The ranks of Highland's Confederate Veterans was again thinned by the death of Jno. S. Ervine and Martin V. Stuart news of which came to town first days of the week. Both were members of well known Highland families, and were approximately 75 years of age. The history of Highland shows that both belonged to the 31st Virginia. Doubtless some of our correspondents will give on appropriate sketoh of their lives.

Capt. W. R. Lyman and wife, of New Orleans, arrived in the county on last Friday. He made this long journey for the purpose of meeting the survivors of the Highland company in which he was captain, and he has spent the week in hunting them up and talking over the times when as a VMI cadet he was sent to this county to drill raw recruits and was afterwards made captain of Company B, 31st Virginia Regiment. Dr. H.H.Jones and MARTIN V. STEUART accompanied the captain and his wife to this part of the county, (Monterey) where they were entertained by Capt. Matheny, Osborne Wilson, and others. While here they made a short drive into the extreme western portion of the county and spent a short while with an old comrade, Mr. Frank Gum, who was in time of war a true soldier and is in time of peace a valued citizen. Yesterday the party returned to to the McDowell neighborhood and will be in readiness for the reunion that will take place tomorrow. Seventeen years ago Captain Lyman visited the county and was given a hearty welcome. The 'boys' were called together on that occasion, as they will be on this, but it will be sad to witness how the ranks have been broken in those seventeen years. Of the few who survived the heroic struggle many have since fallen in the battle of life. Those remaining will not be the jolly soldier boys of thirty-one years ago, but they will show by their gray hairs and broken pace that Time has set his seal upon them, foreshadowing that they, too, will erelong be called to join the silent majority, when the pleasures of reunions here will have past. Capt. Lyman gained great prominence in his city and state, is an influential man, and has been successful in his business pursuits. It is plainly noticeable that he has a warm place in his heart for Highland soldiers, and will ever hold them in fond remembrance. In turn, his comrades are endeared to their leader, and it is with the tenderness of love they welcome him again.
Morton's History of Highland list his parents as Edward & Caroline (Douglas) Steuart. The history also list that his brothers John & Henry Steuart died in the Confederate Army in 1861. The 1860 census matches those names.
Martin Stuart married Henrietta Gentry.
Henrietta (Gentry) Stuart died May 6, 1888 on Bull Pasture River. Age 41 years, 10 months. Parents J. & Cornelia Gentry. Born Albemarle County. Consort of M.V. Steuart. Death reported by husband M.V. Steuart.
