He was surrendered by General Robert E. Lee, Confederate States Army and paroled 9 April 1865 Appomattox Court House, Virginia. -Signed: William E.

"Below I copy from Volume XV, pages 244-46 of the Southern Historical Society Papers a list of the paroles issued to members of the Twelfth Alabam. It is a pitifully small listand painfully shows how dreadfully this noble band of heroic soldiers had diminished from eleven hundred and ninty six which formed the regiment on the 12th of June 1861. These names deserve to be emblazoned forever on the rolls of fame, and to go down in history with the brave Spartans who fought at Thermopylae. Of those that survive now from this list I can only locate a few.
Among them are:
Sergeant George W. Thomas of Company B, who lives near Alexander City, in Coosa County, Alabama. Sergeant James H. Eason of Company F, who lives in Tallassee, Alabama. Private William A. Moore of Company F, who lives in Naches, Texas. Dr. Daniel S. Patterson of Company K, who lives in Montgomery, Alabama. (End List)
Rev. W. A. Moore, an old college class-mate at Auburn, flattered me by getting a transfer from the Sixty- first Georgia regiment to my company, and favored us on Sundays with good sermans.
Our regiment during its entire career, was favored with two faithful chaplins, one, Rev. Mark S. Andrews, D.D..... I wished to have my old school fellow, W. A. Moore, selected his successor, but Colonel Pickins gave the appointment to Rev. Henry D. Moore, D.D..."

Obituary...
Rev. William Arthur MOORE was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South at Newman, Georgia in 1855. He graduated from Emory College at Oxford in 1862. This excellent Christian gentleman and faithful servant of the church died February 20, 1909 at his home in Naches, Texas. Mr. MOORE belonged to my class of 1862 at Emory College and he was in my class at what is now the Polytechnic School at Auburn, Alabama. He was a bright, courteous and popular student. He was a rarely gifted man in thought and language. In battle he was never known to hesitate to advance and do his full duty. He was bold and outspoken, unhesitating in the expression of his opinion of men, of politics and affairs generally.
After the war he moved to Texas, where for 40 years he was a successful teacher and local minister. For years he was county surveyor of Anderson County, and planter of industry. He was ready to help a friend and ever bold to denounce wrong and injustice. His son writes me that the funeral occasion was one of exceeding great interest in the county, largely attended by the best, the richest and the humblest, the most highly educated and the most illiterate, all classes of citizens attending and testifying by their presence and by their words of eulogy to his great personal popularity and to theri intense grief at the departure of a true, and noble comrade and neighbor. The death of my friend and classmate and war comrade is a source of intense regret and deep grief. Capain Robert E. PARK, Company F, 12th Alabama Regiment C.S. A.
