Flag of the Confederacy is Raised Again
for Gallant Cavalry Officer

 

 

Memorial services, marking the birth of J. E. B. Stuart, were held by local chapters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

 

 

The confederate flag waved gently yesterday over 210 West Grace Street, the site of the house where General J. E. B. Stuart, Gallant Confederate cavalry leader died. Memorial services, marking the anniversary of his birth, were held by local chapters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Exercises at the building which now occupies the site were conducted at 10 A. M. by the Elliott Grays Chapter. Dr. Churchill J. Gibson, a cousin of General Stuart, was the speaker. The Elliott Grays Chapter also placed a Confederate flag on the monument at the grave of the cavalry leader in Hollywood Cemetery, while the Richmond Chapter placed a flag on Stuart's statue on Monument Avenue, shown in the upper left photo. At right are shown (left to right) Mrs. D. E. Satterfield, member of Lee Chapter, U. D. C.; Dr. Gibson and Mrs. Charles W. Schaadt, president of Elliott Grays Chapter, at services at 210 West Grace Street.
