ABOUT THE UDC
Stonewall Cemetery, Winchester, Virginia
Turner Ashby #184 continues the tradition, maintaining the annual
6th of June Memorial Service.  2011 marked the 145th consecutive
service.  But we can't do it alone.  Much appreciation goes out to the
volunteers that help, from the nearly 3,000 flags placed at each grave
and are later taken down, to donations of time, equipment and
money.  Your donation of $10, $25, $50, $100 or more will help us
continue this important tradition for years to come.  Our Confederate
Heroes buried at Stonewall Cemetery deserve the recognition and
honor bestowed upon them  every 6th of June, since 1866.  Donations
may be sent to Turner Ashby #184, in care of Debbie Thomas,
Treasurer, 541 Kimble Road, Berryville, VA  22611.  Thank you for
your generous support!
TURNER ASHBY CHAPTER 184,CHARTERED
NOVEMBER 11, 1897
Besides his incredible rags to riches saga, multiple financial contributions to the cities of
Winchester, Virginia, and New York, New York, and fascinating yet eccentric lifestyle,
Charles "Broadway" Rouss began his military career as a Private in the 12th Virginia
Cavalry before joining the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry (Mosby's Rangers) with a group
of men, led by Captain George Baylor, from the 12th Virginia.  Baylor, Rouss, and a small
group of comrades became the nucleus of the 43rd's Company H.  

It was after the war that Rouss - irreparably altered by all he had experienced --made a
name for himself in business and in the community of Confederate Veterans.

This booklet is a compilation of articles that will afford the reader an opportunity to learn
more about this complex and compelling man.  While the full scope of the Charles
"Broadway" Rouss story is not told here, what follows is fascinating.
