Mr. Wade was born to Bradley
county, Tann., In 1842, and was
sixty-nine years old lest August.
When seven years or ugc his par;
ents moved to Rusk county. Texas,
where he lived until the war came
on. He enlisted in the confederate
army to May. 1881, at nineteen, year
of age, and wss first with Com-
pany G. 10th regiment of Texas caw
A&7» but later wee transferred to
the First Texas Artillery, command-
ed by Capt John J. Good, and
P. Douglas,
took an aot-
of the big
of the tranS-Miaissippi, such
M Oak vyil Elkhom Tavern Corinth
and otbeife, and dextinguished it-
self for bravery and effective ser-
vice.
Later Mr. Wade with his company
went Into the Kentucky campaign
under Gen. Kirby dmltb. and took
part to toe battles of Richmond an
Perryvllle.* Later he fought with
hla command at Murfreesboro. Chick
amaugs, and Missionary Ridge. Dur-
to the first days fiht of Chicka-
mauga Mr. Wade and several of!
bis oomradeis were cut off from their
command and captured by the feder-
ate, but later to the day he escaped
during a fieroe charge of a confed-
erate* Division and though wounded,
rejoined bis command and took
heroic part to the bloody battle
that followed on Sunday.
After Missionary Ridge he follow-
ed the fortunes of Gen. J. E. John-
ston from Ringgold Gap, through
the battles of Kingston, Rome', Ken-
nesaw. New Hope church, Peachtree
creek, and Atlanta, receiving slight
wounds at Murfressboro, Cblckamau
ga, and New Hope Church, in the
great battle of Atlanta, July 22.
1864, he wae badly"Wdunded 4 and
oaptured, and was spot north to
Camp Douglas, near Chicago, where
he was paroled to May, 1166. On
his return to bis 'old home to
Tennessee he was notified by the
Union element that on account of
his record in the CaafederatFwnny
he “must leave at ouee. He went trot,
tebre to Screven county and later
lived to Savannah a year, cemtog
from there to Quitman where the
remainder of hie life was spent
Few of those who donned th*
gray uniform to the early sixties
rendered the South more devoted
?r more heroic service than did uie
leased, and none cherished the
glorious memories of the Lost
Cause more sacredly than he. Sure-
ly the record made by these will
live in history and be proudly cher-
ished by coming generations; for
through all the years of stress and
storm, half clothed and oftentimes
hungry, they fought on to tUfc bit-
ter end, with a heroism that wss
sublime and a bravery that WAS
unparalleled. In boidler’s par lame.
