George. i; Nelson B. George departed this J his life May 9. 1915, at the home j of his son-in-law, Mr. Thos. E. Sum- ( mer's, Ci ?rryvi!le, N. C., having reached the ripe old age of 77 years, 6 months, and 20 days. In early life , he united with the Lutheran church ] and remained a faithful member till death. At the age of 23 he enlisted in the , cause of the Confederacy, Company I, C, 3rd S. C. Regiment. Kershaw's !, Brigade. He was a brave soldier!! having fought in 27 battles, one of i which was Gettysburg where he re-!, ceived a severe wound. After the . war like others of his heroic com-! rades he returned to his home in the j < Dutch Fork, Lexington County, S. ? C. to rear his family and help in ( building up the almost ruined South. . His wife who preceded him to the i grave some years ago was Miss Isabelle Shealy. To them were born 7 children 5 of whom still survive. He was a good old man, kind and tender-hearted, and always had a word of cheer for those he met. The last few days of his life he suffered intensely but expressed himj self repeatedly as ready and willing : | to depart and be at rest. The funeral services were conduct! ed by his pastor in St. John's Luth- , j eran church, Cherryviile, N. C., of [which he was a member and the , body laid away beneath a mound of roses to await the return of the , Lord Jesus. A very large congregation gathered to pay the last tribute to the departed. Peace to his ashes, rest to his soul, B. D. Wessinger. 1 . 1 A Short Sketch of the George Generation. ; By Nelson B. George. i Prepared a few weeks previous to i his death. < My grandfather was named Lewis < George, "Ludwid" in the fatherland. ] He came across the waters from Germany to this country about the ?' time of the Revolutionary- War. He ' fought in the battles of Cowpens, i King's Mountain and Eutaw Springs. ] He was a great friend and admirer < of Gen. Francis Marion. I have been ? to the battle grounds ,at King's 1 Mountain and have seen General 1 Fergerscn's grave, the place where j' he was put away. I have seen the j two large monuments there and the ! a *-? ^ fiAn'n /^y?n tta i . small acinic at iciguouu o uiavc. i j This was a great battle and I am ( proud that my grandfather helped to strike the winning blow for our , Independence there. j After the war was over my garnd- father settled in the old Dutch Fork j ] of Lexington County. He married j, Joe Arehart's daughter and for a j j while lived at her home near Brook-'' land, so far as I can learn. By this | j marriage was born one daughter i ( named Kate. When Kate grew to j ( womanhood she married Adam Ris-!. ter. Adam and Kate had several j, children but one of them was Nancy \ < and she married my father, Andrew j 1 George, her first cousin. After my grandfather's first wife <, died, he married the second time, | Becky Stuck. Alter this marriage j he acquired a large tract of land, | now known as the Henry Cumaland-1 er land near Chapin, S. C. My old ! home place was part of this tract. j My grandfather and others of his j descendants are buried on this old , Henry Cumulander land, on the side j of the road from Chapin to Latta* j koo. Some of the old graves are j still plainly marked. My grandfather, Lewis George, ; had six children by his second wife; j Sam, Lewis, Harriett, Margaret, An-! drew and Joel. From Sam George,: who was born Dec. 4, 1804, and ; who married Susannah Kleckley on j July 16, 1835, has sprung the George j families around Lexington Court- < house: E, J. (Irby), Dedrick L., S. I i Preston, Louisa M. and Harriet H. | Louisa married Bolivar I. Hayes h and Harriett married Capt. P. H. | Caughman. Most of these are still living. As I said, my father Andrew George, married his first cou- j sin, Nancy Rister. From this union j were ten children, namely: James, j' Nelson, Gilvie. Adam, Preston, Polly, j i Jim, Jack, Joe and Mary. | When I was 23 years old war < broke out and I joined Capt. Mof- \ < fett's Company, Co. C., 3rd S. C. 11 Regiment, under Col. Williams, and ! \ we marched under Kershaw's Brig-! j ade and Longstreet's Division. We 1 fought the second battle at Manas-j sas Junction and Bull Run. We; whipped old Gen. Scott and ran him i into Washington. We fought the J Seven Days Battle at Seven Pines, j "f n i , , t i . . , r i we iougnt tne oattie at Maiverm Hill, Fredericksburg, Savage Sta-' tion and Culpepper Courthouse, j] From here we went to Gettysburg. I was wounded in this battle, the!1 most serious wound I received in 1 .1 y i t i i.i i n i ? trie war, snot tnrougn tne jch loot. ' I had to go six months on crutches.' I received treatment from Dr. Scott of Maryland, a mighty good doctor,^ who had charge^ of. Howard's Hospital. After 1 was about sufficiently Dr. Scott secured [lie a furlough and I went home. I [ was at home about one year. During j this time I married Isabelie Shealy, daughter of Andrew Shealy, Janu-1 ary 28th. I was in the very hard- j est battles of the war, fought all j around Richmond, in all 27 battles j and was hit seven times. I know what war is and I know I j what an impression war made on my j mind. If war should break outj again and it would be necessary to T 1 r\ -firrVif orrairt I nr?t < ?

She is buried at Cherryville, N. C., where I soon expect to be laid to rest. I have only two grand children married. Carl Summer and Annie Summer. Carl married N. B. Kendrick's daughter Bessie. They have two children. Annie married Louis Bowling. They have one child. Grand children 39. Greatgrand children 3. I an now 78 years old. All my brothers are dead except Joel George. He lives ar Chapin, S. C. One of my brothers, Jim George, was killed in the war, at Lookout Mountain, Tenn. Jack accidentally shot himself while preparing to go out hunting. My oldest son expects to write up a more complete history of the George family. I leave the matter in his hands. 1 have always Deen proud of my children and their success. They are all doing well. I am proud of the George race. They have good, noble, patriotic blood in their veins. They come from good stock. Nelson B. George. Editor's Note. ?The George family is of Teutonic origin and the oldest records they know of is shown by Dr. Krenzzuge's History of the Crusaders, published in Frankfort, Germany, A. D. 1538, referring to the 'George Coat of Arms" first borne by a Sir Knight Crusader John Van Seorge during the first Crusade in A. D. 1096. In a later publication of "Coats of Arms of Historic Families" there appears to be a reproduction of an original of Baron Van George, of A. D. 1699, referred to as an exquisite specimen.
