Married on Thursday, the 10th instant, by the Rev. Mr. Patterson, Mr. Geo. Kaigler, to Miss Catherine, daughter of the late William Kinsler, all of Lexington District.
       
    In the Catherine Kinsler Kaigler Exhibit in the Calhoun County, SC Museum, there is a large portrait of Catherine that rested on the mantel in the parlor of their home in Sandy Run. The painting was done by W. K. Brown in 1842. He was a contractor for the first railroad from Branchville to Columbia called the South Carolina Railroad -- now owned by the Southern Railroad.

The dress she is wearing was her wedding second-day dress. But the first thing that will attract you to this painting are the several holes which have been ripped in the canvas. Perhaps the canvas has deteriorated or rotted with age, you may think.

No!  The scars on the canvas were made by thrusts of Yankee bayonets when Sherman's Army was on their march through the South Carolina countryside on their way to Columbia. They tried their best to get Mrs. Kaigler to leave the house so they could burn it, but she refused. One of the Federal officers saw her and said she looked so much like his mother. He said if she stayed in the house, they would not burn it. The bayonet holes came from the Yankee soldiers trying to rip the painting from its frame.

In December 1861, Henry Thomas Smith, and his brother Wesley, enlisted in Company 'F' of the 10th Florida Infantry, W. W. Scott, Captain (later Lt Col). Charles P. Hopkins, Colonel commanding the 10th. Wesley's brothers, Edwin and Warren, were in the 3d and 7th Florida Infantries, respectively and seemed to have been in training until early 1862.

On March 11, 1862, Wesley, Henry, and Edwin (the 3d and 10th Infantries), under Colonel W. S. Dilsworth, were ordered by General Trapier to proceed to the docks in Fernandina, FL near Jacksonville) to destroy supplies which might have been of value to the federal troops. In a chance meeting at the Fernandina docks, Edwin met his father, Alexander Tobias Smith, who was enroute to Florida to join the rest of his family. It was the last time that Edwin saw his father, for soon after arrival in Lake Co, FL. (then Sumter Co), Alexander contracted pneumonia and died. Wes and Henry were on duty at Lee's surrender at Appomattox, VA. They were mustered out on 5 Apr 1865.

Henry Thomas Smith Served in Company 'F' of the Tenth Florida Infantry (Regiment). In his application for pension he states that he had lived in Florida for 46 years which figures that he came to Florida about 1861 which is incorrect as he is found living with his parents in the 1860 census of Florida at Massey Grove in Sumter County (Lane Park most likely). He was wounded in 1862, near Apalachicola, FL.; The wound was over his right hip. He was later at Appomattox, VA when Lee surrendered.

    From an unknown historian: 
   

"Dr. Kaigler was one of the pioneers of Quitman County, Georgia and a forceful factor in its development.  He was a practicing physician for almost half a century.  After graduating from the Medical School of Pennsylvania, he began his practice in this section before it was formed as Quitman County.  During the 1850's when we were in conflict with the North, he stepped forward and served in the Confederate Army with the five of his brothers, one of whom (David Saylor Kaigler) also belonged to the medical profession."
(One account has Dr. Kaigler enlisted as a private in Co. I 4th Regiment, Georgia Infantry April 29, 1861 at Oglethorpe, Georgia and was discharged December 26, 1861 at Camp Jackson on a "Surgeon's Certificate".  This account undoubtedly confuses Dr. Kaigler with another Henry M. Kaigler, Jr., a third cousin.  A more likely account has Dr. Henry M. Kaigler commissioned as a 1st Lieutenant, 777 District Georgia Militia of 91st Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 13th Division on February 14, 1862.)  Unfortunately, I have found no evidence of this Regimant.
"Dr. Kaigler was born in Lexington County, South Carolina, on October 11, 1829.  In 1837, his parents moved to Terrell County, Georgia and there lived on a 3,000 acre plantation which they bought.  They reared seven sons and five daughters. Dr. Kaigler's father, Major David Kaigler, distinguished himself in the War of 1812 and was recognized as one of Terrell County's most prominent citizens.  When his country held its Centennial Celebration in April 1956, Mrs. David Kaigler (Anna Barbara Craps), his wife was selected as the heroine of that county in the War Between the States.
In 1855, Dr. Kaigler married his beloved Rebecca Frances Rice, who was born and reared in Quitman County and whose family is predominantly identified with its early history.  He and his bride settled in a home along the banks of the Chattahoochee River in the northwest section of Quitman County and there fourteen children were born to this union.  Among their descendents who remained in this County to participate in its growth and development were two sons Henry Middleton Kaigler, Jr. and (George) Oscar Kaigler."

Dr. Kaigler was not only a skilled physician and thus interested in the well-being of his fellow man but he had inherited from his father a fondness for the political life and served in the Georgia Legislature as a Representative from Quitman County.  It was while attending a Legislative session that he was stricken with a fatal illness and died on May 15, 1898, his wife having preceded him in death only three months before.  They were living in Georgetown at the time of their deaths in the house now used as the Methodist Parsonage.  The local cemetery holds the remains of this couple who contributed so much to the early history of this county.

APPOMATTOX ECHO
The Last Volley on That Memorable Field
STATEMENT OF GENERAL GRIMES

It Was Fired by Cox's Gallant North Carolinians

In the Confederate Veteran for August, Captain William Kaigler, of Dawson, Ga., insists that the last volley at Appomattox was fired by the sharpshooters of Evans's division under his command, and not by North Carolinians. The closing incident of the greatest of modern wars is of such historic importance, and is so creditable to those participating therein, that it is not surprising that they should be proud of it and claim as much of its glory as truth permits.

In the Veteran for November,1898, Captain Kaigler first claimed this honor for his command, and in the Veteran for February, 1899, he is answered and contradicted by Captain James I. Metts, of Wilmington, who quotes statements (sustaining him), made by several North Carolina officers, among them being General W. R. Cox, whose brigade they say fired the last volley at Appomattox. In his last communication Captain Kaigler says that General Cox is liable to be mistaken, because his statement "is only from recollection after thirty years have elapsed." In this Captain Kaigler is himself mistaken, for this statement of General Cox is exactly the same written by him and published, in 1879, in Moore's History of North Carolina.

It was my privilege to be an active participant in that memorable morning's scenes at Appomattox as one of the staff of Major-General Bryan Grimes, and if fell to my lot to carry the last order on the field of battle immediately preceding the surrender. All the incidents of that historic occasion are still fresh in my memory, and as an eyewitness I unhesitatingly testify that the last volley at Appomattox Courthouse was fired by Cox's North Carolina brigade of Grime's division. But, to put the matter beyond all doubt, and to cite the best evidence possible, I will ask your readers to consider what was said about this controverted question by the witness best qualified to know-General Bryan Grimes-who planned and commanded the last charge at Appomattox.

I enclose, therefore, the following extract from Grime's own report, or statement, published in 1879, and never questioned before his death. As stated by him, he was given by General Gordon the divisions of Walker and Evans in addition to his own division, which was composed of Phil Cook's Georgia brigade, Battle's Alabama brigade, Grime's old brigade, and Cox's brigade. It is proper to state that General Grimes was not in the rear, but was with the line of battle and narrowly escaped being killed.

All soldiers know how hard it is for an un-mounted officer at one end of a long line of battle to know what is done at the other. Hence, it does not disparage Captain Kaigler's veracity or courage to assert that he, who was on the extreme left, could not know what was done on the right as well as mounted officer who were riding all along the line and had full opportunity of seeing all that was done.

This statement of General Grime's (who died in 1880) is so clear and explicit that it should be accepted as conclusive of the facts mentioned, and being of peculiar historic value, should be carefully read and remembered.
