      4. Quoting from Edmond’s Obituary – 11/2/1929 – "Edmond Caudle died … at his home about one mile east of Peachland, after a long period of declining health. He had been confined to his bed for many months…. Mr. Caudle was 89 and a half years old. His long life was useful and well spent, and he had the highest esteem of all who knew him.

      Mr. Caudle was a son of Richard Caudle, and in early manhood he was married to Miss Margaret Covington [the article states "Redfearn" in error], who died in 1913. He is survived by four sons … and by several grand-children. This family is most dutiful. Their mother was an invalid for several years before her death, and the service rendered to her, as well as that rendered to their father in his long illness, was beautiful.

      Mr. Caudle was a faithful and loyal Confederate soldier for four years, and later was as faithful in all the relations of life as he was as a soldier. He was a loyal member of Lawyers Spring Primitive Baptist Church, and died in the triumph of the Christian faith. He was the last surviving member of Company K, 43rd N.C. Regiment, which was organized here in the early days of the Civil War by Captain James Boggan.

      The funeral was held at the Caudle home Sunday afternoon by Elder J.R. Wilson, and the body was laid to rest by the side of his wife in Covington cemetery [Caudle-Covington Cemetery]. The high esteem in which Mr. Caudle and his family were held was manifested by the large concourse of people present at the services and by the mound of beautiful flowers that covered the graves.

      The pall bearers were C.P. Griffin, E.C. Jones, J.C. Caudle, James C. Beeman, J.B. Covington, and H.M. Baucom."
