Robert was the second member lost out of his family. He died at Manchester, Va., 10th May 1862 from disease aggravated by camp life. He would have volunteered when Thomas his brother did, but being in bad health he remained at home for a few months, but became dissatisfied to stay at home while his country called for help, he entered the service, but his health grew worse until death put an end to his suffering. Robert was a member of the Baptist Church at Mountain Creek in this District, and lived a christen life. He was amiable in his disposition and unassuming in his manners; he was trustworthy, and in a word, a gentleman and a Christian.
Son of Joseph K and Mary Aiton - Member of Co. C, 19th SCVI
These boys lie buried in strange lands (with many others of our sunny South) but angels watch them till God shall bid them rise. They leave a father and mother, one brother, and many who loved them, to grieve, but not without hope.
