JOHN FRANCIS LAUDERDALE.

John Francis Lauderdale was born November 7, 1842, at Goodwater, Coosa County, Ala , and moved to Union County, Ark., in 1860. At the breaking out of the War between the States he volunteered in Company D, 3rd Regiment Infantry, Captain Jones's Company, and was with the Army of Virginia till the Atlanta campaign, then was with Johnston and Hood till the surrender. He was wounded twice. After the war he returned to his home in Alabama and married Miss Mary Wright. Six children were born of this union, four sons and two daughters,the oldest dying in infancy. In1867 he moved to Scott County, Miss., and from there to Warren County, where he died. His wife preceded him in death some seven years. He missed only two reunions from the time the U.C. V. were organized; he was at Chattanooga, Tenn., and there had a stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered. In September, 1922, he had another stroke, and the last twenty days of his illness he was back in the army marching and fighting. Just a day before the end he said his furlough was out and he had just time to get to his command to answer to roll call. His wish was to be laid away in his uniform, with the flag he loved around his form, and his wish was carried out. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church of the South.
