On June 16, 1859, she married her half second cousin, William Deaderick Van Dyke, a prominent lawyer of Chattanooga, Tennessee, who was a son of Chancellor Thomas Nixon Van Dyke, a lawyer at Athens, Tennessee. (See page 94). Mrs. Van Dyke was active in the original organization of the United Confederate Daughters, being its third president, and one of the charter members of the A. P. Stewart Chapter.

JAMES GALITZEN, the fourth child of Judge James W., and Adeline (McDowell) Deaderick, was born April 25, 1838. He was elected third lieutenant of Company B of the Nineteenth Infantry of the Confederate army. This company camped on the east bank of the river at Loudon, Tennessee, and saw its first service guarding the Loudon bridge. He was orderly-sergeant in Captain Z. T. Willett's company and furnished a list of the company, as it was first organized in Jonesboro, in June 1861, to the Jonesboro Express. James G. Deaderick reached the rank of lieutenant-colonel of his regiment. His commission as major

general was on the way to him when the war ended. He was a law partner of his father at Bristol until Judge Deaderick was elected to the Supreme bench, and then he returned to Jonesboro where he practiced his profession until the death of his father. He then removed to Santa Barbara, California, where he owned and English-walnut ranch. He had married Lizzie Sayers, Sept. 30, 1868, and died June 17, 1918. Their children are 1.

DAVID FRANKLIN, the fifth child of Judge James W., and Adeline (McDowell) Deaderick, was born June 16, 1840, near Jonesboro. He entered the Confederate army as a private and fought in battles near Knoxville where for a time he was a prisoner of war in the Knoxville jail. He made an enviable record in the war; reaching the rank of lieutenant of Company F, Thirty-fourth Virginia Cavalry, and commanded the company after a short time in the service, the captain having lost his voice. He was wounded in the battle of Limestone Gap, was taken prisoner three times, and was released once in exchange. He was made chairman at a Democratic State Convention at Chattanooga, Tennessee. On August 4, 1860, he married Nannie, daughter of Colonel James G. Haynes of Washington County, Tennessee, and a cousin of Landon C. Haynes. They removed to Quincy, Illinois, soon after the war, in fact, on the date that marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of his birth. Here he was a commission merchant and bought wheat for a big western mill. He was considered an expert in his line.

He was elected alderman in 1876 of the third ward on the Democratic ticket. He was twice elected mayor of Quincy. In 1893 he was appointed by Governor Altegeld as grain inspector. He also served a term as chairman of the board of public works of that city. He died February 18, 1899. Nannie J. (Haynes) Deaderick died in August 1915. Among his friends Frank Deaderick was known as "Colonel" Deaderick. "He was a typical southern gentleman, one of the old school and rare old. stock. His commanding military-like figure, benign face, and gracious demeanor were subjects of general admiration." Seven children were born to Frank and Nannie (Haynes) Deaderick. 1. Anna Mary, who married Thomas A. Cleage of Chattanooga, and whose children are Thomas Deaderick, who married Eva Marguerite Fanner (he was not in the World War as the government required the output of his oil wells and refineries); Van Dyke, who was in the army at Camp Funston during the World War; Edith, who died at the age of thirty-two; Nell, who married Thomas Gibson Browne, and whose children are Deaderick Gibson and Thomas Randolph. 2.

WILLIAM WALLACE, the sixth child of Judge James W., and Adeline (McDowell) Deaderick, was born August 4, 1842, in Boyle County Kentucky. He was a lawyer. He enlisted in Knoxville in the Confederate army on his birthday August 4, 1861, at the age of nineteen, in the Thirty-seventh Tennessee Infantry, and at the time of his enlistment was made sergeant of his company. Wallace Deaderick was afterwards made a lieutenant; and at the battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was severely wounded in the left arm. The losses were so terrible in this battle that both armies remained inactive for months. He was also in the engagements of Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, and Chickamauga. Among his friends he was known as Captain Deaderick. After the war he removed to Falmouth, Kentucky, where he practiced his profession, and became a member of the State Assembly. He was at one time county judge at Falmouth. Here he married Sallie Hardin, as shown by the following item from the Annals of Kentucky: "1873, March 11-House of Representatives pass a resolution to adjourn at 2 P. M. and march in procession to the Episcopal church to attend the nuptial ceremonies of Hon. W. W. Deaderick, member of the house from Pendleton Co. (to Miss Sallie Hardin, daughter of Mordicai R. Hardin, now chief justice of the court of appeals.)" William Wallace Deaderick died March 10, 1913; and Sarah (Hardin) Deaderick on January 18, 1911. Their children are 1. Sallie Hardin, who married Dr. William Robert Ure of Saginaw, Michigan; 2. Mary Green, who married Edwin McQuarters of Orlando, Florida, and who died September 17, 1930; 3. Robert Hardin, who married Nettie Moore Montgomery, and whose children are Sarah Hardin and Lou Montgomery, twins, and Robert Hardin Jr.; 4.

ALFRED SHELBY, the seventh son of Judge James W., and Adeline (McDowell) Deaderick, was born at Jonesboro, September 16, 1846. When but fifteen years of age he ran away and enlisted in the Confederate army. On his father's going to headquarters and explaining that Alfred was only a boy, the authorities released him. A few months later, however, when he was sixteen, he ran away again and enlisted as a

private in the infantry service belonging to Company F of the Thirtyseventh Tennessee, and this time he was allowed to remain. Arthur Deaderick, while in his brother James' company, saw him one day, ragged and dirty with a corn-cob pipe in his mouth. He reported him to James, who sent him home. After Bragg's Campaign in Kentucky and the return of the army to Middle Tennessee, he was discharged, but early in 1863 he again entered the service as second lieutenant of Captain R. C. Brown's company. He was with Witcher's Virginia Brigade. Within two years of his enlistment his captain was killed and Alfred Deaderick succeeded to the command of the Company. Among friends he was generally known as "Captain" Deaderick, though he was not, in fact, commissioned a captain, but he commanded this company of cavalry to the close of the war. Captain Browne was disabled and retired, and Lieutenant Crouch, the first lieutenant had been captured and imprisoned at Johnson Island, but through regard for his friend Captain Crouch, Alfred Deaderick declined promotion. In May 1865 he was paroled by General Sherman. Although he always took a lively interest in politics, Alfred Deaderick never sought political preferment. In politics he was a democrat. For several years he was a member of the state executive convention. Immediately upon the close of the war he removed to Baltimore, and for three years was engaged in business. In 1868, he returned to Knoxville where he entered the law office of his father. In 1870 he was licensed to practice law. For two years he lived at Bristol, but the rest of his life he spent at Jonesboro. He was a tall handsome man of commanding appearance, a lawyer of marked ability, and stood at the head of the legal profession at Jonesboro for many years. On February 12, 1877, he married Carter Woodville Luster of Virginia. He died while attending a law suit on May 21, 1907. At a meeting of the State Bar Association at Memphis beautiful tribute was paid to the memory of Captain Deaderick. It was said of him that in the South he had no superior as an orator. He was "and old fashioned Southern gentleman, courteous as a Chesterfield, chivalrous as a knight, gentle as a little child, and tender as a woman.' Mrs. Deaderick died April 2, 1932. Seven children were born to Captain Alfred and Carter (Luster) Deaderick: 1. Kate Virginia, who married Edwin Bartlett of Lexington, Kentucky, and whose only child is Dorothy; 2. Lucille Clifton, who married J. Allan Belvin of Richmond, Virginia, and whose children are Virginia, who married Vaugh Penn of New York, and whose child is Virginia Belvin; and Marjorie; 3. Adelyn McDowell; 4. James William, who died at the age of six; 5. Day Von Albade, who married the Rev. Alexander Hunt Doak, and whose children are Alfred Deaderick, Janet, and Adelyn Elizabeth; 6. Edwin Van Dyke, who died young; 7. Phyllis Evelyn, who married James Lawrence Meem, and whose children are Phyllis and James Lawrence, Jr.
