Tullis - James
Note: I thought he was from here but he lived in Lafayette but was Col. for some of our boys in the CW but since we had him, thought I'd add him but did not put him on the CW page because of not being from Montgomery

Colonel James Tullis, of the Lafayette Courier has been prostrated by "Scrivener's palsy."It first developed in the right wrist and extended to the forearm, which is paralyzed, and this has been followed by a general breaking down of the nervous system. The physician thinks, however, that with rest and care he will be restored to health. - kbz

It was generally believed that the late Col. James Tullis died financially embarrassed, or at least he would have but very little left after his funeral expences were paid. His administrator has found in one of the banks, a package containing three Lafayette city bonds of $1,000 each, which he had placed there nearly 20 years ago for safe keeping. - thanks to Kim H

Lafayette Courier: On September 7 the late Col. James Tullis made application for an increase of pension. A few days later he was taken down with the illness that on September 13 caused his death. Three days after his death Capt. J.B. Shaw forwarded the notice of Mr. Tullis' death to the department. Tuesday Capt. Shaw received an order to notify Col. Tullis to appear before the board of examination. Great is reform. - kbz

Yesterday the soldier boys and their friends in the 9th Congressional District met at Frankfort to shake hands, talk, eat fried chicken and have a good time, and right well they performed their work. The gathering was large, the handshaking cordial, the talking was soul cheering, the eating was done pretty much after the manner of an old soldier after a weary day's march through a plentiful country, and the good time enjoyed was better felt than described. Notwithstanding the unfavorable morning the good people at Frankfort did everything that could be done to make the day one of real pleasure to all. The crowd was estimated at 5,000. Speeches were made by Gen. Manson, Col. Kise, Col. Tullis, Col. Blake, Gen. Spooner, Col. Bringhurst, Major Sayler and Col. Carrington - kbz
