Reported Dead, Is Alive
ral** Record op Tablet in Memorial
Hall Will Be Corrected
/ Chapel Hill Weekly )
T. S. /Webb, of the . class of
1862, is recorded on a tablet in
Memorial Hall as among the
Confederate dead. But he is
very much alive. At the age of
86 he is the senior partner of
the law firm of Webb, Baker, and
Egerton of Knoxville, Tennes
see.
For 40 years the name of Mr.
Webb has remained on the mem
orial tablet of marble. On his
visits to the Hill he would often
see the record, but he didn't ob
ject. Four years ago, however,
his daughter—who * has since
died —came with him to Chapel
Hill, and she asked that the tab
let be removed. Through some
oversight it was not done; but
iow Charles T. Woollen, business
manager of the University, has
engaged a marble w T orker to
come over from Durham and at
tend to the job.
In a letter to his relative, A.
H. Patterson, Mr. Webb incloses
the copy of a letter to D. L.
Grant, secretary of the Alumni
Association, explaining the false
death record.
In 1862, in front of Corinth,
Mississippi, General Grant was
about to turn the Confederate
flank, cut the Mobile and Ohio
railway, and thereby prevent
General Beauregard from carry
ing away his immense stock of
supplies.
The young officer was or
dered by Brigadier General Don
eleon to carry an important
message to the Bth Tennessee
regiment. Pie had to pass
through a lane separating two
small fields, and there he found
himself in a crossfire of ballets.
One struck his saddle. He
spurred his horse on to where
the Tennessee regiment had
been stationed. But it had been
driven back, and he found him
self a prisoner of General Law
man’s Indiana brigade.
Mr. Webb’s hat had been lost
and found by his own men. His
horse broke loose and went back
to the Confederate lines with
the wounded saddle. This,
naturally, led to the report of
his death. It was published in
his home town of Memphis and
his family did not know the
truth until Memphis was taken
and General Lawman notified his
mother that he was in a North
ern prison.

I “My waffles were light and beautifully
brown,” says Miss Allen, director of The
Boston School of Cookery. “They cooked
on a hot flame, with yellow tips 1 inches
high above the blue area.”
“I found the Perfection so dependable,”
reports Mrs. DeGraf, home economics
counsellor. “I left a roast lamb in the oven
for hours. The flame never wavered.”
No Scouring Needed
“Eggs a la King and broiled tomatoes are
delicious enough in themselves,” affirms
Miss Hall, nutrition expert, “but twice as
delicious to the cook whose kettle bottoms
need no scouring. Perfection’s long chim
neys burn every drop of oil before the heat
reaches the cooking. No soot or odor.”
