Judah Ann Nettles
Wife of Thomas H. Nettles
Judah lost her young Husband to the Civil War.
Thomas Nettles was born on June 30, 1832, in the Chesterfield District of South Carolina. On June 13, 1857, he married his sweetheart Judah Ann in Buena Vista, Monroe County, Alabama.
Just before his thirtieth birthday, he made the difficult decision to leave behind his wife, son and and enlist in Co. G of the 36th Regiment of Alabama Volunteers. Nettles mustered into Company F as a Second Sergeant on March 17, 1862. Sergeant Nettles was captured at Nashville in 1864 and taken to Camp Chase as a Prisoner of War. Sadly, mere weeks before the end of this terrible War, Thomas Nettles died on March 25, 1865. After the War, his twenty-seven year-old widow, affectionately known as Aunt Judy, cared for their son and daughter along with three other orphaned Nettles children. Judah never remarried. Judah Ann Nettles lost her young husband, her two brothers-in-law and all five of her own brothers in the War.
This Southern lady, called a "ministering angel" by her family and neighbors, always maintained a cheerful attitude. Beginning in 1913, Aunt Judy received a small Confederate pension from the State of Alabama. She was eighty-seven when she died while visiting her son in Peterman, Monroe, County, Alabama. The dedication and sacrifice of her husband and the sixty years of ministering to others in her widowhood are remembered by her family today.
