CAPTAIN CSA
Company K Vet Res Corps
Civil War Confederate
September 7, 1736 - October 9, 1914
Last Friday at his home, seven miles southeast of Paducah, Capt. F.W. Liedtke passed into that wakeless sleep, free from all care and weariness. Capt. Liedtke came to America in 1856. He served in a Pennsylvania regiment during the Civil War and afterward moved to Nebraska, from which state he moved to Texas. He came to Cottle County in 1888 and lived in this county until he died. In the early days, Captain Liedtke was legal adviser, justice of the peace, and abstractor for this entire section. He enjoyed being the best-informed man along these lines in Cottle County, and in this part of Texas. He was a man of the highest ideals and noblest principles. He believed in living and let live, and his acts of charity and kindness are too numerous to mention. A wife, loving sons, and daughters survive this honored citizen. His influence lives over this entire country every day.
