Joseph T. Wynkoop Confederate Vet. Va.
Confederate Veteran mag., July 1919.
JOSEPH THOMAS WYNKOOP
I wish to pay a humble tribute to one of our most esteemed citixens who passed away to his reward on EasterMonday from his home, Woodgrove, Round Hill, Va. He was the son of WILLIAM B. and CATHERINE CLEVELAND WYNKOOP and was born April 15, 1840. The high estimation in which he was held ny his community was attested by the large crowd that attended his funeral and by the beautiful floral tributes that came from all directions. Atouching connection that happened on the anniversary of his wife's death was that it happened on Easter Monday four years ago..
In 1858 he enlisted in a volunteer company under the command of Capt. WELBY CARTER, that went to the scene of JOHN BROWN'S raid. He actually participated in all the great battles of slaughter through which he passed; Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, Second Manasses, Antietam, Gettysburg....He was near STONEWALL JACKSON when he received his fatal wound and was by J.E.B. STUART when he was killed.
As a Christian, as a soldier, as a citizen, as a husband, as a friend and father, long may he be remembered...
James M. Kilgore, Round Hill, Va.
