General Notes:
HENRY GOODRIDGE SPEED
Private, 1st North Carolina Cavalry
Henry Goodridge Speed, youngest son of John Joseph, and Anna
Strachan Speed, was born at Roseland, Granville County, North
Carolina, August 19, 1845.
He received his primary education at the "Belmont Select
School", and in 1862 entered as a cadet the Virginia Military
Institute. The writer of this notice, then on his way to the
Institute, met SPEED for the first time at Lynchburg, and
traveled with him, and many others who were hastening to become
"Rats", to Lexington.
SPEED was the life of and soul of the party, ready and anxious
for any adventure which promised fun and amusement, and
provided there was a little danger so much the better.
When he arrived at Lexington, as a matter of course we became
legitimate prey for the old cadets; many of whom imagining that
a residence of twelve months at the Virginia Military Institute
supplied all deficiencies of mother wit, would, upon the
announcement of the arrival of a new cadet, immediatley proceed
to his quarters to amuse themselves with his greeness.
Many of those who came to SPEED on this occasion for wool went
away shorn. So brilliant were his repartees, and so confounded
his would-be tormentors at having tables turned upon them in
this unexpected and unprecedented manner, that we, his more
timid comrades, escaped with comparatively slight punishment.
He became at once a universal favorite, and when, at the end of
a year, he severed his connection with the Institute, there was
not a man in the battalion who was not distressed at his going.
After leaving Lexington, he joined the 3d Virginia Cavalry, and
in the spring of 1864 was transferred to the 1st North Carolina
Cavalry.
On the 21st of August 1864, in an engagement at Poplar Spring
Church, near the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad, he received
a shrapnel-shot in his heart, and his spirit took its flight
for the happy mansions prepared by a kind and merciful Father
for those who die in defense of the Right and of Truth.
One of his last acts is illustrative of his character; his
application for leave of absence had been approved, and he was
preparing to visit his friends and relations at home, when a
comrade received information that his wife was at death's door,
urging him to come at once if he would see her alive.
SPEED, with his usual generosity, immediatly gave his furlough
to his comrade, and it was whilst serving in this comrade's
stant that he met his death; thus crowning a life of honor and
nobility with an act of which an angel might be proud.
He was recommended for promotion, but was killed before he
could receive the fruits of his gallant conduct on many a
hard-fought battle field.
Three bosom friends left the virginia Military Institute
together, gallant, noble, chivalrous. Charlie Haigh died
leading his regiment to victory at the battle of the
Wilderness; his peer, Gardner McCance, manfully serving at his
piece, sank to rise no more, and HENRY SPEED, whilst serving
for a friend, received a bullet through his heart.
Freely, cheerfully, and without a murmur, gave they their lives
for what thought the "right".
In the veins of Henry Goodridge Speed there mingled some of the
best blood of Virginia and North Carolina, and who can say that
his ancestors were not honored by their descendant? Had it been
the wish of his Almighty Father that he should have lived a
longer life, the man would have proven worthy of the youth.
Peace be to thy ashes, noble, generous Henry Speed, no truer
knight ever buckled on armor or laid lance in rest than thou;
long will it be ere the flowers of our dear Southern clan cease
to bloom o'er thy grave; and long, long will it be ere thy
virtues are forgotten by thy friends.
