- ROBERT L. BILLMYER. -
That "he followed General Lee from Five Forks to Appomattox" was the proudest boast of Robert L. Billmyer, and this was found written on a tablet among his papers after his death, a short time ago, which occurred at his home, near Shepherdstown, W. Va., in his sixty-sixth year.
He was a gallant Confederate soldier, enlisting in 1862 in Company F, 1st Virginia Cavalry, commanded by his brother, Capt. M.J. Billmyer. Though but a boy when he enlisted, he took pride in fighting for the country he loved so well. He fought until the enduntil the last shot was fired at Appomattox. He carried the flag of truce to his enemy, and all was over. He was severely wounded in the head in an engagement at Winebrenner's Crossroads, near Shepherdstown, but that did not keep him out of service at all.
After the close of the war, he returned to his home and resumed his work as a farmer. As a citizen he was highly respected and esteemed, and the community realizes a great loss. Confederate Veteran, 1910, p.486.
