Vincent W. Haizlip, whose death occurred on May 19, 1914 was born in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia January 7, 1836,  At the outbreak of the War Between the States, he was in the prime of young manhood, with a wife and two children.  In May 1861 he enlisted in Company G, 21st North Carolina troops and served in all the principal campaigns and engagements in which the Army of Northern Virginia took part up to the second battle of Manassas, where he was twice wounded.
From a private he rose to a first lieutenant and was commanding his company when he fell severely wounded.  At the same time fell also his major, Saunders Fulton.
Comrade Haizlip was off duty about a year on account of his wounds, but again entered the service in 1863 as a member of Company H, 2nd North Carolina Cavalry, commanded by William Henry Lee, son of General R.E. Lee and served as an officer in this command until the surrender.  At the close of the war, he returned to his desolated home.  Like many another, broken in fortune, he turned his footsteps to the undeveloped West,  With his wife and children, he began anew in Illinois.  Success crowned his honest efforts but there was little room for a veteran of the Stars and Bars in that state.
After a residence of 7 years, he moved to Texas in 1873 and located in Grayson Co., where he had resided continuously since.
He was married 4 times.  The 12 children of the first 3 wives survive him, with the last wife, who was faithful and devoted in his long illness.
