Died in a confedrate home.
My grandfather, Pleasant Marion Tipton, was a remarkable man. He was the only Grandfather I ever knew. My Father parent died before I was born, Grandfather Tipton was a man who insisted on earning his bread by the sweat of his brow, When my father asked him for his daughter's hand in Marriage-- Yes in those days did that--he said: " Young man do you earn your living by the sweat of your brow ?" and when my father replied that he did, grandfather said, " Then I have no objection."
Grandfather would accept no pension from Govermement when they finally began giving pensions to the Confederate Veterans as well as the Union soldiers. He served four years in the Confederate Army, but was opposed to war, was in several major battles, and said that he fired only one shot during the four years, that was at a hog, andhe missed it. When we boys asked him, "Grandpa how did you manage to escape the notice of the officers if you did not fire your musket?" His reply was: " They were too busy taking care of their own hides to notice me." He said that when they called him into the service, he obeyed and went, because his Bible said to be subject to the rulers of the land." " but because he went, he did not have to kill anyone, because his Bible also told him "Thou shall not kill." Said that he " told all along that if they would listen to that fellow Abe Lincoln, there would be no need of a war."
He used to tell me a story of the time his brother was killed in his arms in the Battle of the "Cornfield" " the bullets were flying thick and fast, cutting down the corn as well as the men. My brother was hit and another man and I were carrying him from thr field. I had his shoulders and his head, while the other man carried his legs. A bullet came along and hit my brother in the hesd, killing him instantly. That bullet just missed my nose- so I know what a mad bullet smells like'
When the Confederates Veterane of Harmon County, Oklahoma organized a camp in Hollis Grandfather was asked to jion. He gave his name as a member, but when he found that the primary purpose of the organization was to petition the Government for pensions, he withdrew, and refused to be a party to the petition. No persuasion could cause him to change his mind. He said: " the Government owes me nothing. I went into the army and did what I could to help with the sick and wounded, but I did no fighting, and if I had I would not have done it for pay."
Another story he frequently told me in connection with the Civil War, Started like this: "Leon when I meet a man that says he is from Arkansas ( He pronounced it with a broad "Saw") I shake hands with BOTH hands. " It was in the third year of the war, Ihad had no furlough since I was conscripted. I was sick and and asked Old Captain Jack if I could not go home. He said we would see the Colonel. We went into the Colonel's tnet and I told him what I wanted. He asked me how mush time I needed? I told him three weeks. " And Captain Jack said : "Yes and THREE more on the top of that. That man will come back. Look at the cut of his beard." So I was given six weeks furlough. It was a long walk from where we were to my home in East Texas. I had no other way to travel other than "Shanks Mare" (Walk) . In Arkansaw I fell by the wayside. My shoes were worn out, and my feet were bleeding, A colored man found me and his white mistress badehim bring me into the home. They put me into one of the biggest feather beds I ever saw. and the woman started dectoring me. I was too far gone for her to do any good.
She sent for a doctor who lived in the neighborhood. He was a little short fellow, without a hair on his head. He had to tiptoe to reach me in that big bed. He thumped me, pinched my legs and smelt ot me. finally he said: "Well I can kyors you, but I will have to give you strichine to do it. there is other medicians that would do it, but the army has taken all of it, and I can't get any of it'"
Grandfather said he was in a state where he did not care what the doctor gave him, en=ven if it killed him, and got him out of his misery. The medication and the nursing care of the woman got him on the road to recovery after about four weeks. Grandfather said
: and right there Leon, that woman ought to have taken a club and killed me. I was ill mannered, and grumpy. The woman liked to talk and ask questions. I did not fell like talking. She said: " Mr. Tipton don't you every talk to your wife?" "Yes" says I, "when she talks with any sense." right there she ought to have killed me. I was up soon and she wove cloth and made a suit od cloths. Sent to the tan yard and got leather, and made me a pair of shoes." then as I had no money, except some Confederate bills, she manged to find a dallor or two and gave me that, and sent me on my way. iwas almost six months getting back to my command. When the Colonel saw me he looked me over and said;" Well I wounder what Captain Jack would think of the cut of your beard now if he hadn't got killed." So. Leon, when I meet a man from Arkansaw I use BOTH hands to shake hands with him. they are the finest people on earth."
I have a letter that Grandfather wrote me when I was * years Old. Written on cheap pale blue pencil paper, and almost faded to the point of Illegibility. But I remember most of the contents. He urged me to go to school and learn all I could, and to always behonest, work hard and obey the laws of the land and the Good Book. I know his admonition have been of much use to me, though I could never claim to be the man my grandfather was.
He had a great faith in the Bible, and though without very muchformal schooling, he had a wonderful education to my belief. He could quote many passages from the Bible, and had, in some cases, perhaps, and unorthodox interpretation of the meaning, but on the whole his judgement were sound and thoroughly Christain. He told me why he was not a member of an organized church. He said: " I was a member of the Baptist church." and we met in a little log building in the edge of the woods.BY LEON (BUCK) DIAL
