The above named men left the enlisted ranks to accept commissions. The North Carolina files in the Adjutant General's office, Raleigh, contain the names of two other officers from Avery County but these were not searched by the person who volunteered to do the work.

Horton Cooper, an enlisted man, after attending an officer's training school, earned a second lieutenant's commission, but because of the Armistice the commission was not issued.
