Read, Joseph D., Dr.-
Dr.Read passed away May 3,1919, in Jackson, Miss., he had just reached his seventy-fifth year. He enlisted in the Confederate army in 1861 at the age of 17, and served as a member of the 45th Mississippi Regt, attached during the greater part of the war to Lowrey's Brigade of Gen. Pat Cleburne's division, Hardee's Corp. After the war he studied medicine and graduated from the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1874. He went to Texas where he practiced a number of years, and there he married, his wife dying some years later. He left only one relative, Prof. W.T. Read, who is now, I learn, Professor of Chemistry in Yale College. His brother was the naval officer, Capt. Charles W.Read (1840-1890), who wrought much damage to the Federal navy. (P.W.Shearer, Vicksburg, Miss.)
