Newspaper article) Capt John Edmond "J E" Hames Killed at Second Battle of Manassas, Buried at Gilead Cemetery, Jonesville, SC SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF CAPT. JOHN E. HAMES (Written by Miss Mayme Jeffries) Capt. John Hames, the second son of Lemuel Hames and Nancy Jones Hames, was born near Jonesville, Oct. 23, 1836. He was a bright, studious boy and, we are told, was very fond of music. He acquired the best education possible that the country schools of that day afforded. He grew to young manhood with every promise of becoming a useful citizen. On December 9, 1858, he was married to Miss Amanda Eison, the beautiful daughter of Mr. F. W. Eison. Of this union two children were born. One died in infancy, the other child is Miss Anna Hames of Janesville. When the sound of war was heard in the South, calls for volunteers were made to defend the homeland from a tyrant enemy. True to the instincts of a noble nature, he felt as all true men did, that he must fight for the liberty and rights of his country and State and home; that he must leave his quiet happy home life to defend his country's honor. He volunteered in June, 1861, and with the patriotic Pea Ridge Company, 5th S. C. Regiment, under the gallant Col. Micah Jenkins, he left for Virginia. Soon, however, on account of ill health, he was compelled to return home. Shortly afterwards a company, known as Company B, was formed of the young men of the neighborhood. John Hames was elected 2nd lieutenant. This Company B, 18th reigment was sent to Charleston, where it did good service defending the coast. On May 3, 1862, the 18th regiment was reorganized. Lieutenant Hames, on account of his brave spirit and general popularity, was chosen captain at Camp Guerin near Charleston, SC. The regiment was ordered to Virginia, where he and his company fought bravely in many skirmishes, among them Brand Station. He was in the battle of Malvern Hill, where the enemy was badly defeated. On that memorable day, August 30, 1862, occured what history is pleased to call one of the greatest battles of the world. Then it was that the Southern patriots faced for a second time the Northern army on this gory field of Manassas. The 18th regiment, with its gallant Capt. Hames, under the command of the brave Gen. Evans, was in its place on the battlefield, Here was waged a fierce battle and when it was over the South had yielded many of her noble sons on the altar of sacrifice, and their life blood poured out for the victory. No truer, braver spirits yielded up their lives for a country 1s freedom than did the noble sons of the South. Among the number was Capt. John E. Hames. His brother, First Sergeant Charles Hames, fell also. At the time both were buried in the same grave, but later their bodies were brought home by Mr. T. J. Foster, and Mr. N. B. Eison and interment was made at Gilead cemetery, Jonesville, S.C.
