Lucius E. Barrow, student 1861-1862

Barrow enlisted in Captain Allen's Company, the Lunenburg Artillery, on August 30, 1862. He was furloughed in September 1863 due to General Debility caused by recurring fever. He was paroled at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. His first name on some military records was improperly transcribed as "Lavewers E Barrow."

After the war, he returned to Nottoway County where he was a farmer in 1870. Sometime before 1907 he had moved to Cleburne, TX, when he appears as a business owner in city directories and where he was an abstracter of land titles in the 1910 census. Barrow died May 8, 1915 and is buried in Cleburne Memorial Cemetery.
