Captain Toomer's Co. Local Defense
CHUNCHULA GUARDS


The "Chunchula Guards" were enlisted August 15, 1863 for "the War". The company was reorganized August 8, 1864 with men of conscript age and renamed Company G, 4th Alabama Reserves.


Muster - August 15, 1863 to April 16, 1864:

March 1864 - Arrested & delivered over to Major W.M. Stone in Mobile one deserter and ten conscripts.

April 1864 - The company in force proceeded west of the Mobile and Ohio railroad and scoured eight mile and big creek swamps for some twenty five miles for deserters. We visited the families of some twelve notorious characters (deserters). Their families & themselves are leagued together with others & have regular signals to warn of danger & the swamps being so dense that a few minutes warning gives them a secret hiding place. They might be caught with good trained dogs which we are trying to obtain.
