Beverly Woodson, student 1862-1863

Woodson enlisted in Captain Allen's Company of the Lunenburg (VA) Light Artillery as a private on January 19, 1864. He was absent without leave in late 1864, but had returned to the company by early 1865. He was paroled at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.

After the war, he returned to Lunenburg County, VA and was a farmer. By 1910, he was living in the Confederate Soldiers Home in Richmond, VA and was still there in 1920.
