Notes for WILLIAM HENDERSON EATMAN:

From " A University of Alabama Cadet" by Unknown

IN the spring of 1865, General James H. Wilson gave orders to General John Croxton to go to Tuscaloosa and tear down all the factories and iron works. He also told Croxton to burn the University of Alabama. The University had been giving military training to the students. This is why Northern soldiers felt they should burn the school. When the news came to Tuscaloosa that the Northern soldiers were coming, many of the cadets in training at the University joined the Tuscaloosa Home Guard. Two of these students were William Henderson Eatman and Baxter Bragg Comer (Comer later became Governor of Alabama). Most of the boys were in their teens. As william Eatman was born May 16, 1846, this would have made him about 19- just about the age one would inagine Henry to have been (?).

Croxton's brigade numbered 1,500 men. They moved on Tuscaloosa from the north, crossing the Warrior River over the Northport Bridge, and captured the town on April 2, 1865 and burning the University on April 3, 1865. The Home Guard and Cadets resistance was short-lived as they were soon ordered to retreat when their officers saw the battle was lost.

Croxton's men burned a hat factory, destroyed the public stairs (?), etc. They interrupted a wedding and arrested the male guests, and siexed the artillery of the University of Alabama Cadets. Croxton Burned all the University of Alabama buildings except three. Ironically, one of the buildings not burned was the Roundhouse. This building was built to store ammunition for the military training during the war. After Croxton burned the University, Dr. L. C. Garland, president of the University, which had continued the training of the cadets during the war, then let them out of town. One source says they marched to Marion, Perry County. Can you imagine what took place during this march. I'm sure these young men had not prepared for the 60-odd miles they had to go. They probably had to sleep out in the open without tents. I'm sure when they got to Marion, they were hot, thirsty, dirty, and all 3-400 cadets had sore feet. (Moore's History of Alabama tells us that there were between 300 and 400 enrolled at the time)

Since the University was burned and the students could not return to school and earn their diplomas, in 1914 the University confered honorary diplomas to the students that applied for them. Years later the sons of William H. Eatman and Baxter Bragg Comer, Thomas N. Eatman and Donald Comer would get together and swap stories about what their fathers told them about the burning of the University of Alabama and the part they played during the ordeal.

In 1983, when she was attending the University, Lynn Allison Gray was officially presented the diploma of her great-great-grandfather William Henderson Eatman on the front lawn of the President's Mansion by Dr. Joab Thomas president of the University.

The following article appeared in the Tuscaloosa News:

UA students gets diploma 116 years late.

William Henderson Eatman left the University of Alabama in 1865 to join the Confederat Army- and he never received a diploma. But some 116 years later, his great-great-granddaughter has accepted the diploma for him.

The oversight was discovered when Eatman's granddaugher, Lara Kate Gray of Pell City, was gathering up some of Eatman's photographs of pre-Civil War University days to donate to the school.

Among the photographs was an envelope, postmarked April 1914, which contained a letter awarding William Henderson Eatman an honorary degree where the University held special ceremonies to recognize students who served in the Confederat Army.

Laura Kate Gray sent a copy of the letter to the University along with the photographs. The letter found its was to Joyce Lamont, curator of the library's special collections, who recognized the letter's significance.

School officials took a blank diploma from the school's vault on which was pre-printed the signature of George Denny, then-president, and Emmet O'Neal, then Govornor of Alabama. After lettering in Eatman's name, the diploma was presented to Lynne Allison Gray, Eatman's great-great-granddaughter, who currently is majoring in business at the University.
