We have a letter from Miss Kate Anderson, dated on the 13th, written from Morristown, Tennessee, informing us of the death of her father, Charles S Anderson, which occurred at about that time, (no date given) at River Bend farm, his home on the Holston river, near Morristown. Mr Anderson was born at Salem, Va, June 15, 1836, and at the time of his death was in his 85th year. When the war between the States broke out in 1861 he volunteered in Capt Hupp's Artillery Company which was ordered to Crany Island near Norfolk. While there he witnessed the battle between the Merrimac and the Monitor, saw the sinking of the Cumberland and the Congress and heard the explosion when the Merrimac was blown up to prevent it falling into the hands of the Federale. When the Confederates left Norfolk he went with his company to Petersburg where the company received its guns. After being drilled there for a while his company was attached to the Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Gen Lee and played its part in the great battles of Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, Cold Harbor, Sharpsburg and many other battles of lesser note. The Company surrendered with Gen Lee at Appomattox and its Captain claimed that his company fired the last gun heard on this memorable occasion.
When the war closed Mr Anderson returned to Salem but soon moved to Greenbrier, where, on the 29th day of May, 1865, he married Miss Patsy Jane Feamster, sister of the late T L, Jos A, and S W N Feamster. For twelve years he lived near Lewisburg on the place now occupied by Geo T Argabrite. He then moved back to Salem and in 1883 moved to East Tennessee where he had since resided with his family near Morristown. His wife died in February, 1909. He is survived by five daughters - Misses Kate, Olive, Pearl, Nellie and Pattie and two sons, Henry and Locke Anderson. Mr Anderson was a successful farmer and his home was one of boundless hospitality where his kin and friends ever found a hearty welcome. While living in Tennessee Mr Anderson visited Greenbrier a number of times. These visits he greatly enjoyed and his old Greenbrier friends were always glad to see him. With a cordial manner and a genial disposition he made many warm friends and the many he had here will be grieved to learn of his death. Tho he had passed his four score years he continued stout and active until his last illness.
The funeral was held at Noe's Chapel M E Church, South, of which he was a member, and was conducted by Rev J C Logan and Rev Dr Wily. Interment in the cemetery nearby.
