Proudly Presents
Officers and men of Company A, 61Virginia Infantry Regiment, CSA
| CONFEDERATE MONUMENT - This
picture, snapped in 1905 at the
unveiling of the Confederate Monument at the Pleasant Grove Baptist
Church in Hickory, has been obtained by church officials in an effort
to find out more about the historic monument. Mrs. Ralph Smithson,
Route 2, Chesapeake, has spent the last year searching the records for
additional records. She has identified all of the gentlemen in the
picture except one. All are members of Jackson Grey's regiment from
Lower Norfolk County. The men in the picture were soldiers in the
regiment when it camped for ten days in 1861 at the present site of the
monument. From left to right are Dr. H. S. Etheridge, Carey Foreman, J.
N. Wood, W. A. West, J. W. Creekmore, Alex Lee, Leroy West, Capt.
William H. Stewart, Tom West, Caleb Hodges and the man in the big white
hat on the right is still unknown. Published in the
Chesapeake Post, July 8, 1965, Chesapeake, VA.
