Un the 28th of July, 1888, nar Lenoir, Tenn., in the 41th year of his age, Capt. Thomas Lenoir Norwood passed from the life that has ended into the endless life. The son of Joseph Caldwell and Laura Lenoir Norwood, and tho grandson of Col. William Lenoir, of Caldwell, and of Judge William Nor wood, of Orange county, he was born in Hillsboro, N. C, June 17th, 1845 In 1857 he began a four-years' course at Bingham School, which he completed with the highest distinc tion, and entered the University at Chapel Hill in 1861, where he was facile prinoeps in every department After spending a year at the Univer sity, he entered the Confederate army as a private in 1862, at just seventeen, and it is only justice to him and in justice to no one to say tbat no leader of any army ever had a better soldier. While still a private he was severely wounded in the heel early in an action; but he refused to be taken to the field hospital "with his box full of cartridges , as he said; and being unable to walk, lie crept to the front on his hands and knees, and continued to fire as long as be had a cartridge, and was only then carried in a fainting condition to the rear. From thi-, the first orchis five wounds, he was slightly lama to the end of bis life. He was soon promoted for con spicuous gallantry, and was again severely wounded at Gettysburg, where he was captured within a few feet of the Federal works on Ceme tery Hill, and was confined in the Gettysburg College building, which was used aa a hospital for the severe ly wounded. But in a few days he made his escape in a student's gown; this he Boon exchanged for an old farmer's working clothes, and in the garb of a common laborer seeking employment in the harvest fields he passed successfully through the Fed eral army, was taken by the Confed erate pickets to Gen. Lee, with whom he breakfasted, gave the General in formation of great importance, and re joined his regiment with his wound still gaping. The writer was with him at Appomattox Court House and well remembers his repeating paragraph after paragraph of Virgil's story of the fall of Troy (so apposite to- our own condition) though he had not seen a copy of Virgil for three years. Very soon after the surrender he led a party of ex Confederates in an attack upon some desperate Wilkes county marauders, several of whom were slain in the assault upon their fortified position, six were shot by an extemporized 'drumhead court-martial, and but one escaped. Asra re sult marauding ceased in that region Capt. Norwood's next work was teaching at Bingham School, where his excellence at a Confederate soldier was transfer: ed to his new field of labor, and he taught at Bingham with great acceptance until the loss of his wife, Carrie Bahnson Norwood, in 1875, caused him to seek other scenes. Between 1875 and 1882 he taught at j Fayetteville, Tenn-, Port Gibson, Miss., and made an enviable reputation as President of the East Texwa Uni versity at Tyler, Texas. But misfor tune smote him again, and after the death of his second wife, Maggie Bright Norwood, at Port Gibson, Miss., in 1881, he sought and was warmly welcomed by bis former asso ciates and friends at Bingham School, where he remained from 1882 until June 1888, when he was promoted to the position of Professor and Dean of the faculty in the University of Tenn. at Knoxville. Here, with a wide and widening field of action, which his successful experience as a teacher, his broad culture and his em inent social qualities fitted him to fill with the greatest credit to him self, and with the greatest usefulness to the University, he was suddenly cut down in the very prime of his manhood. He was one of the most gifted men the n riter ever . knew. His school boy nickname, Big Tom Norwood, which followed him through life, was an excellent instance of hat insight into human nature which the nicknames school bojs give so often display. He was big in body, big in mind and big in heart. His talent for the acquisition of knowledge, his skill La imparting it, his exceptional social qualities, his powers as a conversationalist, his skill aa a musician, his inexhaustible sup ply of anecdote, his ready wit and genial humor, all these made a combi nation rare and excellent, and he was oved as it is the lot of few men to be loved, and is regretted as it is the ot of few men to be regretted by kinsman, friend and acquaintance, by rich and poor, high and low, gen tle and simple alike for everybody who knew him ioved him. He died as he lived, a Christian, in charity with all, and in the hope of the gos pel of Christ. Jieqmescat tn pace.
