JOSH P. MULLINAX

Saturday, November 28, 1908.
JOSH MULLINAX
Mr. Editor: Will you give me space for a few brief remarks I desire
to speak fair eulogy of our dear and lamented comrade, J.P. MULLINAX,
who died in your city on the 29th day of October. J.P. MULLIXAX ,
JOSH, as the boys called him. JOSH has been a life long friend. We
loved him as a brother. He was a brave, a true soldier. JOSH was
human and like all humanity had his faults but his faults were worse
to himself and he was his own worst enemy. I stood by his side in
many hard struggles in the days that tried men's souls. But now our
dear comrade is gone and left us to mourn his absence from our
departed ranks. JOSH was 3rd lieutenant of Company A, Palmetto
Sharpshooters, Jenkins Brigade, Longstreets corps, army of Northern
Virginia.
We admired him on the march, in the camp, but more especially on the
battlefield. He was kind and patient with the boys and ever ready
and willing to lend a helping hand and to make a sacrifice for those
around him. Now his rewards is before him and we trust that it is
greater and grander than anything of this earthly habitation. With
that inspiring and revential awe of the sublimity of men we bow in
humble thought of knowing that our dear comrade was a noble type and
specimen of God's creatures. We can say of a truth, JOSH MULLINAX
was a man of a heroic and manly nature and in common sense of fair
dealing was a man above reproach and made just a good of citizen as
he made a soldier.
Now that he is gone from us and too, that our days are numbered, may
we all meet in that celestial city where the angels of Heaven will
echo and re-echo the joyful notes of calling the names of our dear
comrades. COL. JOE WALKER, JOSH H. EVANS, COL. J.P. LEGG, LIEUTENANT
FLEMING, of Spartanburg, WESLEY GOSS, JOHN KITCHENS, and a host of
other from Union and brave boys who we marched to the sweet notes of
Dixie with and many of them to death. Oh, how my very soul wells up
when I think of those brave men. Peace to their ashes.
by GEORGE G. BUCHANAN, Co. A Palmetto Sharpshooters, Chickasha,
Okla. Nov. 22, 1908.
