H. M. GRAVES.

From resolutions passed by the Robert E. Lee Camp, U. C. V., of Mansfield, Ark., in tribute to Comrade H. M. Graves, who died at Tampa, Fla., on March 15, the following is taken:

"He bore arms with us through the War between the States, serving as a member of Company I, 2nd Arkansas Regiment. He had active service under Jo Johnston in the campaign from Dalton to Atlanta and then under John B. Hood to the battle of Franklin, Tenn., where he was wounded and captured. He helped to organize Robert E. Lee Camp, U. C. V., of Mansfield, and was its first adjutant. Being reelected every year, he had served in that capacity for thirty-six years.

"Our comrade has completed his duties and the Supreme Commander has called him to his own staff, and he will now serve in the great army above.

"Resolved, That Robert E. Lee Camp has lost a beloved and faithful member."

[J. H. Caldwell, Commander; William Chitwood, Adjutant.]
