From Petersburg to Appomattox. From the Times-dispatch, October 28, 1906. Lampkin's Battery of Artillery and how it fought on famous retreat. A glimpse of General Lee. Fight near Farmville and splendid service of the Second Rockbridge Battery.

His body was carried to Gloucester for interment. He had requested that there should be no display at his funeral, but that his coffin should be wrapped in the Confederate flag. His wishes were respected. The crowd that met the body at the steamer attested the affection his people bore him. Tenderly his comrades laid the body of the old hero to rest to await the resurrection morn.
