and whose remoteness, as well as its abundance, made guests desirable, and their stay pleasant. In winter he hunted and trapped with his brothers and abundant little black companions; in summer the band was reinforced with school.fel- lows or guests from Richmond. The teaching was done by young college graduates taking employment as tutors as a temporary expedient, or, failing a home supply of this sort, by a more experienced and hard- ened pedagogue named Bias Lowry, who tanght Pike's Arithmetic and "Historia Sacra" with the help of a bundle of birch switches at an "old field school."
The home and neighborhood school- were followed by a term at Mr. William Harrison's Academy, kept at "The Wigwam" in Amelia county, names dear to many generations of Virginians, the youngest of whom are now, alas, growing gray. Mr. Harrison was an orig- inal and interesting man and, tried by modern stand- ards, a poor teacher. His pupils were taught, as far as they could be induced to do it, to memorize Bullion's grammar, and which of them now do not still remem- ber that utor, abutor, fruor, fungor, potior. viscor govern the ablative? They also learn to read the classics in good sturdy Anglo Saxon accent, inno- cent of continental rhythm, and to render it painfully into awkward English.
The teacher was a gentleman, living on his own broad acres, served by his own slaves and teaching boys whose fathers he knew, and in many cases, had taught. He had a quick temper and a soft heart. An explosion of wrathful indignation would be followed.

by laughter, and perhaps by tears, so quickly that all would be depicted at once on his fine old, expansive, clean-shaven face. His master passion was his love of country which, with him, meant Virginia. The arrival of the Richmond Whig which, as the war loomed up, was abandoned for the Enquirer, caused a suspension of studies, which sometimes lasted the bal- ance of the day, the teacher reading aloud the speeches in Congress which then made up the bulk of the news, withi frequent ejaculations of scorn or approval. Under this system his boys learned "small Latin and less Greek," but they learned from him and from each other, that no boy could do a cowardly or ungentlemanly thing and stay in that school, an education then going on in greater or less degree all over certain latitudes of our country, and in after years productive of much.
Val was a day scholar at Mr. Harrison's and rode to the Wigwam, as he had done to Bias Lowry's, some six or seven miles mostly alone by bridle paths through the woods until the public road was reached, there to be joined, with the help of pre-arranged signals, by other scholars on horseback. Leaving home at sun- rise and returning to it at dark, he spent a great part of the day on horseback and became an expert rider. He was then a blue-eyed, curly haired boy, diligent and punctual with his lessons, with a merry rippling laugh and disposition so perennially sumy that his school life passed without reproof from teacher, a collision or quarrel, even the slightest, with his school-fellows. The writer's memory lingers fondly over the names and figures of many of these, now mostly gone over to

the majority, who came with him on Friday evenings to spend Saturday and Sunday at Mill Quarter.
The busy prosperons farin, the opportunities for hunting and fishing, the abundance of boyish compan- jonship and the long rides to school through the silent woods made an ideal environment for a boy wholesome and in all ways conducive to physical and moral devel- opment.
After two years of such school life, Val passed a like period at Hampden Sydney College, and at its conclu- sion in the fall of 1857 embarked in business with an older brother, Joseph, in the tobacco business, the two emigrating to New Providence, Tenn., where they built their factory. The life at New Providence terminated tragically in the violent death of the elder brother in Feb- ruary, 1858, after which the younger wound up the busi- ness and returned to the stricken home at Mill Quarter, remaining there until the autum, when on the invita- tion of Judge David E. Spence, an uncle by marriage, he removed to Lynchburg and became a clerk in the banking house of Peters, Spence & Co. The war was then plainly projecting its gigantic shadow before it; military companies were organizing and drilling in the centers of population and Val became a member at its organization of the "Home Guard," and with all the affectionate ardor of his nature became attached to it and to its members, forming ties, which next to those of home and blood, became lienceforward the most enduring and controlling of his life. He loved "the boys" of that company; among the packet of yellow and tear stained letters which remain, nearly every one
104

mentions some of them by name, and among their records of little contests for promotion, no evidence of jealousy or rancour, no word of aught but boyislı affection and loyalty are found.
His military record as a Confederate soldier is-en- listed with his company April 23d, 1861, mentioned by General Stuart for gallantry at Dranesville December, 1861; made a corporal a few days after at Centreville; sergeant at Yorktown in April, 1862; first lieutenant and adjutant (on a recommendation signed by every officer in the regiment, the Eleventh Virginia) April 30th, 1863; captain and brigade adjutant for gallantry at Gettysburg and, after fighting in every battle in which his command took part, a list comprising nearly all the historic fields of the Army of Northern Virginia, killed in the last heroic struggle of that army at Sailor's Creek April 6th, 1865.
His was a beautiful soul, frank, affectionate, gener- ous and brave by the gift of God and confirmed in those traits by the happy environment of his youth. He lives "ever young in the hearts of those who loved him" and tears will fall for him until those hearts have ceased to beat. That some knowledge of him may survive to those who are to come after, a few more touches may be added to an imperfect picture. His miost conspicuous military service was rendered at Get- tysburg where, in the language of Captain Jolin Holmes Smith, commanding the Eleventh regiment, "in the memorable charge of Pickett's Division, the color guard of the Eleventh being annihilated, he carried the battle flag across the historic field at Gettysburg,

reaching and occupying the enemy's works, finally returning safely, and with his colors, to the Confederate lines."
A letter written to his father a few days after the battle, and dated Williamsport, Md., July 7th, 1863, has been preserved and calls up strongly the time as well as the man. In it, with modest half mention of himself, he tells of the great battle just fought and of the grievous losses in his command, among the field officers of the brigade, but one left, among the nine captains of the regiment eight killed and wounded, the entire loss in the regiment 250 out of 300. "Since the night of that bloody day, the third, the division has marched night and day, last night not halting at all, but we have 4000 prisoners in charge and the enemy is not strong enough to pursue but has recoiled too." He is tired and hugry but has time and strength to pencil off a long letter home and sends two pairs of ladies' slippers for the girls and a paper of pins; "was truly sorry that I could not get more, but my money gave entirely ont." Modest spoil of the Pennsylvania campaign paid for with money that leaves the soldier's pocket empty !
The last scene is at Sailor's creek when the Army of Northern Virginia, stricken to its knees is facing the enemy in its last struggle. The division has lost heavily at Five Forks and is much disorganized. The end is plainly near and the ragged and worn ranks while passing through and abandoning to the enemy the country in which they were recruited have, for the first time in their history, lost by desertion. The line

of retreat passes through Amelia close to the old school house, and across the river beyond the tender green tops of the distant forest lies Mill Quarter where father and sisters are listening anxiously to sounds of distant cannonading, poor mother, torn by the death of one son, and constant perils of two others, having died in 1862.
A considerate commander offers the adjutant a leave of absence to ride by home, but it is declined because the command was straggling so, but he sends word by Colonel Mayo to the anxious watchers that he is well, and to be of good heart. On the morning of the 6th of April, the division having fought its way on the march for the past week, is on the hills west of Sailor's Creek preparing to give more formal battle. The attack comes from east, south and west at once, the men receiving it lying down behind hastily improvised defenses made of fence rails and earth thrown up by bayonets and fingers. When the onset came, our boy standing erect as was his duty, watching the battle and cheering his men, received a bullet through his heart and gloriously yielded up his young life in the twenty- sixth year of his age.
The attack in which he perished was repulsed and, in the interval before the next, a shallow grave was dug and while the burial service was being read by his friend, Kinloch Nelson, the chaplain of his old regi- ment, the thin line was swept away and the interment left to be completed by the enemy.
Some weeks after the close of the war, his body was found and removed to Mill Quarter, where, in the midst

of his loved ones, under the shadows of the old oaks around which he played, he rests awaiting the resurrec- tion.
Those who knew and loved him are rapidly passing away.
His most enduring inonument will be this little book published in the brief home of his manhood, among those who were witnesses of his life, and near to the scene of his death. Upon it we may inscribe an epi- taph written for a greater, but not a braver soldier, and which, with a change of date, is singularly appropriate to this use of it :
