TWO OLD SOLDIERS
The burial of T. K. Bunch and G.W. Anglin on the same day reminds us that this type of man in our midst is moving off the stage of action rapidly and leaving as a heritage to posterity the memory, that, in the civil war, they were, remembered with the young men who attested their devotion to home and country by offering their lives in its defense. They both had crosses of honor, worthily worn because they made good in the camp, on the march and acquittedthemselves like good soldiers on the battlefield, where the supreme test is made.
Mr. Bunch belonged to the Third Tennessee Regiment and went out from Pulaski in that state. He was 68 years, a genial sunny hearted man, enjoyed a good joke and was always ready for an argument on the passing events of the day, in which he took a lively interest and was ever ready to defend his side of any question against all comers.
Mr. Anglin was 70 years old and belonged to the 14th Mississippi Regiment and was one of the most industrious men I ever knew, he was never idle, work was his watchword and he always went at it with an earnestness that accomplished results. He was held in high esteem by the Masonic fraternity for his fidelity to the tenets of the order and his faithfulness as watchman at the outer gate for a number of years. Honest, earnest and faithful, he had many friends, who appreciated his worth as a soldier, a citizen and a mason.
They have gone to answer the roll call beyond the river and to meet their old comrades on the other shore, where the booming of cannon, the shriek of shell and the rattle of musketry shall be heard no more, but peace, everlasting peace, shall abide forever. Peace to their ashes,
J. M. HALEY.
