article from the Confederate Veteran mag., dated March, 1920, page 107.
Corporal R. HARPER HAGOOD, veteran of the War Between the States, was born at Augusta, Ga. June 14, 1846 and passed away on Oct. 19, 1919, at the home of his daughter, MRS. J.O. Patterson, Barnwell, S.C. The interment was made in the Barnwell Bapt. cemetery. A large concourse of sorrowing relatives and sympathetic friends gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to this good man. His wife preceded him to the grave by only a few months.
He emlisted in the Confederate army in Nov., 1863, under Captain Stewart of the Beaufort Artillery and served gallantly in every engagement of his company from that time, winning the highest respect of his officers as a fearless soldier. He was with General Johnston's army when it surrendered at Greensboro, April 27, 1865.
Like many other heroes of the Southern cause, he returned after the 4 years's bitter struggle to a devastated home...
Corporal Hagood married MISS ESTELLE INGRAM in 1874 and is survived by a son and a daughter. His brother, CAPT. WILLIAM HENRY HAGOOD of Greenwood, S.C. , is the last member of his family.
Each year Father Time with relentless scythe enters the fast-fading ranks of gray and the numbers of that band of heroes fall before him like ripened grain before the sickle.
