served in that regiment in Virginia until the battle of Gettysburg, where he was taken prisoner, July 1, 1863, in the ambush of Archer's Brigade, he was in a Federal prison until the end of the war. He married Finetta Josephine Daniel, sister of Wiley E. Daniel ,also a member of Company E, and Jack Daniel. The oldest of their ten children, Lemuel Oscar Motlow, replaced Jack Daniel as chief manager and eventually owner of the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg. Felix applied for a veteran's pension from the state after 1891, #8176, and was living in Moore County at the time of application.
His obituary follows:
Mr. Felix (Stump) Motlow, aged 79 years, died at Lynchburg on Thursday, September 6, 1917. During the war between the states he was a member of Turney's First Tennessee Regiment and served the four years in Virginia. He never wavered in his devotion to the Southern cause and like every man that served under him revered Stonewall Jackson. He had a lecture on this famous general that recited many incidents of his career and gave an insight into his character that is not obtained elsewhere. Mr. Motlow was naturally a convincing speaker. The funeral service was conducted by Elds. Little, Hart, and Floyd, burial at Mulberry. He is survived by five sons and three daughters.
