Sir,

I regret to inform you that I do not have the information on who shot Lt Simeon S. Kirby.

I am compilling information on Citadel graduates and can offer the following information: Simeon S. Kirby was appointed from the Darlington, SC District. He was the 174th graduate of The Citadel and finished sixth of seven in the class of 1860. The class of 1860 lost 5 of 7 members to the Civil War. Citadel records confirm the information you provided. Source: History of The South Carolina Military Academy 1783-1892, Col John P. Thomas, class of 1851, published in 1893.

If you have his birth date/location and any other information it would be greatly appreciated.
