Civil War:Pvt.,Company G,32nd Regiment N.C. Another Confederate Falls On Sleep.A week ago today at half past four o'clock at the home in Camden County,another of the of the small remnant of Bertie Confederate Soldier heard taps sounded and answered the last bugle call.He leaves behind in his native county but few of those who fought with Lee and walked footsore and weary from Appomatox to the county of their birth to begin life anew in defeat but in honor and glory.James Peter Slade was born in the Connaritsa neighborhood on the 13th day of February 1842.
He died on May 20,1926.It is seen there from that he had marched in life's battle more than four score years and four.It was march of a good soldier,truthful,honest,industrious,brave, God fearing and God serving.His parents were Samuel Slade and wife,Nanie Slade,a Godly couple. Veteran Slade followed the life of a farmer;with quietness and unbroken events.He read and was intelligent.He was genial and made and held friends.As a lad he joined Connaritsa Church in 1859 with membership there until his removal to Camden where he carried his membership with him by letter.It is a beautiful thing to be able to carry away from your home a good testimonial of God serving and God fearing.It is fitting that his son John P. Slade should bring his father's body to rest in the soil of his birth.The funeral service was conducted,Connaritsa Church,old,sacred and historic,by Rev.M.P.Davis,former pastor and Rev.J.L.Powers,present pastor.A large company of old friends and relatives did him honor.The burial was in the old Slade and Howard burying ground near where Mr. Slade had spent his life. He was placed by the side of his first wife. It was beautiful to see his second wife standing at his grave. Another most touching sight was to see his nine grandsons bearing his body;they were W.G.Slade,Raymond Matthews and James Matthews,of Aulander,A.V. Hall of Roxobel,G.P.Hall,of Williamston,J.G.Hall,of Kelford,J.W.Hall,of Lewiston,Owen White,of Powellsville and H.D.White,Colerain.Many very beautiful flowers were placed on his grave by the following granddaughters,Miss Sophie Slade ,Callie Hall,Sallie Hall,Edna Hall,Iona Slade,and Sallie Matthews,of Aulander, Rozzie Slade and Vara Slade,of Rocky Mount,and Ruth White,of Rosemary.Mr. Slade's first wife was Miss Sallie Parker;being married just after the war in 1866.Their children were son,John P. Slade,Esq.,Aulander,and Mrs.John H.Hall, Aulander,Mrs.S.N.Parker,Aulander,and Mrs.Zack White, Powellsville. Another daughter,Mrs.J.O.Matthews died in 1908.The first Mrs. Slade died in 1886 and later in 1891 Mr.Slade married Miss Missoura Byrum. The four years of the war were the stormy days of his life.In 1861 he enlisted in the Confederate Army,and saw service in the great battles ending at Gettysburg.On April 9,1861,he was paroled and walked to his home at Bertie County.His service was faithful,dangerous and honorable.He was wounded at Gettysburg,the bloodiest battle in the annals of the warfare.He cherished the memories of his service and attended the reunions.I new him from my childhood and enjoyed his friendship.His sons and daughters and grand- children are my friends.I pay this simple tribute to an honest brave man,useful in his life and glorified in his death.
