I <v V TRIBUTE OF RESPECT r 3> TO CA PT. J. 1VISTAIt GA RY r <e> .'fi % % % :?c aj: Death, the merciless reaper, has again entered our ranks and taken I from us our beloved comrade and worthy commander of the James D.' Nance camp, Capt J. Wistar Gary, who died January 21, 1915. At the first meeting of our organization he was unanimously elected commander, wLir.h nositon he filled with honor till the day of his death. Capt. Gary had' lived beyond the span of life allotted by the Psalmist. At the last meeting of our camp it' was made the privilege of your com-! mittee to write a tribute on the worth! and service of t!:e life of our com- j mander; but it is a sorrowful duty to peruse in public the record of those we loved in life but now gone to the j vale of the dark beyond. But then? "There is no deaf':; we fall asleep j To awaken where they never weep; | We close our eyes on pain and sin; Our breath ebbs out, but life flows in." , Captain Gary chose the medical pro-j fession as 'nis life work, but after grad-! uating from the Charleston Medical j college, during the spring of 1861, t!.:e iW'ar Between the Sections began. He i did not hesitate to choose between his 1 profession and the call of his country. 1 He joined Company B, Third South j Carolina regiment, in April, 1S61, as j a private and served twelve montl-s as! such. During that year he performed all the arduous duties incident to camp life, never complaining, but always cheerful. His ability and sense of duty, his earnestness of purpose and unfaltering fidelity endeared him to all the command. He was rich in that wt:ich is most to be sought on earth, and without which a life is desolate?the respect and love of his fellow men. A man of probity, a man of action, kindness and worth. t!:e world is bet ter for his having lived in it. His j deatli is the sad reminder of the mile- \ stones which are placed along the higi.way of time with a fearful cer-j tainly and. with a Confederate soldier, with relentless frequency. At the reorganization of the regi ment :te became a captain of a company of intrepid horsemen in the Second South Carolina cavalry. His blade always flashed fearlessly in tl:e forefront of battle; a leader whose men loved to follow, let it be in the front with the brave and fearless Stuart or 1 fignting as t'f.e rear guard of the knightly Hampton. The cause for w;':ich Capt. Gary fought and whi met defeat, and history says was lost, / i "T; e world shall yet decide, in Truth's clear, far-off light. That the soldiers who ware the gray! and died With Lee were in the right." ?! At thA of the war. with tJce remnant of his command, he returned i to his ;home to pick up the tangled; threads of life; to face aliens and enemies in control of their own State,. with nothing to reward them but i grinding poverty, infirmities and scars of battle. Yet they stood shoulder to shoulder and breast to breast to redeem their country from anarchy and misrule. Ti Vin Ponf ! It, L'axi 11 UH1JLU11J UC oaiu Ui , Gary: "His life was gentle, and t':e ' lements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the; world, This was a man." His most en_ : i during monument will be the love of his comrades, tli e admiration and plaudits of women and children who, knew Lim, and the veneration of his i countrymen. "O, realm of tombs-, but let her bear This biazon to the last of time: i No nation rose so white and fair, Or fell so pure of crime." Be it, therefore, Resolved: That in the death of Capt. J. Wistar Gary his country has lost a loyal citizen, tJce camp a kind and considerate commander, his relatives and friends a lovable and devoted member cf society, Tlio f o -nn era in ah v JLICOUIVCU, lUltatl, 4. uu U w. ^ iU UUi minute books be set apart on which shall be inscribed this tribute to his memory.

Gary, who fell asleep like a tired child Jan uary 21, 1915. For many years he was the loved commander of the James D. Xance camp of Confederate veterans.
