"PLACED WREATH ON REBEL GRAVE
"Local Grand Army Men Decorate the Last Resting Place of a Confederate Soldier
"That time heals all wounds and that the boys who carried the Stars and Stripes in '61 have long since ceased to regard as enemies those who carried the Stars and Bars, was very beautifully illustrated on Memorial Day afternoon when a committee of Grand Army men from Post 62 visited Rose Hill cemetery, for the purpose of decorating the graves of the veterans of the Union army and navy buried there.
Sleeping beneath a simply stone in that cemetery is John Gaines, for many years a prominent resident of this city and, who, during the great rebellion, wore the grey, he being one of Lee's men.
When the committee of the Grand Army men made the rounds of the graves there on Monday, Comrade D.E. Edwards, while the rest stood at attention about the little grave, stooped and reverently place a marker and a wreath of flowers on the mound, remembering only that the body interred there was that of a soldier, who fought for what he thought was right, and not that he had fought against the cause they had fought to uphold.
Mr. Gaines, who died February 28 this year was the only Confederate soldier buried here whose grave the Grand Army men knew, though there was another who died many years ago, a former milk dealer in the city."

William H. Shomo 1823 - 1909 obituary
William H. Shomo
At half past 2 o’clock on last Sunday afternoon, February 21, 1909 Mr. William H. Shomo departed this life at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Isaac Price on the James Spitzer farm, three miles northeast of New Market, Va.; aged 86 yrs. 9 mths. and 10 days. As recorded in the Valley at the time, about five weeks ago, Mr. Shomo accidentally slipped, fell and broke his left thigh-bone and dislocated his hip which injuries no doubt hastened his death. His remains were conveyed Tuesday to Newport, Page County and interred in the graveyard, Rev. Edward French officiating in the Christian Church. The following persons accompanied the remains: Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Price, three sons and one daughter; and Mrs. Anna Breedlove of Fishersville, Va. In addition to his daughters Mrs. Price and Mrs. Breedlove , the following of his other children also attended the funeral; Mr. Samuel Shomo, Mrs, Nannie Bluehart, and Mrs. Minnie Alger of Newport, Va. And Mrs. Rebecca Propst of Shenandoah, Va. Distance prevented his other children from attending the funeral, namely, Mrs. Sarah Fox of Arkansas; Mrs. Catherine Gaines of Altoona, Pa.; and Mr. John Wm. Shomo of Low Moor, Va.
The deceased was the son of Mr. Daniel & Dianna Reamer Shomo, and was born and reared in New Market, Va. When quite a young man he removed to Newport, Page County, Va. Where he carried on blacksmithing for sixty-three years. He married Miss Frances Louderback, soon after locating in that section. He was a member of the Christian Church, an industrious and useful citizen whose death will be mourned by a large number of relatives, friends and acquaintances.
Mr. Shomo spent the last seven years of his life in this locality, having moved into our midst several years after his wife Frances' death.
