His son Conder Jerome wrote,
"When I was nearly four years old my father volunteered for the War and left home for Lee's army in Virginia. This left my mother and two children alone on the farm. She rented the small farm to John Flow. By this means we managed to get bread and meat while Father was at the War. He sent home all the confederate money he could get and Grandfather paid off our land debts with it and got the deed to the property. These debts were for some extra land and a house which Father bought and moved to when I was two and a half years old. So when he got home from the army he was out of debt but had nothing but land and a family. I do not know how we managed in those days, but I do know that we had a hard time. Mother made money by weaving cloth for her neighbors. My father volunteered at the beginning of the second year of the War and remained to the end. He was a sargeant [sic] and spent a big part of his time in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and in the hospital. He prayed that he might not kill anyone or be killed, and in the Providence of God he never fired a gun at the enemy although was often in much danger. He came home at the surrender of General Lee. During the rest of his life he was an admirer to that part of Virginia."
