Notes:

Lived in Clarke Co. AL in 1830, later moved to Wilcox Co. AL.

Served as a private in Co. B 38th AL Infantry. Each man in Company B enlisted for three years or the war. They enlisted at Lower Peach Tree, Wilcox County, Alabama on March 29, 1862 and were paid a $50 bonus for signing.

James took part in the Battle of Chicamauga. Gen. Braxton Bragg's Confederate Army attacked Gen. William Rosencrans' Union Army forcing a Union retreat to Chattanooga, Tennessee. There were 34,000 total causalties. The 18,000 Confederate losses included 37 men from the 38th Alabama. In addition, 151 soldiers of the 38th were wounded and five were missing.

Missionary Ridge was the site of a major battle in the drive back to Chattanooga. Many members of the 38th Alabama were taken prisoner and sent to Rock Island.
James was captured on Nov. 25, 1863 at Missionary Ridge, TN according to his Civil War military records. On 11 December, 1863 he was received at the military prison in Louisville, KY, and was discharged to Rock Isle IL on 12 Dec. 1863.

James died a prisoner of war at Rock Island, IL, on 21 December 1863 of pneumonia and diarrhea. His buried in grave number 44 south of the prison barracks.

Rock Island Prison, built in 1863, was located on a government-owned island in the Mississippi River between Davenport, Iowa and Moline, Illinois. Over 12,000 Confederates were imprisoned there during the war. These included many 38th Infantry soldiers captured at Missionary Ridge.

The island facilities were converted and built in 1863; they were not yet completed in December of that year, when the first Confederate prisoners were incarcerated. The construction was makeshift. The first prisoners were 468 Confederates captured in battles at Chattanooga, Tennessee. That month more than 5,000 total would swell the population of Rock Island Prison.

Rock Island was not without its problems?ignominious punishments, inadequate facilities, malnutrition, and lack of basic supplies. At one time it was called the "Andersonville of the North." Most died from disease or exposure, as sanitation was primitive as in all army encampments. The prison camp operated from December 1863 until July 1865, when the last prisoners were freed.

From W. R. Kirk's Journal, James was

"was of fair complexion, red hair, blue eyes, about six feet high - had a strong constitution, a little stooped, of an ardent temperament - he had a taste for farming. Was from his boyhood religiously inclined. Left father after he was twenty one years old and commenced business for himself. His first effort was to work on a farm as a hireling at 50 cts per day. Was never stingy, but when he commenced doing business for himself, practiced rigid economy and in a few years had lands and other property to the value of some fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. He married Louisa Yow. He joined the Confederate Army in winter of 1862. Made a good soldier. Was captured at the battle of Missionary Ridge, carried to Rock Island Ill. where he died soon after. He left four children. His widow married J. D. Clark in 1866."

Estelle Kirk New Travelers Aid Director
Spartanburg USO Worker Succeeds Mable Thomas At Center Here

Miss Estelle Kirk, formerly director of the USD-Travelers' Aid at Spartanburg, S. C., has assumed the directorship of the local USD-Travelers Aid here. R. Clarence Williams, chairman of the operating committee of the Travelers' Aid Board, announced yesterday.

Miss Kirk succeeds Miss Mable Thomas, director here for the past two and one-half years, who left this week to accept employment with the International Business Machine Company. A fellow worker with Miss Thomas in Montgomery several years ago, Miss Kirk has been with Travelers' Aid since early in 1942. As a graduate of Birmingham-Southern she began her welfare work in Birmingham where she served three years with the Jefferson County Child Welfare Department and three years with social welfare work. Miss Kirk was a case worker In Montgomery when Miss Thomas entered the organization as a volunteer.

The new director, whose home is in Birmingham, is a graduate of Tulane School of Social Work, a member of the Methodist Church, and a member of Alpha Omega Pi sorority. She is also a member of the American Association of Social Workers.

Serving as director of the Aid office in Spartanburg since October, 1945, Miss Kirk says she already likes Anniston, and "especially the fine organization of my new office." Miss Kirk will be assisted here by Miss Ann Rhoades and Miss Ann Hewett, case workers, and Grace Hawkins, Negro case worker. Although the peak of the Aid work here has been passed, Miss Kirk expects a real need for continued service to exist for some time to come, and the office here will be maintained as long as there is need, she said. The workers provide aid, financial or just room-hunting, aside from travel services, in helping to meet the transients' problems, Miss Kirk said.

Posted by GCI [Grace Communion International] Weekly Update on February 22, 2017

We were saddened to learn of the recent death of James Owen Duke, father of Russell Duke, Vice Chairman of the GCI Board. Russell provided the following tribute to his Dad.

My Dad was born in 1923 and died at age 93. He leaves behind his wife of 71 years, Claire Duke, two sons, Russell and Warren, and one daughter, Kay Overstreet. He was preceded in death by his son Byron. He leaves six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Dad graduated high school in Camden, Alabama, in 1940, and with war raging in Europe, he entered the United States Marine Corps in 1941 at age 17. He was on duty in the radio room at Point Loma, California, when the call came from Pearl Harbor to another desk in the room, reporting the Japanese attack. Over the next four years he served in the South Pacific, landing in Vella Lanella Island and Choiseul Island, where he earned the Bronze Star. He completed his military service in 1946, honorably discharged, with the notation for character of service - Excellent.

In 1954, Dad became a follower of Herbert Armstrong in the Radio Church of God, ordained a deacon and then employed by the then-named Worldwide Church of God in 1969, then ordained an elder in the church, serving as associate pastor in Big Sandy, Texas (1977), then in Anniston, Alabama (1986), lastly in Dallas, Texas (1988), before retiring at age 68 in 1991.

Dad was committed to liberty, risking his very life for his country; committed to love of wife and family; and committed to faith in Jesus Christ, living his whole life for our God. And now he lives on in the hands of the Father, the heart of Jesus Christ, and the breath of the Holy Spirit.
