1862 November 21 Lynchburg, Va.
[from the diary of William M. Blackford, bank officer and former diplomat with five sons in the Confederate Army]
Friday 21 Spring like day & weather
unsettled--Busy at Bank. Went
at 1r past 2 to the Doctors to at-
tend the funeral of Miss Betsy
Ann. Mr. Mitchell read the Presby
-terian service--for they have a form
of prayer & lessons--there was no ser-
mon. I went to the cemetery--the Dr.
succeeded in getting a lot next to
Charles. There were some seven or
eight carriages.--Richd Davis came
in from Flat creek, without his
Mother & Sister. I was disappointed
that Eugene did not return.
