Our young friend enlisted in Captain Gurney's Company, formed in this place last fall, was detailed as teamster for the Company after the regiment arrived in Kentucky, performed his duty faithfully until about the 8th of February last when he was taken with the measles superinducing pneumonia and a low form of typhoid fever from which he never recovered. He was removed from Belmont to Louisville in May where he received every attention from that noble bank of loyal ladies, who has done so much for our suffering soldiers. He died with a good hope for eternal life. Please to his ashes, honor to his memory, rest to his soul."
