James Madison Shirley

James was married and had three children when he was in the Confederate Army in the Civil War. He and another soldier became very hungry while on patrol duty. They came to a farm house that had a lot of bees and decided they would rob one of the hives. James opened the lid and got some honey. The bees stung him so bad his arm was swollen double in size by the time they got back to camp. They told the officer that he had injured his arm. He was given leave to go home until his arm was better. The story goes that this is when his wife became pregnant with James Madison Shirley, Jr.

He was in the Battle of Vicksburg Mississippi. When the war was over and he was headed for home, there was no food to be had anywhere. He came to a small stream and could see where the deer had been crossing. He climbed into a tree just above the trail and waited until a deer came by. With only a knife as a weapon, he jumped on the deer. He had deer for super but he would laugh and tell how he didn't have a stitch of clothes on when the battle was over.
