Robert Cooper aka Bob Pardue

Robert Cooper "Bob" Pardue Born in 1839 and Died 23 December 1910
 

Robert Cooper "Bob" Pardue was born in 1839 in Montgomery County, Tennessee to John Pardue and Sarah Pardue, nee Gupton.  He enlisted in the Army of the Confederate States of America in July 1861 as a private in "The Ashland City Guards" of the 18th Tennessee Infantry.  He was discharged on account of disability by October 1861 as shown on papers of the 18th Tennessee Infantry. It is not presently known what that disability was.

A story, as told to one of his grandchildren, tells of an instance, before his discharge, of his being separated from his company and found himself in close presence of Union soldiers, whereby "he hid himself in a fallen hollow log until the soldiers had passed.  He said that his heart was pounding so hard that he was sure the soldiers were going to hear it and find him out. That he had never been so scared in all of his life". Fortunately for him, they passed on by and when he felt it was safe he found his way back and rejoined his company. He died in Henrietta, Cheatham County, Tennessee on 23rd of December 1910.
