1.)Ruben Hickman Loftis
2.)Henry Ruben Loftis - lost an eye in service
3.)Barton Ohrow Loftis - taken ill with black tongue fever

in Corinth Ms.
4.)Francis L.Loftis - fought for some time with 25th. till

he was discharged for not being old enough to fight.

birthday was in October.He returned home and re-enlisted

as Sgt.13th Cav.Co.K under Nathan Bedford Forrest where

he remained till the end of the war.
