JULIUS A.
SCALES.
(An
Appreciation.)
After
eighty-three
years of
splendid
citizenship
Julius A.
Scales died
at his home
in Houston,
Texas, on
May 21,
1926, and
was buried
in
Corsicana,
his former
home, May
23.
Mr. Scales
was born in
Rockingham
county,
North
Carolina, in
1845 and
came to the
state of
Texas in
1859. He
first
settled at
Raleigh,
Texas, but
later moved
to Milford,
where he was
married to
Miss Eliza
Caldwell in
1873. He is
survived by
his three
daughters
and one
grandson,
his wife
having
preceded him
in death
five years
ago.
Mr. Scales
was a
gallant and
faithful
Confederate
soldier and
answered the
call of duty
at all
times. He
joined the
Confederate
army in the
very
beginning of
the war of
1861 and
served the
four years
faithfully,
showing
great
courage and
fortitude.
He belonged
to Parsons
Brigade and
fought under
Captain John
Brown.
Mr. Scales
moved to
Corsicana in
1884 and was
a resident
of this city
until about
eight years
ago when he
moved to
Houston. He
was a member
of Camp
Winkler, U.
C. V.,
Navarro
county and
remained a
member of
this camp
until his
death.
Much could
be said of
the
admirable
characteristics
of this
beloved
comrade. He
was a friend
of all
classes and
loved by all
who knew
him; kindly
and
charitable
in speech,
as well as
deed; always
genial and
of good
cheer,
always
courteous
and
forbearing
with others.
Although he
kept his
membership
in Camp
Winkler,
Navarro
county, U.
C. V., he
was greatly
loved and a
favorite
with Dick
Dowling Camp
at Houston.
With that
camp he
attended the
Confederate
reunion at
Dallas, May
1925 and
died at the
time of the
reunion at
Birmingham,
Ala., May
1926.
The reunions
of the
Confederate
veterans
meant much
to Mr.
Scales. He
looked
forward to
these
occasions
with much
pleasure.
His services
to his state
and the
Confederacy
was a great
one. His
exemplary
life, his
contribution
to the
events which
make history
in this
country, and
the impress
which he
made upon
those with
whom he came
in contact
form the
greatest
eulogy that
could be
pronounced
upon his
long and
useful life.
This beloved
man was an
uncle of our
own esteemed
citizen, Mr.
Wade Smith,
who is a
kind friend
of the
Confederate
soldiers at
all times
and on all
occasions.
