DEATH OF AN OLD
CITIZEN
We were much pained
Wednesday to learn of the death of Woodford R. Hanna of this county, who died

Enlisted at the age of

7th. On the 9th we were compelled to
surrender as an act of mercy to the thousands of Loyal Comrades who stood about
him. It was a sad sight to see men who
had faced death weeping like children.
Gen. Lee had scarcely voice to say-"Men we have fought through the
war together. I have done the best I
could for you. I bid you all
farewell."
On July 15, 1893 an
organization of United Confederate Veterans was organized. The organizational meeting was reported in
the Piedmont Inquirer. The meeting was
called to order by W.J. Alexander, who explained its objective and put the
motion which made A.F. Tomlin, Chairman and E.D. McCellan, Secretary. By unanimous vote the Camp was named Stewart
to perpetuate the name and commemorate the soldierly of John Stewart, Samuel
Stewart and Newton Stewart, all of which were brothers. The camp fire Will be lighted on the
Saturday before the third Sunday in each month. Names included A.T. Hanna, Co. H, 10th Reg. Alabama. A.T. Hanna is listed as the Quartermaster of
this organization.
The following is a
letter written my Alfred Terry Hanna to his granddaughter, Jenny Sabatier of
Somerville, Tennessee.
I volunteered in the
army on February 1862 in Co. H 10 Reg Ala vol left home on the 24th of March
arrived Selma, Ala. on the 25th and there awaited a day and night for a boat to
convoy us to Montgomery where we arrived on the 27th and there awaited 24 hours
for a train to Atlanta, Ga., where we arrived on the 28. We then went to Augusta, Ga. where we
arrived the 29th the same day we got to Columbia, S.C. we then took passage for
Petersburg, Va. where we arrived on the 1st of April. Next day we got to Richmond the seat of the war. We remained there a day or two we then took
passage for West Point, Va. on the York River where we took passage for
Yorktown where we arrived on the 3rd of April and went into camp about four
miles from Yorktown we remained encamped for two days we were then ordered out
on the Warick River 2 miles from Yorktown at Wynns Mills this river was the
line between our forces and the Yankees the river runs South West direction
from Yorktown and flows into the James River near Newport News. We were stationed on this river about a
month and threw up entrenchments and on the 2nd of May we evacuated this place
and fell back towards Richmond. We got
to Williamsburg on the 7th and early next morning an engagement took place
between a division of our troops and the enemy. The engagement continued about eight hours. We repulsed them all and killed and captured
great many of them. Early next morning
we began our march to Richmond and came to Chicahominy River about 30 miles
from Richmond on the 11th. We camped
for a few days then moved up four miles from Richmond and on the 30th of May we
were ordered out to meet the enemy at Seven Pines. There we repulsed them.
Very heavy loss on their side. I
was then taken sick with camp fever and went to a private house in
Richmond. She was so kind to me. I will never forget her kindness. She was the widow Myers a very noted lady in
the city. I remained with her about two
or three weeks. She charged us nothing
for keeping us. Myself and my father
was staying there. I returned to my
regiment on the 13th of June and found the boys all in good health and fine
spirits. Our brigade was composed of
the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 14th Ala. regiments commanded by Brigadier General
C.M. Wilcox in Longstreets Division. On
the 20th of June my brother was transferred to my company and on the 27th of
June the seven day fight began and was very hard but we came out victorious
over our enemy. We repulsed them on
every field but we lost our
colonel. He was killed. My company lost two. Killed James F. Edwards, James Mauldin and 8
or 10 wounded of of which one died, Benjamin Warre. On the 30th our Maj. go wounded and on the 4th of June the fight
closed. We then moved our camp to
Darbytown about 8 miles from Richmond.
On the 3rd of August I went to see my father in the city. He had resigned and was going to start
home. His health was so bad he could
not stand the service. Our first Lieut
was then promoted to captain. On the
10th of August we started on our Maryland campaign on the 11 we got on the cars
for Gordonsville which is 19 miles north of Richmond. We camped there two days we then marched to Orange Court House VA
15 miles north of Gordonsville. We
crossed the Rapidan River on the 19th and shelled the enemy on the Rapahanock
River two or three hours. We then came
to Bradley Station on the Manassas Rail Road.
We had a fight at Manassas on the 31st of August. On the 2nd of Sept I stated to my regt. I had been left behind sick. I passed through the battlefield. It was a horrible seen to behold. The dead men lying all over the ground. I marched about 20 miles and found my Regt.
ready to march and we marched in the direction of Leesburg. Then turned toward Drainsville. We camped there for the night. This was the 4th of Sept. We then marched for Leesburg and
crossed. We then went into town. There the sick were left and the army
marched in to Maryland. Crossed the
Potomac River on the 11th of Sept. We
arrived at Winchester on the 12th.
Winchester is a beautiful but ancient city in one of the richest valleys
of Virginia. The valley of the Shenandoah. About the 20th Harper's Ferry was
surrendered to our army. The Sharpsburg
fight also. We then went to our command
on the 29th. They were camped near
White Hall. We had great revivals in
camp about this time. Many sought the
saviour of sinners.

Notes for ROBERT M. HANNA:
Robert was called
Bob. He married on his father's
fifty-second birthday, September 25 1857, in a double ceremony with his sister,
Maryann Elizabeth.
He served in Company
H, 10th Alabama Regiment under his father's command. Alabama Archive records erroneously show him ato have died of
wounds suffered at the second Manassas.
This calls into question the accuracy of other entries that show him as
wounded at the same battle on August 30, 1862.
He became a
Presbyterian minister and pastored the Oxford Presbyterian minister.
Census records show him
to be called a sadler and a tinner. He
moved from Calhoun County around 2868 to Polk County, Texas, where two of his
children were born before he returned to Calhoun County. He raised the only child of his daughter
Delphia as his own under the name of John R. Hanna rather than Payne.
After the death of his
first wife and the mother of his children he married Mrs. Sofia M. Woods. A family tradition says that people in the
congregation could tell from his sermons when things were going well with her.
He is buried beside
his first wife in the Hanna Family Cemetery in Chosea Springs, Calhoun County,
Alabama.

John W. Condray, 63,
one of the best known citizens of the county, died at his home at Hokes Bluff
at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning following a long illness. The funeral will be held at the Hokes Bluff

John Condray was of
small stature, fair complexion, and blue eyes.
He was a hard worker and allowed very little foolishness from the
children. He showed very little
emotion. The entire family had Typhoid
Fever one year but it almost killed Gene.
Nora said that one night after the doctor had told them that Gene would
not live through the night he sat on the door step and cried. Roberta remembers seeing him cry on the way
home from his wife's funeral.

Notes for OLIVER PERRY ELLIS BRANNON:
SPECIAL TO THE
BIRMINGHAM NEWS: Gadsden, Alabama
December 13, 1907
Ellis Brannon, one of
the best know citizens of Etowah County, walked off or fell of the little
steamer "Dixie" near Fowlers Ferry, just below Gadsden, at four
o'clock Thursday morning and was drowned.
The boat brought the body back to Gadsden later in the day.
Mr. Brannon lived with
the family on Palmeto Creek and was in the logging business. He had worked for the Kyle Lumber Company
for twenty years and was an expert
draftsman. Wednesday he came to town on
the Dixie which towed up a raft for him and returned with the boat when it left
here at 10 o'clock for another raft.
Mr. Brannon went to
the engine room and sat down to talk to the engineer, John T. Warlick. They passed several hours together and at 4
o'clock Mr. Warlick started to some other section of the boat. Brannon arose and said that he believed that
he would look after the raft. Mr.
Warlick told him to remain where he was that the raft was alright. When Mr. Warlick was about to enter the
engine room on his return he heard a Negro that was stationed on the upper deck
yell. The boat was moved only about 200
feet and the men manned the boats and found Mr. Brannon floating on top of the
water in the wake of the steamer. He
had never sunk and this is considered a very strange and unusual feature of the
case. It is generally believed that he
died of heart disease from which he suffered before he fell into the
water. There were no bruises on his
body. He was 49 years of age.
SPECIAL TO THE
BIRMINGHAM NEWS Dec. 14, 1907
CAN'T CLEAR MYSTERY OF
BRANNON'S DEATH
GADSDEN, ALABAMA
The coroner's jury
called to investigate the death of Ellis Brannon, supposed to have been drowned
from the steamer Dixie Thursday morning brought in the following verdict :
" We agree that the deceased came to his death from heart failure or some
other cause , and that from the evidence before us we do not believe that he
came to his death by strangulation or drowning." The belief that Mr. Brannon had met with foul play was so
prevalent on Thursday morning that Judge Penn asked Coroner Woodliff to hold
the inquest. It is not believed that
drowning was the cause of death, but the exact cause cannot be
ascertained. The witnesses told the
same tale and the only evidence against the drowning theory was the statement
of Dr. Appleton. He said that Mr.
Brannon's stomach was absolutely free of water and that marks of violence
before his death were found on his face. These were made by some sharp instrument or
finger nails. There were bruises about
the head that could have been made by a blunt instrument. The fact that Mr. Brannon's body floated on
top of the water in the wake of the boat is the queerest thing about the case
and no one has been found to explain it.
