Pvt. John Newton Hodnett, Company B, 46th Alabama Regiment Infantry (CSA)
Brave Confederate Veteran Goes to Reward - Died in Seman, Elmore County, Alabama, March 25, 1923, Mr. John N. Hodnett, age 87 years, a gallant comrade in arms during the Civil War. He enlisted in the cause in March, 1862. The company was formed in Equality (Brooksville) that month, drilled and armed in Loachapoka, forming the 46th Alabama Brigade, Co. B, commanded by Mike L. Woods, of Montgomery. The winter of 1863-64, we were quartered in tents in Chattanooga, Tenn. Early spring of 1864 the Regiment entered first engagement on Lookout Mountain with the Federal Army---from there we retreated to Missionary Ridge, where one of the bloodiest encounters of the Civil War was fought. It lasted for about 90 days, during this time we fought in day and retreated at night until we reached Atlanta, Ga. Then held the Federal Army in check for three days, July 26-27-28th. After the fall of Atlanta, Gen. Sherman made for the rear of Gen. Lee's army about Richmond. After the fall of Atlanta, Gen. Joseph E. Johnson was superseded by Gen. Hood. Under his command we crossed the Tennessee River west of Florence on to Columbia, Tenn., where Gen. Pettus took command of the 46th Ala., forced the crossing of the Duck River the following day, 30th of Nov. 1864, most terrific battle was fought at Franklin, Tenn., where 1400 buried and 4000 wounded. Gen. Hood takes his army, makes a break for Nashville, a good portion of his army were captured and sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, in prison for about six months to the close of the war. Myself and John N. Hodnett were both captured and carried to Camp Chase. 50 percent of the soldiers died of pneumonia.
Myself and Mr. John N. Hodnett, my gallant comrade, fought side by side during that bloody struggle. He was a true loyal subject to his cause and would not permit if he could prevent, the Confederate flag to trail in the dust. We were released from Camp Chase prison the 13th day of June, 1865, and arrived home to meet those near and dear to us 23rd day of June, 1865.
Sleep on my dear friend, That blessed sleep, from which none ever, Wake to weep.
Pvt. E.M. Williams, Co. B. 46th Alabama Regiment Infantry
