From a family history:

George F. Justus married his his wife, M.R. Young, on the 13th August 1854 at the home of J. M. Young. The service was officiated by Rev. James Blythe, in the presence of J. M. Morris & T. E. Waters.

"George Justus lived as a tenant on brother C.A. Shuford's land for over 30 years. He was a Lieutenant in the South's army in the Civil War. HE served as County Commissioner, Justice of the Peace, road trustee, and was a prisoner of war on Johnson's Island (Ohio) in 1864."

He was a member of the 62nd N.C. Infantry Regiment, CSA. The National Park Service records this history of the regiment:
"62nd Infantry Regiment was formed at Waynesville, North Carolina, in July, 1862. Its members were raised in the counties of Haywood, Clay, Macon, Rutherford, Henderson, and Transylvania. The unit served in North Carolina, then in July, 1863, was assigned to General Gracie's Brigade and stationed at Cumberland Gap. Here many were surrendered in September, but a number escaped from being captured. They returned to the Asheville area and in April, 1864 had 178 men present. The records show 443 men of the 62nd were prisoners at Camp Douglas. It continued the fight under Generals Breckinridge, Vaughn, and Williams in East Tennessee, then became a part of Colonel J.B. Palmer's command at Asheville in March, 1865. Later it disbanded near the French Broad River. The field officers were Colonels George W. Clayton and Robert G.A. Love, and Lieutenant Colonel Byron G. McDowell."
