'.v That the men of Jefferson Township bore an honorable part in the great struggle with secession, during the four long, eventful years from 1861 to 1865, and performed deeds of loyalty and heroism, the hotly contested fields of Cheat Mountain, Green Brier, Chickamauga, Stone River, Shiloh, Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge and many others bear ample evidence. Among those who slumber in unknown and unmarked graves beside the still waters of the South, lie a number of the sons of Jefferson Township, there to await the reveille of the heroic, when time shall be no more. But the memory of their heroic acts will be cherished in the hearts of a grateful people, who to the latest generation will call them blessed. We give herewith a list of those who entered the service of their country from Jefferson Township, and were honorably discharged by death or expiration of time of enlistment:
