He lived in Tennessee during the earlier days and when the Civil War broke out enlisted in the Confederate Army and served one year, when he deserted and joined the Union Army and served until the close of the war. After the war he came to Marysville, Union County, OH., from thence he removed to Alexandria, Licking Co. In 1865 he married Abigal White, two children were born to this union. William and Belle. After the death of his first wife in 1878 he married Mrs. Nancy Skinner in 1884. Mr. Birdsong was member of the Baptist Church for 18 years. He was a man of upright life, a good citizen and a faithful Christian. Owing to the difficulty in reaching his son, Wm., in Tennessee by telegram he was not able to reach here in time to attend the funeral. His death has taken one more from the ranks of the boys in blue and those that are left are getting more stooped, their hair turning snowy white. Their race will soon be run and they will be laid beside their comrades in the city of the dead, but the principle they fought for and services they rendered their country will live on through the ages.
