Soldier’s Money

The Home News, January 11, 1862

Capt. T. W. Moore, of the 36th regiment, arrived from Summersville, Va. on Monday, which place he left on Tuesday of last week. He was the custodian of over $12,000, which the soldiers of his own and Capt. Devol’s companies, and a few others sent to their families and friends. Below we publish a list of those from whom the money came, to whom it is to be paid and the amount. The average from each soldier – excluding commissioned officers, is $60 – a very creditable saving. It is probably that about $15,000 will reach this county from the 36th regiment.
