He enlisted in the Army in 1861 serving in Company K, 13th VA Infantry with Isaac Brady, later they were transferred to the 11th VA Cavalry. They were both captured and jailed at Cumberland, MD. Mr. Brady was sent to Camp Chase, OH and Alf was offered his freedom, but refused to take the oath of allegiance or to remain with the Federals. Mr. Brady’s Father, Samuel D. Brady, who lived near Cumberland went on Whiting’s bond for $6,000.00 in the condition that he would not cross the river into VA during the war.

Lee and 'Stonewall Jackson.' ... Where Robert E. Lee and 'Stonewall’ Jackson have led in the redemption of the Negro through the Sunday-school, the rest of us can afford to follow.”
