We think the above is a Greene County company of Confederate soldiers because it
contains the names of so many Greene County people. We publish it so that
descendants of those men may cut it out, and file it away for future reference.
It may be as hard for your great-grandchildren to trace their ancestry back to
the Civil War as it is to trace back now to the Revolutionary War.
