George Martin

Can you add any additional info about this Negro Confederate--

Sam Lovelace began receiving a Confederate pension in 1933. He gave material aid to the cause by collecting farm produce for Lee's army. He lived in the town of Chatham, Virginia. He will eventually be Pittsylvania County's last Confederate pensioner. In 1957, the citizens of Chatham turned out to celebrate his 104th birthday. He lived through the Mexican, War Between the States, Spanish American, World War I and II plus the Korean War. He passed away at the age of 107.

Thanks,
Gp
