The bright sunny soul that we loved and honored sc much for his sterling manly qualities and courage- ous disposition. Chaplains in the ar- uy were not always respected as highly as their official dignity would indicate for they were not all like dear old Chaplain C. C. McCabe. He went out with the 122nd Ohio regi- ment and they were under the com- mand of that Intrepid fighter Milroy at Winchester when Jenkins came down upon thém with an overpower- Ing army. Milroy had not learned the disastrous folly of resisting a su- perior force and instead of bowing to the inevitable he set his foot down determined to hold the ground against the whole rebel army. The conse- quences was that his patriotic ar- my was gobbled up and Chaplain Me- Cabe found so much to do caring for the wounded men that he was made a prisoner. We have heard him tell his story after he escaped from Lib- by prison and It was very funny. He told the rebel officer that he was on- ly a preacher and that he was there fo take care of the wounded men, and didn’t want to go to Richmond. They replied “You are just the kind of fellow we want. You have been preaching against us many years and shouting ‘On to Richmond’ and now We propose to make you travel that road.” So he found himself in Lib- by prison amongst the crowd of suf- fering comrades where he was con- fined four months. His sunny coun- tenance and happy disposition worked wonders with the boys and their lon- liness and distress was very greatly relieved by his efforts. After Col Streight engineered his famous tunnel through, which so many escaped, Chaplain McCabe came to our camp in Virginia and told the story, and we all threw up our hats and sung Glory Hallelujah.” He has lectured in Athens and his story has always been just as good as new and we felt the thrill of oid time patriotism whenever he told It. He surely was one of the heroes of the times FORMER ATHENS CITIZEN HIGHLY PROSPEROUS. Left Athens and Went to Willlam. sport Where He Has Been Suecessful.
