The Story of'tien. Maxoy (irfjfd'N
Death at Frrtlcrii Kshur^.
\s familiar lijruro as any about the
State House William Rose, tiio
colored nn'ssoinn'r at the Governor's
ofiice, who has become, through
faithful service, a (ixturo in that position,
having served in the capacity
for all the Governors since '7b, and
indeed for a time in li>08 for Governor
1 Jon hum.
As the body-servant of General
Maxcv Gregg through all his aervico
in the war up co the time when his
gallant career was terminated l?v
death, Rose's relations with the General
were naturally of such a character
as to bring to his personal knowledge
much concerning the General's!
life in the armr and the exact circumstances
attending his death possessed
by no one else.
This lias long been known to many
of the T'ends of the dead hero
who have therefore often found it entertaining
to talk with Rose upon the
subject but his reminiscences and
statements have never so far as
known been published.
To securely preserve this unwritten
chapter of the his'orv of one of Sotit i
Carol uu's most gallant and devoted
son's, a reporter of 'J7ic Ah <jister last
night secured from the venerable
hody-servant n'8 eonruete iccoliections
of the mailer. ile has a retentive
memory nml speaks Positively
even as to exact words used in certain
cases and th?> story \v*s carefully
taken down as^it fell from liis li{>s,
lie holds ti:o memory of his departed
master in the greatest reverence, and
at times, as his narratvvo took him
mentally back to the old scones and
brought *i]) thoughts of the kindness
he had received, his voice would
choke with emotion and tears of ^outline
feeling fill his eyes.
Will Hose's first recollections of
Maxcv Gregg go back to when he
first knew of him as a student at the
South Carolina College, but his first
at intimate 'connection with him was
when, as his servant, and Colonel
Gregg then a member of Governor
Mean's staff, lie accompanied him on
his various trips with the Governor
to military inspections ami encampments
of that time.
When the war broke out Gregg,
being commissioned as Colonel of
the First South.Carolina Volunteers,
went at once to^ Charleston, where
I ! 1 i ?
ins command was soon joined by the
Richland Volunteers.
Rose was with them as a musician
and applied for and secured the position
of-body ! servant to Colonel
Gregrg. From that time until death
severed the 'connection, Hose
was his devoted follower and attendant,
and his faithfulness was prooerly
appreciated. As an illustration of
General Greco's bigh opinion of his
servant the fol'owingmay be related:
Whilst in camp at Suffolk, Va.,
General Gregg's tent was robbed.
Several officers accused Rose f>f being
tii(^ robber and so stated to
Greyer, but the General wouldn't bol.ove
it; laughed at the accusation.
It finally transpired that the robbery
hud been perpetrated 1 >y one of Captain
Shooter's men, in whose possession
several of the stolon article*
were found.
Concerning* General Gregg's character
and habits as a soldier, his humble
devoted follower pays high tribute,
describing him as an officer be.
love.J by all his men, ever mindful of
their tmrnfort and interested in their
welfare." Rose says he often expected
to hear of his General being killn
e<t long before lift nvhs, for when at
Oentrevillo and elsewhere, being1 on
the advanced line, it was his constant
custom to leave camp early in the
mornirff alone and bo absent someinos
until after daik exploring the
country in front and seeking to gain
any information that might bo of
value.
Coming to tho fatal time, around
which naturally the greatest interest
must centre, Rose describes the circumstances
attendant upon General
Gregg's wounding and death as follows:
Tho day was Saturday, and the
fighting had been going on since
morning. At about half-past ten
o'clock Rose went towards a brick
house whore ho was accustomed to
get milk.*1 Mo saw a young man
" '3E ttzxtie:

liii^li. lie hailed Hose nmi told liiin
(. enoral (Intro had heen shot, and
he feared was dead nv that time, liw
I I.ad helped t<? cHiry him from the
I field.
Hose nt once reported the mows to
Major Harry Ammond, Brigade
Quartermaster, and then sent off on
horseback to find his master. Near
tin.' brick house alreadv alluded to ho
found i )r. Howell taking o(T lej^s and
arms in the open air, and was told by
him that General Groom, badly shot,
was inside.
^iose found his suffering master in
! m room on the first floor. Kino <>n a
mattress on the floor.
"Well, William, I'm *hot,M he
said as his servant entered, and on
beinjr told the news of it had reached
camp, asked how itj/ot there. Hater,
he ordered all his beloemincrs brought
i wlmro he was, which w: - done, and
his p>!d natch beinm aiming them,
he then and there oa\e it to Hose to
keep, saying lie had inten led to make
provision for h n, ut it was then to i

Kvnns and iTujdier. They 'ill came
i:i and saw him. General Growjr also
said ho should dio at V) o'clock
that nijrht, but in this ho proved mistaken,
for ho lingered Iniijr after that.
About midnight he asked if there
was anv one in the house who knew
where General Stonewall Jackson's
headquarters were. A stout gontlomnn
in citizen's dress, who was present,
said lie did and asked why the
question. General Gregg replied
that he wanted to see him rind accordingly
the General was sent for.
General Gregg cautioned Hose
whojjwas beside his bed that if asleep
when General Jackson arrived ho
must bo awakened, and as it happened
when General Jackson did reach
the place General Gregg was sleep
ing. He was awakened by Roso
who told liiin who whs there.
General Jackson, approaching the
bed, stretched out hip hand and said:
"How do you do, General Gregg?'1
Taking the offered hand General
Gregg said: "Is that yon, General
Jackson?''
"yea,11 was the reply, "how are
you feeling?1'
j "Feeling as well as a man can feel,
I shot as I am,1' wasGrogg's response;
and then ad Iressing his superior o!Ii|
cer earnest !y, lie said, "General JackI
son, I sent for you, knowing that 1
am compelled to die, with no nnxietv
at dying and having no malice in my
: heart for any one.11
To this great Stonewall rejoined,
|''General Gregg, you did exactly as
! 1 should have done myself.'1
In reply to a question from GenT[
ill Gregg as to where was going.
General Jackson said ho was looking
for provisions for his men. Soon after
he left, informing General Greg
7 ?> O i *
that in case he grow worse his Medical
l)ircctor, l)r. Mngnire, was left
at the house and would quickly come
for him.
The two Generals never met n
life again, nor was it vcrv long before

Death found the second as tlie first.
Genoral Gregg lingered all day

tuily expirui<j at last at quarter of o
o'clock Monday mornintj, December

I stepped in-i le and saw through the
crack of the door a cozy sitting room;
and there on a bed, with her head
high on pillows, was an old iadv who
looked for all tho world just as
111\ mother did the last time I saw
her on earth. Well, I was on the'
point of knocking, when slio said,

on his knees by le*r side went an old,
white haired man, still older than his
wife, I should judge;and I could not

for them to go out homeless in their

so sick ami helpless, and oh, how
different it might have been if only
one of their hoys had been spared to ;
them. Then his voice kind of hrnkw,
and a thin white hand stole from under
the coverlet and moved slowly
over his snowy hair; then he went on
to repeat that nothing could be so
sharp again as tho parting with those
three sons?unless mother and ho
should be separated; but at las ho
comforted himself with tho fact that
