THE COUNTY'S DEATH ROLL

If it can truthfully be said that, "It is good for one to die for his country, Jasper County certainly acted well her part from 1861 to 1866. Out of the almost fourteen hundred men who went forth to the field, about one hundred and seventy fell on the battlefield, or died from other army causes, and never reached home alive. The following may, and possibly may not, be a complete list of the honored dead. This list is one compiled from the adjutant general's reports published from 1863 to 1866, inclusive, and there may be errors and omissions.

THE JASPER GRAYS This military company was organized in January, 1876, with the following officers: Than Townsend, captain; J. L. Mathers, first lieutenant; A. J. Richards, second lieutenant; Al Wykoff, J. R. K. Lamb, Newton Smith, Henry M. Rose, sergeants; Zach Stokes, William S. Ferguson, Herbert Rose, George Failor, corporals.
