COLONEL AUGUSTUS JACKSON LYTHGOE 19th South Carolina Infantry, C S A Editor Press and Banner: I am an ardent lover of everything connected with our brave fighl in the "Sixties," and strongly believe in keeping alive the memorj of those noble spirits who gave theii lives for the cause they believec right, and which I feel sure will b? vindicated, in time. "Deo Vindice' on our Cross of Honor, is aptlj placed.' In Vol. 5, p. 114, "Confederate Military History," the following occurs: "Here fell the gallant Colo nel A. J. Lythgoe,'of the Nineteenth South Carolina, at the head of his regiment." His Major General wel said of him, "He dies well who dies nobly." Colonel Lythgoe was killed at the battle of Murfreesboro, Tennesssee December 31, 1862, while leading his regiment in a charge. In th( years that have elapsed since th< war of the "Sixties" the majorits who knew of' and participated in th( events of that period have passec to the great beyond." It is for th< living, of the present, that thes< heroes should be called to mind "lest we forget." Augustus Jackson Lythgoe was born February 16, 1830, being th< oldest son, and second child o1 George Birenhead Lythgoe, an Eng lishman, who came to the Unitec States in early part of the nine teenth century? He was a civil en eineer bv nrofession. and in thai capacity assisted in building the olc South Carolina Railroad, from Char leston to Hamburg, S. C. (183031.) at that time the longest railroad in the world, 136 miles. I^tei (1846-50) he built the "Blue Ridge Railroad", from Anderson to Wal halla, S. C. In the "fifties" he re moved to Charleston, S. C., when he engaged in business, having i large flour mill at "Rikersville,' near Charleston. He had a summei home at Aiken, S. C., - and diec about 1858. In 1846 he married mj aunt, Annabella Parker Roberts, t< whom several children were born one, "Issoqufeena," who is Mrs. Ad dison C. Harman, is now living ir Savannah, Ga. From my grandmo ther's bible I secured the date of th< names and date of birth of the chil di-en of his first marriage. Colonel Augustus Lythgoe left : widow with three children, a son George Birkenhead, and two daugh ters, Meta, and Hattie, a beautifu girl, just budding into young wo manhood in the early "seventies" married Mr. Ellis G. Graydon, ? prominent young lawyer, she dyinf very shortly after. In the early "seventies" I was i frequent visitor to Abbeville, wher I always saw this lovely family, anc recall the brave fight the noble mO' ther made to rear and educate hei children as befitted them. She hac so.ld her home and invested the pro ceeds in Confederate bonds. Mrs Lythgoe died some years ago, anc where Meta and her brother now live, if still living, I do not know In 1898-99, I met "Birken" in At janta, \ja. Frank Stovall Roberts, (Formerly of Augusta, Ga.)
