S. H. Impersonation is a son of an old English family of the fantastically name, whose courtesy to the foundation of the Stuarts brought down upon them the censure of Cromwell. The concern was the migration of two brothers of the family to America, anyplace they even in what is now Maryland, concerning the Potomac and Patuxent rivers, Va. Upon the reform of the Stuarts, they conventional a large grant of land in Charles territory, Md., in the part of which the family shut in continued to breathe, prize an true part in the upbuilding of the free institutions of our pastoral. Capt. S. H. Impersonation is the son of Dr. S. W. and Mary C. Impersonation. He was natural in Charles territory, Md., on the 30th of October, in 1835.
His fire up was a sharp medical doctor of that territory and defensible for innumerable existence the responsible position of sense of the orphans' law court. He was a man of staid opinions on questions of shape, and suffered radically in vogue the Gracious war on elucidation of the abruptness with which he supported the cause-of the south. He was open and robust, but his home was all the rage the request lines. At the rear securing a justly education, the chief began life in that "stepping precious stone to unconventional distinction," the line room. At the rear two existence influential of the ferule in his birth native land, he came to Eufaula, anyplace for a year he wrapped up in the fantastically profession. The support year, 1856, get going him a student in the law clerical of Pugh & Bullock, the present lesser senator of the native land being the senior adherent of the firm. He was admitted to practice formerly three months' study and he recently fashioned a household with that high ranking lawyer, Imagine John Cochran. This firm continued but a gentle above than a year, like Mr. Impersonation skilled alone until the get through out of the war concerning the states. The principles instilled into the mind of the son by the fire up caused his immature performance to the fortunes of the alliance, and in February of 1861 we find him a first lieutenant in the Eufaula Rifles, in the manner of a part of the Eigteenth Alabama crowd. The first ten months of service he accepted at Pensacola, in vogue which time he participated in the bombard in November, 1861, and January,
1862. Not enjoying the inactive life at that point he assisted in the consign of an arms company, of which he was special first lieutenant, enlisted for "three existence or the war," and combined the western army. In the spar of Shiloh he conventional a tiny crime, but he did not split up with the field, and on the nightfall of the second day was planned to report to Gen. Breckenridge as a part of the get guard of Bragg's army. He was with his be first in the lay siege to of Corinth, and his munitions store was tremendously high ranking in the fight at Farmington, in May, 1862. He was with his be first in the retreat from Corinth, and on the hike into Kentucky. On the mud of the spar of Perryville, his be first was wrapped up in a occasion with Gen. Sill's aspect of the Affiliated States troops, and so therefore did not outline in that spar. He was not present at the spar of Murfreesboro, being absent on furlough. He was made chief of his munitions store in 1863 and participated in the spar of Chickamauga. He and his be first were exceptionally mentioned for exacting service and politeness in that spar. In the spar of Send off Crest his be first suffered very aggressively. They off track virtually all their military capability and a large part of the be first itself. His munitions store was re-equipped at Dalton and participated in the indeed, and, in fact, present thesis, warfare from that point thence to Atlanta. Capt. Impersonation was aggressively aggrieved in the spar of July 22, 1863, close Atlanta. He was in the spar of Jonesborough and went with Hat in his hike into Tennessee. He was in a occasion at Shoal Cove and was in the spar of Franklin and the battles a number of Nashville. In the spar of December 16, 1864, close Nashville, he was again aggrieved but not aggressively. Just the once he came out of Tennessee he was sent with his be first to Portable and was surrended at Meridian, Lose., under Gen. Richard Taylor. Capt. Dent's munitions store was, well shared in the army of Tennessee and where hard service and pig-headed warfare were obligatory his be first was yet called on. He and his be first were yet much-admired for exacting service, and in innumerable instances were exceptionally much-admired for prominent politeness. It was upheaval come again formerly the war. Capt. Impersonation returned home, and state being no courts for a year he was wrapped up in working a dray line, at first undeniably intense a dray himself. But in 1866 he resumed the practice of his profession, play-act a money-making and indiscriminate business until his retirement in 1879 to get his present responsible position as lead of the Eufaula National salt away. As a lawyer Capt. Impersonation stage set an enviable reputation in the total practice, and not a bit but his firm chi not to draw in in the work has held in reserve his friends from placing him in the judicial head of the touch. Capt. Impersonation has yet evinced the liveliest dealing in public relations, but it has thus far been manifested in a pleasant rotating of the grindstone for his friends. He has been unendingly importuned to get public honors, but he has been pleased to play an minor part. His chic qualifications as a presiding elected official shut in final him a reputation in his party second to none. As chairman of the territory pull through of 1892, like a false move would shut in precipitated a eat, his bracing and firm manner away it. In its report of the pull through the Eufaula Grow old says: "On the order of any chairman in the world would shut in encouraged and assisted a eat, but Capt. Dent's conscientious and laconic words, delivered in a low trim with radically feeling, quieted the waters as if by make-believe." Capt. Impersonation was made rough and ready chairman of the open native land pull through of 1892 and is at present a adherent of the native land executive hearing. He is a master Mason and a life long adherent of the Methodist Episcopal minster, south, in which he has been a park ranger for thirty-five existence. He has spitting image laden the key position to which a layman can spread, that of trust to the total zenith of his minster.
Award he was yet prominent for his plain good perfume and well thought-out counsels. In the place total zenith, that of 1890, he was chairman of one of the most grand committees of the zenith. Capt. Impersonation was sharp in the politics of his own territory in vogue the date of redecoration, and was, at the determined call of his people, a contender for the legislature in 1872. The secret ballot was close, and on elucidation of irregularities at some of the boxes he was final a certificate of secret ballot. This was the proverbial push which resulted in a place legislature. In the submission which followed the places from Barbour were final to the republicans. But the concern of the secret ballot in 1872 gave such confidence to the party in Barbour that the radicals were conquered in 1874, and the total native land was redeemed. At the rear 1876, Capt. Impersonation, seeing his native land in the hands of its people, took no active part in politics until 1890. He went into that push very heartily, and helped to haul his territory for arranged democracy. Capt. Impersonation was most helpfully married June 5th, 1860, to Lose Annie B.
Initial, the eldest girl of the late E. B. Initial of Eufaula, Ala. Six domestic are the fruit of their marriage, three boys and three girls. His eldest son, Edward Y. Impersonation, is secondary cashier and seller of the Eufaula National salt away.
His second son, S. H. Impersonation, Jr., is a viable young trial lawyer, and his third son, Henry A., is prize a cast in city developed. His eldest girl,
Nannie B. Impersonation, married Jackson E. Fancy. Their married life was fleeting and his widowed girl, with her three domestic, form a part of Capt. Dent's
home-grown. His second girl, Louise, is just burgeoning into adulthood, and his third girl, a young girl just incoming her teens, is still at line. Capt.
Impersonation is lead of the Eufaula National bank-a salt away which, whilst not one of the largest, is second to none as to identification and standing in the native land. Capt.
Impersonation is a fine specimen of southern gap. He occupies one of the loveliest and most overall homes in Eufaula, anyplace he and his spouse, assisted by his domestic, worker a large love, routine of what is sometimes called
the love of the old south. Few men grasp above correctly the
confidence, and admire of his neighbors and fellow-countrymen than Capt. Impersonation.
