Kentucky, 1882. 2 Shares I/C Capital Stock Certificate #21, Black text with black border, small illustration of train at center. VF condition, POCs, and staining at left where counterfoil attached. Issued to and signed by John Echols (1823-1896), who was a general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. After the war, Echols resumed the practice of law in Staunton, Virginia. He helped select the members of the Committee of Nine, a group of state leaders who worked to ensure that the state be readmitted into the Union and former Confederates could once again hold political office. He went on to become president of the Staunton National Valley Bank, and also served as the Receiver and General Manager of the bankrupt Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern Railroad. The back is signed by Echols with the paragraph that the stock certificate is being transferred to C.P. Huntington.
