Company H

Private

Mustered May 10, 1862. Suffered from measles during his service. During one of the many marches, he was so weary, he fell asleep in the rain. His buddies had to wake him for the water was getting dangerously high on his face. He was surrendered at New Orleans on May 26, 1865. His application for a pension was denied because he was not indigent. After the war, he returned to Rusk County, TX where he farmed and operated a mill for making syrup from sugar cane. That mill was still being operated by his grandson (Rade Harper) in the 1960's.
