Southern women in the Civil war. [from the New Orleans, la., Picayune, June 12, 1904.] T. C. Deleon's eloquent tribute to their courage. What they did for wounded and suffering soldiers. The Hospital offered opportunities for heroism.

Was she unreconstructed? Her wounds were great and wondrous sore. She was true then to her faith. That she is so to-day to the reunited land, let the fathers of Spanish war heroes tell. She needs no monument; it is reared in the hearts of true men, North and South. T. C. Deleon

The lonely and constant mother lingered to complete her work of love and life, the embalming of her husband's memory, until the autumn of 1906. Then she took her burthen and bore it to the Throne's foot. T. C. Deleon, Mobile, Alabama, December 1, 1908
