John
E. Harding
In
the death of John Emory Harding, of Northumberland
county, Va., another of our veterans of that
incomparable body of men, the glorious cavalry of
Northern Virginia, has gone to join the great
majority “over there.”
John E. Harding was the
son of James Harding, Sr., and was reared at their
beautiful home, La Grange, in Northumberland
County. He joined the Confederate army in 1861 and
followed Lee and Jackson through the entire war,
surrendering at Appomattox. Returning home, he
married Miss Laura Hughlett, an elegant Southern
woman. He died at his home on January 21, 1922,
after a long illness, and is survived by his
devoted wife, fours sons and four
daughters.
John Emory Harding and his brother
James O. Harding belonged to the 9th Virginia
Cavalry, Company D. No truer, better, or braver
soldiers ever took up arms in defense of their
beloved Southland; no sacrifice was too great for
them to make.

Mrs. Edgar Blackwell, Mrs. R. B. Brown, Wiconico
