A Tribute to Albert Small by David Mitchell Small

The following data is extracted from David and Margaret Mitchell Genealogy.

My father always provided well for his family. During the Civil War, he staid at home and his father went in his place; my father having such a large family, this plan was thought the best. My father helped at home to gather recruits, and I remember of his telling of his numerous narrow escapes from the opposition. He was always one of the leading men in the church (U. P.) The 23d psalm was his favorite and he said that when he died he wanted us to repeat that psalm. When he died, you could almost see his soul leave the body and go up to heaven. A prayer for his wife's and his' children's welfare, and that the Lord would receive his soul, were his last thoughts.
