A.M. CHANDLER
Another brave spirit has passed in the death of Andrew Martin Chandler, of West Point, Miss., on May 7, 1920. After a long life of pain from wounds received in the War Between the States he was laid to rest in his uniform of gray. A.M. Chandler was born at Palo Alto, Chicasaw County, Miss., April 3, 1844 and enlisted in the Confederate army at the age of 17, becoming a member of D.F. Coopwood's company on the 8th of August, 1861. His command was attached to A.K. Blythe's Mississippi Regiment of Volunteer Infantry and was engaged in the battles at Belmont, Mo., Shiloh,Murfreesboro and Chickamauga, where he was wounded on Sunday, Sept. 20, 1863. He was made second sergeant for distinguished gallantry on the field of Murfreesboro and for uniform good conduct in camp and on the march.

At Shiloh he was left on the field and from there taken to Camp Chase, Ohio, from which prison he was released in Sept., 1862. He was paroled at Columbus, Miss., on June 20, 1865.

Faithful to the last to the cause for which he had fought, his comrades will miss the handclasp and kindly smile of him who held them ever in the bonds of brotherhood.
