Lewis, a gallant young soldier from Leesburg, was killed on Friday evening, August 12th, 1864 as
Company D of the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry, Army of Northern Virginia, Confederate States of America.
Also known as Mosby's Rangers under Colonel John Singleton Mosby.
Information from James River Publications.
Mosby's men fought a Yankee Cavalry party who sought refuge in a brick church in the suburbs of Berryville. After Mosby brought up their howitzer, the Federals were forced to retire behind a brick wall and Lewis was shot down as he charged them.The Memoirs of Colonel John S. Mosby:

Mosby, John Singleton, 1833-1916
Number 2 represents the Berryville fight and the stampede of the train guard. I am with Sam Chapman's company that was kept in reserve with the howitzer that is firing while Richards's squadron charge at one point on the line and William Chapman and Glasscock with their companies charge at another. Stockton Terry, of Lynchburg, is near me with the battalion colors. A body of the enemy formed behind a stone fence and made some resistance. Here Lewis Adie, of Glasscock's company, was killed. I remember very well when Guy Broadwater rode up and reported it to me in the midst of the fight. All I said was, "I can't help it." He was a fine boy.
