Confederate Veteran mag., dated August, 1930, page 315.
On the 21st of May, SAMUEL SIMPSON NASH died at Tarboro, N.C., and was buried in Calvary Churchyard there.
He was born on Easter Day, April 23, 1848 in Hillsboro, N.C. At the age of 16 he enlisted in the 27th North Carolina Infantry, Cooke's Brigade, A.N.V. At the breaking of the Confederate lines at Petersburg, he was captured and was imprisoned in Point Lookout till the summer of sixty-five.
In 1878 he came to Tarboro and married MISS ANNIE GRAY CHESHIRE, daughter of the REV. Joseph Blount Cheshire, D.D., and sister of the present senior Bishop of N.C. He was engaged in business in Tarboro until time of his death, being for many years manager of the local Building and Loan Assoc.
It is difficult to describe adequately the beauty, the wonder of his Christian life. ...it would be safe to say that no clergyman of any church ever did more actual work in the saving of souls and the guiding of men and women in the Christian life, working under no other obligation to do this work than his love for God and man.
He attended every Confederate reunion for many years and had been looking forward to going to Biloxi but God granted him an even more joyful reunion with the great majority of his comrades and his majestic leader, LEE, in Paradise.
His funeral was the most largely attended of any that ever took place in the county.
Rev. Bertram E. Brown
