LIEUT. F. M. KELSO
Passes Over the River -- Died Tuesday Last at Knoxville --
Word was received just as we go to press, which precludes an extended notice this week of his career, of the death on Tuesday afternoon of Lieut. F. M. Kelso. He was in Knoxville at the time visiting Dr. Henry Kelso and Mrs. R. L. Cunningham, and was at the residence of the latter when the end came. Lieut. Kelso was in the 44th Tennessee, Col. McDaniel's Co., and there was not a more intrepid man in the Confederate ranks, conspienous bravery marking his career. At Petersburg, he and fifteen others captured 1,200 yankees, an incident of the war which is recorded in all histories. The people loved to honor him and had confidence in his integrity and judgement and twice thrust legislative honors upon him.
