He Was In Fifteen Battles.

The veteran who went through fifteen of the principal battles of the war and was never known to falter in his duty when in the front rank or the back, and who can attend the eighth annual reunion of confederate veterans and have enough of his frame left to walk around, is a sight worth seeing. There are numbers of veterans who have experienced more hard-fought conflicts than they can count on their hands, but Paulding county, Georgia, sent a veteran who experienced in the front of battle fifteen engagements, not to mention a score of skirmishes. T.J. Tibbetts, one of the best known citizens of Paulding, arrived in Atlanta the first part of the week with the large delegation from his county, and is seen in the hotel lobbies, the center of interested groups of visitors. he was at Seven Pines, Mechanicsville, Gaines’s mill, Malvern hill, Fravers’s farm, Cedar Run, Manassas, Harper’s ferry, Shepardstown, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness and Spotsylvania. In the last named engagement he was seriously wounded, and remained out of the service until the end of the war.
