DECEMBER 22, 1864.

Tuesday, the nineteenth of the month, I attended Floyd Glass's

wedding. She was married in the morning to Lieutenant Doroughty. She

expected to have been married the week after the Yankees came, but her

groom was not able to get here. Some of the Yankees found out in some

way that she was to have been married, and annoyed her considerably by

telling her that they had taken her sweetheart prisoner; that when he

got off the train at the Circle they took him and, some said, shot

him.

The Yankees found Mrs. Glass's china and glassware that she had buried

in a box, broke it all up, and then sent her word that she would set

no more fine tables. They also got Mrs. Perry's silver.
