Read More	Winston Jennings Eaddy was born at Rheims, South Carolina on July 14, 1901,the son of Gregory Beauregard and Louise Burdette (Huggins) Eaddy. He died at Fort Clark, Texas, August 13, 1925 at the age of 24 years. His death was the result of a training accident. He was exercising a friend's horse when it refused to jump, reared, and fell backward upon him. He died instantly. Winston graduated from Hemingway High School, Hemingway, SC, in 1917. In the Fall of 1918, he entered the Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina and completed one year. He was given an appointment to the U. S. Military Academy in 1919 where he spent four years graduating with honors in the class of 1923. It should be noted that throughout his entire school life he led his class and was many times exempted from examinations as a result of his achievement. A career as a soldier was his choice and he could not be persuaded otherwise. He graduated from West Point and chose the Cavalry as his branch of service. His first assignment was at Fort Clark, Texas where he remained until his untimely end. This tragic accident ended the life of a fine officer and Christian gentleman. He was a quiet, reserved, yet brilliant, and lovable person. When he was a boy of about twelve years, he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It seemed unlikely that the quiet, reserved, lovable boy should have but one desire as his life work, namely to be a soldier. Three of his cousins were graduates of West Point; namely, Brigadier General John H. Woodberry, Class of 1914, Lieutenant Colonel David Lemuel Woodberry, I., Class unknown, and Lieutenant Marion Huggins of the Class of 1927 also saw duty in the armed services. Love of military service runs deep for those in the Eaddy family. They have had many excellent role models to emulate.
