1861 August 18

[From the diary of Harrison B. Jones, 33rd Virginia Infantry, Co. H. (Page Greys)]

Rainy & disagreeable. There
was to have been preaching
in the 28th Regt, B. Brubaker
and myself went over but
the rain prevented our
hearing the sermon.
the report that Gen Lyon
is killed seems to be
confirmed.

B. Brubaker may perhaps be William A. Brubaker, 1834-1917, of Co. H. Enlisted June 1861. Absent sick October 1861- January 1862. To Sergeant February 1862. AWOL April 1862 and reduced to ranks. Wagoner April 1862-April 1865. Paroled at Winchester May 1865. [Spratt. Page County, Virginia Men in Gray]
