This is an article that was in the CONFEDERATE VETERAN mag., dated 1904. {This is not my family}
'THE YOUNGEST ON RECORD'
sketch written by Comrade G.K. Crump of Tunica, Miss.
"I have seen several claims made as to the youngest Confederate Veteran, but I met recently one whom, at time of enlistment and amount of actual service rendered, surpasses any record I have yet seen. GEORGE S. LAMKIN was born at Winono
, Miss., Nov. 3, 1850. He joined Stanford's Mississippi Battery, at Grenada, Miss., on August 2, 1861 and at Shiloh, before he was 12 years old, was badly wounded. At Chickamauga he was wounded twice, once quite seriously. Mr. LAMKIN was very tall for his age when he entered the service and is now a man six feet and four inches tall. He lives at 880 Adams Street, Memphis, Tenn. Mr. LAMKIN is of a retiring disposition and was averse to my mentioning this matter, but I think it should be known as a matter of history."
" Blessed are the people who have a noble history and read it"
