* Interview with Lewis Tiner, published in the Austin Daily Tribune February 8, 1941
This Confederate Veteran was born in Newton, Baker Co, Georgia, September 11, 1843, and remained in that state until the outbreak of the Civil War. He volunteered and left his home with the Second Georgia Cavalry, and was in many of the great battles of the war including New Hope and others, and was with General Lee's Army when it surrendered at Appamatox.
Following the surrender, Mr. Tiner was mustered out at Greensboro, North Carolina, and returned to his home in Georgia. He married Miss Martha B. Kelly, February 6, 1866 and they remained in Georgia until 1872, when he and his wife and two children embarked in an ox wagon, traveling as far as Montgomery, Alabama, where they sold their oxen and wagon and boarded the train for Texas, landing in McDade, Bastrop County. Later they moved to Hill's Prairie, and from there they moved to the place he now calls his home, which is about fifteen miles west of Smithville.
Mrs. Tiner died December 18, 1926.
He died soon after the interview.
