If any

unrecorded, and in this matter I have done my best. names appear more than once, better so than not at all.

I find that Newberry County had in regular service during the war about fourteen hundred and fifty (1450) men, and that very nearly one-third of them died in service-killed, mortally wounded and of disease.

Add to the above the ninety-five in the following roll, and you will have fifteen hundred and forty (1540) names, and I do not think this is quite all.

ROLL OF COMPANY "A."

It is my good fortune to find at last a roll of Co. A, being that of a company of boys or young men about eighteen, who went into service as volunteers in the early part of the year, about April, 1864, and continued until the close of the war, April, 1865. Eighteen of these, whose names I have marked with the letter t, were transferred to Col. E. S. Keitt's mounted men and served under him. I had given up all hope of being able to find these names, but happily I have before me the original roll. No casualties given.

Seven died of yellow fever on South Carolina coast, two of whom were J. H. Fellers and Adolphus Maffett.

BATTALION OF STATE CADETS.

The following were members of the Battalion of State Cadets commanded by Major White:

Jas. S. Spearman, Jno. R. Spearman, George Johnstone, Thomas T. Moore, Frank G. Spearman, Thomas A. Johnson, John F. Spearman, Wm. R. Spearman.

Of these Wm. R. Spearman died not long after the war; Thomas A. Johnson died in the Confederate service on the 23d of March, 1865, a little over 19 years of age, having been born on the 5th of February, 1846. The others, I think, are still living.

COMPANY "K," FIFTH REGIMENT, S. C. CAVALRY.

The following from Newberry were members of Co. K, 5th Regiment, S. C. Cavalry:

M. M. Buford; F. S. Boozer, killed at Tresillian; D. B. Boozer, dead; Wm. Boozer, dead; Robert Goree, gone West; J. C. Hargrove; Dr. Wm. Suber. dead.

M. M. Buford, as escort for Col. Rawlins Lowndes, of Charleston, S. C., was with the officer who carried the last dispatches from the Confederate authorities when General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered.

Doubtless there are errors in the foregoing lists of names of men who saw service in the Confederate Army during the War of Secession. Doubtless there are errors in the statement of

casualties, and in other respects. There are probably some names not given which should have been inserted. There are some on the monument not found on the rolls in the Adjutant-General's office, and some not on the monument which should be there. The compiler of this record has faithfully copied from the rolls which were furnished him. He would have entered upon a career of endless inquiry had he undertaken to interview each living soldier and officer of the Confederacy from Newberry. In many cases he did inquire and receive information from private sources which it was impossible to obtain from the public records.

The reader who has any spark of charity in his composition ought to be, and must be, pleased to find that the errors in the lists are so few. Nothing can please one who has no charity for others.

The compiler must here be permitted to thank Mr. Elbert H. Aull, who, as the book is passing through the press, has put himself to a great deal of trouble and inconvenience to eliminate from the rolls and the statement of casualties all errors possible to be eliminated.

ADDENDUM BY E. H. AULL.

In addition to the rolls and records already given, more information has been obtained as to the part Newberry had in the War of Secession. As has been stated by the compiler, every precaution has been taken to be accurate in this part of these Annals. As those who can give information from personal experience and knowledge are fast passing away, and the rolls are sometimes unsatisfactory, it has been difficult to obtain accurate data. If this history is not preserved now, it will soon be so that the facts cannot be obtained. It is the purpose of this book to be accurate and full, though it is realized that that purpose will not be attained completely in either particular. With that in view, however, I have decided, with the permission and assent of the compiler, to make the following addition to this part of the book.

A careful examination of the rolls printed will show that the compiler is not entirely correct in his statement of discrepancies between the names on the rolls and those on the Confed
