Fifty years ago Wednesday, Clay county offered its first sacrifice for the Confederacy in the death of Albert Withers, brother of Ed and the late Conn Withers, which occurred in the battle of Carthage. Mr. Withers was killed about 10 o'clock in the morning on that day following several hours of a very fierce engagement. No other Clay countian was even hurt in that battle, nor had one been injured in the seeveral months the company had been in the field.
