This is clearly not the same person.

On the morning of April 2, 1917, when Comrade Thomas H. Maney answered the last roll call, the spirit of a brave soldier, a good citizen, a true man, a refined gentleman, and a sincere Christian passed into that land where love and truth and peace abide forever. He was born July 4, 1841, of a family- ready to stand for their convictions. Coming from Franklin, Tenn., his native town, to Nashville, he became a member of a military company, the Rock City Guards. When the war began, in 1861, he enlisted in the 1st Tennessee Infantry on May 10. He served with distinction, being promoted to the rank of first lieutenant, but he commanded a company as cap tain. From October, 1864, to the end of the war he was a member of Carter's Scouts. He was paroled in May, 1865, having served full four years. He was wounded three times— at Perryville, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge. As a soldier Comrade Maney, by his courage in leading men and by his kindness in caring for them, won their confi dence and love. The spirit of comradeship in his heart led him to join Company B of Confederate Veterans in Nashville, in which he held the office of second lieutenant. For many years he was in business in Nashville, and his integrity and sterling honesty were known and recognized by all of his associates. He was a gentleman of the old school, the soul of honor, with firmness to stand by the right as he saw it. H e was a friend to count on at all times, with that saving sense of humor that sweetens and softens social life. He was for many years a member and a deacon in the Moore Memorial Presbyterian Church and an humble and consistent follower of Jesus Christ. In his home he was a model Christian husband and father. His funeral was attend ed by his comrades of Cheatham Bivouac and Company B. [J. H. McNeilly, D.D.]
