      CTGS Fall 2001, Early Waco Obituaries, p. 94.

      Served in the C.S.A.
      Abner m. WOMACK,
      McGregor, Texas - Born Oct. 19, 1838, at McMinnville, Tenn. Enlisted in the Confederate Army in March, 1861, at McMinnville, as a private in Company A, Sixteenth Tennessee Infantry, Zollicoffer's Brigade, Cheatham's Division, Hardee's Corps, Army of Tennessee. Thomas B. Murray, first Captain, and J. H. Savage, first Colonel. I was first in the Virginia and then in the Tennessee Army.
      Was wounded at the battle of Perryville, Ky., a flesh wound in the right arm. I was left in the hospital at Harrodsburg, and fell into the enemy's hands and, when able to travel, was taken to Vicksburg and exchanged. Was a non-commissioned officer after the first year of the war. Perryville, Ky., was the only hard battle that I was in, but was in many lively skirmishes in West Virginia and Mississippi. I was in prison at McMinnville, Tenn., for two or three weeks and was sent to Nashville, and would have been sent to the Northern prison but for friends in McMinnville who were Union men and sent a petition for my release. After my release I went home and have been true to my oath, but was never convinced that we were not right.

      Hi,

      Does anyone connect to an A. Womack who died in Waco, McLennan Co., TX in

      Brothers were Jack Womack and Judge Marion Womack. Also he had a
      brother Dr. Arsey Womack of Nashville, TN.

      If anyone connects will try to copy more of the info for you. This
      appeared in the Quarterly of the Central TX Gen. Soc.

      Hope to hear from someone. Mary Ross
