It is believed that the youngest Confederate veteran, living or dead, participated in the parade yesterday [in honor of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s birthday].

He was Captain W.L. Harlow, who entered the Confederate army at the age of 12 years, with his father, the late W.S. Harlow. He was much under the age limit for enlistment, but his mother being dead, his father carried him into the army so as to have him under his watchcare.

He saw his first service during the "Seven Days Fight" around Richmond, and was in the Maryland campaign, was at Sharpsburg and Gettysburg.
