Company E

Captain

he enlisted in Company E, Second Infantry Volunteers, under Col. M. L. Stevens, of Illinois, and was elected captain of his company by a unanimous vote, serving from 1863 until August, 1865, when he was honorably discharged. He served principally in Arkansas (34th Arkansas Regiment, Confederate Infantry)and was in two hard fought battles, being in the eight days' fight before the battle of Jenkins' Ferry, besides skirmishes while on scouting duty in Newton and Boone Counties. He was an excellent soldier, but his hard service considerably undermined his health, which has never since been as good as could be desired. Capt. and Mrs. McPherson are members of the Primitive Baptist Church, of which the Captain has been a minister since 1869
