ROLAND GOOCH, CONFEDERATE

Democrat
August 10, 1911

ROLAND GOOCH OF NEVADA

One of the one-line, old-time ex-Confederate soldiers, who fought valiantly for the Stars and Bars from ‘61 to ‘65, never flinching or failing to do his duty, is here today mingling with old comrades at the reunion. He called in to see his favorite county paper, the Weekly Democrat-Gazette, having been a valued reader for almost a quarter of a century—and bid us Godspeed. Mr. Gooch is a good Christian man, a sound Democrat, and a most highly respected citizen of the Nevada section, where he has lived for the past 35 years. He enlisted in the Confederate army in Nov. 1861, and followed the flag until April 26, 1865. He was in 42nd company C of Tennessee, Quarrel's Brigade, Wathall's Division, Stewart's Corps. Bro. Gooch saw some sure enough fighting with the army of Tennessee. He is yet hale and hearty, well known all over the county, and very popular with all who know him.
