RR80

USA #26 tied by a partial strike of the Wartrace N & C RR (Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad) oval postmark 10 JUN 1861. A second strike of the same railroad postmark is at the left. Tennessee Independent State posted two days after secession to Confederate Mississippi. Addressed to Mr Lucien A. Webster, Holmes County, Mississippi. The Wartrace railroad postmark used after secession during this period is listed in the CSA Catalog as "Unsupported." This cover certainly supports the listing. Small cover with part of top back flap missing and minor top edge repairs. Very clean cover. Ex-Hannen CSA Railroad Collection. Lucien (Lucian) Anderson Webster (1829-1895) of Holmes County, Mississippi, is listed as a farmer on the Federal Census of 1860. He enlisted as a private in Co K 29th Miss Inf  3/1/1862. The 29th Miss Inf was a Western Theater unit. No details available on his wartime service. After the war, he returned to farming in Holmes County, Mississippi, and later relocated to Arkansas where he died in 1895.
