On Friday, March 4, 1898, the Winston County Journal published a newspaper article submitted by Judge H. Cornwell. Cornwell had sent the Journal a clipping from the Lousiville paper, published in 1861, which contained a list of the officers and men that comprised the Winston Guards. Some of the men were original Guards members; other came a few months later as "recruit to their ranks". Cornwell, himself, was one of the original Guards. In his 1898 article, he writes:
In scanning over the roll of names of this grand old company, after all these years that have intervened, the past rises up before me like a dream.---Again we are boys one more full of high hopes and fond expectations. Again, we are in the great struggle for Southern independence.
