 Julius L. Schaub
J. L. Schaub was born in Davidson County, N.C. January 9, 1843. His father was of the Moravian stock about Salem, N.C., and his mother a Lambuth, of English ancestry. When the war began in 1861, he was a student in Yadkin Institute.
When Sumter fell, young Schaub and many other students went to their homes and prepared for service in the Confederate Army. He joined a company that was mustered into service on April 15, 1861, and it became part of the 4th North Carolina Regiment. This regiment was afterwards the 14th.
Comrade Schaub was wounded in his first battle. He soon recovered, and was a gallant Soldier to the end. He moved to Georgia years ago and lived at LaGrange until his death. |
