Janesville Daily Gazette, Monday 15 June 1863
In Newark, of chronic diarrhea, in the 21st year of his age, John H. Teague, late a member of the 22d regiment Wisconsin volunteers.
Although the deceased, instead of perishing amid the scenes of strife and carnage on the field of battle, died at home, surrounded by kind friends and sorrowful kindred, he was no less one of the numerous victims that are daily being sacrificed on the altar of our country.
His death was calm and peaceful, and when in the last hour of reason he was asked if he put his trust in the Savior, his reply was "I do now." Soon after his heart ceased to beat and his breath departed like a bird on its flight.
[John Teague was the bugler for Company B 22nd WI Infantry]
