Interestingly, while researching old newspaper just now, found an obit on one member of the PCA who enlisted "aginst the advice of his father" Columbus, Kentucky, September 9th, 1861 in Co. A. at age 15 (although the article says he was 14) and was in the most heated engagements of the war surrendered at Columbus, Ga. and paroled at Meridian, Miss. in 1865. He was born Dec. 14, 1845.
