Columbus C. Key Confederate Veteran
July 1900
Vol. 8 No. 7
The Last Roll
C. C. Key
Columbus C. Key laid down his arms near Corinth, Miss., and his spirit passed over the river to rest beneath the shade of the trees of paradise.
At the beginning of the war he joined the Second Mississippi Regiment, of which Col. J. M. Stone (afterwards Governor Stone) was commander. The regiment was hurried to Virginia. It was in the victorious battle of Manassas. Comrade Key continued to serve with courage until the close of the war. He was always at the front when most needed. He was in all the principal battles of that army, and surrendered at Appomattox. He was a patriot in every sense, and ever clung to the Southern cause.
There were four of the Key brothers, all of whom served in the Confederate army. Maj. Thomas J. Key commanded artillery under Gen. Cleburne, and is at present editor of the Southern Agriculturalist, Nashville. Joseph Key, Kerens, Tex., belonged to the Fifteenth Arkansas Regiment, and was in the service to the end. John T. Key, now of Nashville, although very young, was in the Sixteenth Mississippi Regiment Cavalry under Forrest, and was in the battles of Athens, Sulphur Branch, Pulaski, and Elk River.
Columbus Key, at the close of the war, purchased a large farm eight miles from Corinth, Miss., where he lived until his death. He was esteemed by all his neighbors. He leaves four worthy children, one daughter and three sons, who will take care of and provide for their mother.
One by one the heroes of the greatest battles ever fought are passing to the mansions prepared by their Savior.

The pajama-clad body of Charlie E. Barnes, 47-year old elder in the

He was accidentally shot to death with a 12-gauge shotgun, Justice of

The gun was lying beside the body, at the foot of the back porch steps.
Sheppard and investigating officers theorized that Barnes had stepped
outside the house with his gun to frighten off a group of pecan-robbing
boys. Neighbors reported that youths had been stealing pecans off the
Barnes property.
The shot gun blast struck his left side.
The body was discovered shortly before noon by Mrs. Barnes, who had
returned from town to take her husband to a local physician.
The physician reported that Barnes had exceedingly high blood pressure
and had been under treatment for some time.
