A List of Confederate Veterans of Carroll County, Georgia who were selected in 1901 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to be future recipients of The Cross of Honor. Not all these men lived long enough, however, to receive the medal since "dead" is penciled in next to some of the names on the list. Of course, by 1901, many of the Confederate veterans had already died. But this list was prepared for Mrs. Laurance Caldwell, President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, to use in selecting who would receive the treasured medal on General Robert E. Lee's birthday, the date always chosen by the U.D.C. to present the medal.
The date of the list is September 11, 1901.
It has some valuable information about each veteran in this order:

All of the above names, etc. were typed on a very old typewriter, except for the word "dead" which is written in. There is also a check mark written in by each one of the names. This last name #61 is written in at bottom of list.
61. New, W.C. Carrollton, Ga. Jun? 10th 1862 May 15 1863 Corp? putt? Cherokee Artillery Battery
From the Annie Wheeler Chapter U.D.C. (United Daughters of the Confederacy) Chapter No. 391 Carrollton, Carroll County, Ga. September 11, 1901 Mrs. J. Laurence Caldwell, President
At the bottom of the page is penciled in:
A name illegible possibly Steel (I.Steel, Elery, Heard Co.)
(Nathaniel A. Windsor) McDonald Roop Beall
These are possibly the ones who were chosen to receive the medals because I know that Roop did receive his. The names of McDonald and Beall appear to have a line drawn through them, though not sure if this is only a mark on the paper.
All the names on the list had an "x" beside the number except for these: Steel McDonald Roop Beall and Windsor
At the top of the page is penciled in: January 18, 1900 Gen. R.E. Lee's birthday
I found this old list in a U.D.C. Scrapbook for 1901 in the Special Collections Room of the Neva Lomason Library in Carrollton, Georgia. I have tried my best to copy it all correctly--some was smeared and a little bit hard to read. I am going to give a xeroxed copy of this list to The Sons of the Confederate Veterans in Carroll Co., Ga. in case anyone can't find the scrapbook and wants to see what the original paper looked like. Hope you find an ancestor here!
