At a meeting of Company “B,” Confederate Veterans, the following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, We have heard with great sorrow of the death of General James Longstreet, under whose leadership many of us fought during the great war; be it
Resolved, That in General Longstreet the Confederacy had one of her greatest leaders. His ability as such, his bravery, and unwearied zeal won for him a place in our hearts, and we desire as an organization to add our testimony to his worth as a soldier, citizen, and man.
We mingle our tears with those of his family and friends, and place a tribute of glory on his grave.
Resolved, That we send a copy of these resolutions to his bereaved wife and family.
