Honorable Ransom Gulley
North Carolina bred, Arkansas adopted, was one of Arkansas prominent men - statesman, legislator and State treasurer. He was a member of that great body of men who formulated the 1874 Arkansas constitution. He was a learned man gifted as an orator, and never failed to charm his auditors with his eloquence.
He was known throughout Arkansas as a christian gentleman of the highest and purest type.
He entered the Confederate army in Batesville, Arkansas, early in May 1861, in Desha's 7th Arkansas Battalion of Infantry, and was, at the organization of that Battalion, appointed adjutant thereof, with the rank of first lieutenant, by the lieutenant commanding, Franklin W. Desha, which position he held until May 7 1862, when that battalion, Kelley's battalion, and the 8th Arkansas Infantry, were consolidated with the latter designation. After this service he enter the 36th North Carolina Regiment, which was the 2nd North Carolina heavy artillery.
He was called "Colonel", and appealation given to him in later years by his many warm and loyal friends in recognition of his high standing, and designation most fittingly bestowed.
He exceeded the proverbial allotment of threescore years and ten by twelve years, and all the years of his life were filled with benevolence and urbanity. At the time of his death he was Adjutant General on the staff of the Commander of the Army of the Trans-Mississippi Department, United Confederate Veterans.
He died July 21, 1921, at the residence of his daughter, in Salina, Kansas in perfect resignation to the will of God.
