I . In the death of W. H. Ogilvie. one of the most prominent and progressive citizens of Williamson County, Tenn., his community and State have sustained a distinct loss. He was one of the leading farmers of that section, cultivating a

' large acreage most successfully.

Comrade Ogilvie was born in Marshall County, Tenn., December 24, 1841, and served as a soldier of the Confed- eracy throughout the War between the States with the 20th and 4Sth Regiments of Tennessee Infantry and was twice wounded. For twenty years his surviving comrades of Company A, 45th Tennessee, gathered in annual reunion at his home at Allisona to feast on the good things provided for them and to retell the story of their days of war. These reunions were eagerly looked forward to each year, and each year saw the number of comrades sadly fewer; only three of them survive him.

After a long and painful illness, his sufferings patientlv borne, he passed away on the 28th of February, 1920, into that heavenly reunion with tliose who had gone before. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Annie Lou Ogilvie, two daughters, Mrs. Robert Wade and Mrs. John Black- liurn, and a son, Walter Ogilvie.

He went to Texas in his early days and was one of the oldest members of the Baptist Church at Hamilton, which he had served as deacon for many years. He is survived by his wife, four sons, two daughters, and twenty-three grandchil- dren. His pallbearers w-ere his four sons and two grandsons, and following them were eight other grandsons. Comrades of the gray attended the funeral services, and at the grave Capt. A. H. Watson told of the life of W. B. West as a Con- federate soldier, in which service he was also a soldier of Christ, seeking to relieve the wounded enemy by giving him water from his own canteen. A special honor to him as color bearer of Camp Sidney Johnston, U. C. V., was in placing a beautiful silken Confederate flag on the casket, and it was buried with him.

"Uncle Billy," as he was generally known, was a broad- minded man, noted for looking on the bright side of every- thing. The world is all the better, for the example of his life.

William West responded to the call of the South when the war came on in the sixties, serving w^ith Company H, 5th Alabama Regiment, Battle's Brigade, Rodes's Division, Stone- wall Jackson Corps, A. N. V. He took part in many hard- fought battles, serving his beloved Southland with all the alor and might of his young manhood. In 1870 he was married to Miss Mary A. Powell, of Columbus, Miss., with whom he lived happily until the end. Seven children were born to them, to whom he was an affectionate father. The happiest memories of the family are of him in the home. He was a member of the Baptist Church, serving for many years as deacon.
