Experience of a Confederate Chaplain—Rev. A. D. Betts, 30th N. C. Regiment
    

Barefoot men march in snow.

Nov. 9—Division moves to Strasburg. Barefoot men march in snow. Bury H. Y. Kirkpatrick at night in Presbyterian cemetery. He enlisted at nineteen, from Mecklenburg county. Lovely Christian. Died in the house of Mrs. Davis, November 8th, 10:30 p. m. How sad the sight! How tenderly a few of his comrades raked away the snow, dug the grave and laid the noble youth away! The chaplain’s prayer is that he and they may meet him on the Resurrection Day.
