W. S. Lacy, D. D., Presbyterian, Wake County, commis-
sioned 25 August, 1863, son of Drury Lacy, D. D. Promo-
ted from ranks of “Rockbridge Artillery.” “Deeply pious,
fully consecrated to his work, which he showed by his labors
for the benefit of his fellow men, both in the pulpit and out of
it. He conducted a Christian Association and an Educa-
tional Institute for the moral and mental improvement of
his men.” Thus writes his friend Webb, of the Forty-fourth.
The men who were in the Forty-fourth and Forty-seventh
Regiments during the last fifteen months of the war can never
forget these two young preachers and their work. Like
David and Jonathan, their hearts were knit together. God
blessed their labors. Lacy preached many years to one con-
gregation in North Carolina, and was till his recent death, a

prominent worker in the Church of his fathers, pastor of a
chureh in Norfolk, Va.

FIFTY-SECOND REGIMENT.

J. M. Cline, M. E. Church, South, commissioned 28 May,
1862, and served till near the close of the war. One friend
writes: “At the battle of Gettysburg he behaved in a most
gallant manner. On the first day, just before our line of bat-
tle became hotly engaged, he took quite a number of canteens
and filled with water, slinging them across his shoulder, he
rode into the engagement behind the line, and as a soldier
was shot down, he rode to him, dropped a canteen of water to
him, and then passed on to others in the same way.” Souls
were converted under his ministry. He reported thirty-
four at one time. Again he wrote: “On last Sabbath I ad-
ministered the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper to one hun-
dred or more communicants. God was with us, and we had
a refreshing season from the presence of the Lord. The re-
vival is still progressing.” He was in the South Carolina
