Chap. 277.—An ACT to allow the rosters of duly organized camps of Con-
federate veterans in the cities and counties of the Commonwealth to be
recorded in the clerks’ offices.

Approved March 16, 1910.

Whereas, it has been impossible, in many instances, to obtain rosters
of companies for recordation under and by virtue of an act of the gen-
eral assembly of Virginia, approved February ninth, eighteen hundred
and ninety-eight, entitled an act having for its object the collection, pre-
servation and perpetuation of the names of the soldiers of Virginia who
fought in her defense in the war between the States; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the clerk
of the corporation court of any city or the circuit court of any county in
this Commonwealth, when requested so to do by the duly organized camp
of Confederate veterans located in said city or county, shall admit to
record in the clerk’s office of said city or county a full and complete
roster of said camp, giving the names of the members of said camp from
its beginning, and the company, regiment and battalion or battery to
which each member belonged; also (unless already recorded in his
office) all lists of ex-Confederate soldiers and sailors reported in his city
or county under and pursuant to an act of the general assembly approved
January twenty-fifth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, entitled an act
to provide a roster of all ex-Confederate soldiers living in the State of
Virginia; also to record the name or names of such former residents of
said city or county as enlisted or served in the Confederate army or navy
in another State or county, or who served in said army or navy and died
either in said service or since, stating in each case the rank, company,
regiment or other service of such person or persons, which said roster or
other list of names shall be duly certified as being correct by the com-
mander of said camp, by direction of the camp, with the seal thereof
affixed, duly attested by the adjutant.

2. That the said roster shall be recorded in the record book provided
for by the act of February ninth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight,
mentioned above.

3. That no fee shall be allowed or paid to the clerk for his services.
