James Lawrence Daniel, son of James Henry [448], b. 1840.
He enlisted 1861, in Co. B., 19th Va. Reg. Armstead's Brigade,
Pickett's Div., A. P. Hill's Corps. He was killed at the battle of
Malvern Hill. He was Lieutenant in charge of his company, the
battle had been fierce and his men had almost become demoralized,
when he mounted the breastworks with the colors in his hand, attempting
to rally his men, and leading the charge he fell mortally wounded
and died the same day. He was universally loved by his men, and
was as brave a man as ever drew a sword in defence of what he con-
ceived to be right. His remains were taken to Charlottesville and
interred in the cemetery there.
" Earthquakes, whirlwinds, tempests,
Tear the quivering ground ;
Voices, trumpets, thunders,
Fill the air around.
Roar of raging battle ;
Shout, and shriek, and wail,
Startle even the bravest,
Turn the fresh cheek pale."
