"..This picture represents an old Confederate Soldier, who enlisted early in the war as a Fifer in Company B, 3rd Florida Regiment. He marched with the "Boys in Gray" until the close of the war; always cheerful and true to duty. After the war was over, he came home to St. Augustine, where he has always taken an active part in politics, being a staunch Democrat and today (1893) is an active member of the E. Kirby Smith Camp, U.C.V. (United Confederate Veterans). When you visit St. Augustine, call on Uncle Tony Wetters; he will be glad to see you, and can tell you many interesting incidents of the late war; aged eighty-three years. the writer of this belonged to the same Company, and knows these to be facts..."
