ROLL OF HONOR

During the Civil war, many young men of Andalusia and neighborhood, served in defense of the flag. Many of them did not return. Through fifty years the compelling answer, "Here," to the stern summons from the Grim Orderly has greatly lengthened the muster roll of Andalusia and neighborhood's battalions on the parade ground of eternity. An occasional name not of the immediate communities is, by request of a relative, added. The record below is of those killed in battle, dying of wounds, of disease; perished in prison pens, and who succumbed to infirmities since the war. For brevity, the date and cause of death is omitted:
