Joseph R. Cabell, 23 years of age served in a Virginia Regiment, died after being wounded in battle near Drury’s Bluff. His body was brought to Danville a few days before publication; however, publication title and date of the obituary is unknown. It acknowledged his service started in 1861 and his notable combat experience in Gettysburg in 1863. Jos T. Cosby was a soldier of the 23^rd Regiment of Virginia and wrote comprehensively to his family from January 10, 1861 to December 31, 1862 with a letter from the company to the father in November 17, 1862 regarding his discharge the previous year. The original organization of the letters were typed not in any particular order but arranged systematically with numbers in the upper right corner. This was changed to chronological with the first letter being written by a family member to his mother concerning the ideology behind the start of the Civil War. He wrote to his father Robert Sr. and brother Robert Jr. about marches and asked for money and supplies because the army was unable to provide. Wrote his sister Mary extensively about his experiences, battles engaged, and the beautiful scenery (which helps the researcher in locating his company). His letters mentions of family friend William Pendleton, March of Buffalo Gap in June 1861, retreat of the March of Laurel August 1861, Battle of Mannass August 1861, passing by prisoner Senator Mason Pendleton in December 1861, general soldier morale, camp rules, southern ideologies, an account of Confederate plans of Jackson stolen by the enemy in 1862 and inquires about his personal farm. Wm H. Farrabee of 5^th Regiment of Stafford County writes to friend Charley who had left the company some time ago. Dated March 1, 1863, it describes his company’s daily life and war morale and mentions being at Camp Franklin. James C. Reed eulogy given by Rev. W. Albert D.D. (Doctor of Divinity) on January 8, 1935 titled “He Kept the Faith: A Tribute of Appreciation.” It gives admiration for Dr. Reed on his relentless positivity even through the Depression Era and devotion to the church. He became a successful pastor following his father’s footsteps with Rev. Albert being one of his many followers.
