I recently discovered the following obituary:

"W. A T. OLIVER, AGED CONFEDERATE VETERAN, PASSES IN ALABAMA

Below we publish an account of the death of Mr. W. A. T. Oliver, formerly of Lowndesville, and an uncle of Miss Mae Robertson, of Greenville; Mrs. C. A. Baskin, of Taylors [S.C.]; A. M. Robertson, of Little Rock, Ark.; D. Townes Robertson, of Birmingham, Ala.; also Messrs. W. L. and T. J. Bowman and Mrs. Ida Cooley, of Lowndesville [S.C.].

Mr. Oliver was one of the oldest surviving members of the Confederate veterans, having gone to the war in the First Texas Regiment, Hood's Brigade. He was a great foirem amd admirer of the late General [rank in United Confederate Veterans] R. R.
