COMRADE CALVIN FISH, a member of Sam H. Dill Camp No. 444 U. C. V., of LaFayette County, Ark., died at his home in the southern part of that county on January 19, 1922, aged 82 years. He was born in the State of Georgia, December 31, 1839; was married three times, and is survived by his wife and ten of the sixteen children that had blessed his home.
In the old town of Lewisville, in Lafayette County, Calvin Fish enlisted for the Confederacy under Captain Whitt Harris and proceeded to Camden, Ark., where he was mustered into Bankhead's Battalion of Artillery, which was then ordered to Columbus, Ky. He was twice wounded in the battle of Shiloh. His company sustained a great loss in that battle, after which it was consolidated with Captain Scott's Battery, and was then engaged in the battle of Chattanooga. With Sweet's Battery he went through the Georgia campaign, and was then transferred to the Shannon Scouts. He was paroled at Columbus, Miss., on April 26, 1865. He was truly a brave and gallant Confederate soldier.
Comrade Fish was a consistent member of the Baptist Church for more than forty years, and was in every sense a true Christian, devoted to his Church.
Our Camp has lost one of its most beloved and worthy members; the county has lost one of its foremost and best citizens; his church has lost a devoted member; his family a kind husband and father.
