Letter from the 6th Heavy Artillery. Fort Simmons, Md., Jan. 10th, 1865. .... afternoon of Wednesday, Jan. 11th. A few hours later, on the same day, died very suddenly, MARTIN P. WESTON, a native of Amherst. The announcement of his death will bring sorrow to the hearts of a large circle of acquaintances and friends, while to that family in which he was an affectionate son, a kind and loving brother, it will be a blow the grief of which time alone will soften. The few short months of his association with this company had endeared him to his comrades, and his character as a soldier earnest to do his duty, as a friend ever ready to oblige a brother, will cause his memory to be long kept green in the hearts of the members of company F. Mr. W.'s disease was congestion of the lungs, and until the day previous to his death no fears were entertained in regard to his recovery. ... The bodies of our late comrades have been embalmed at the company's expense and forwarded to their friends. Yours, &c, C.H.S. [The Farmers' Cabinet, 20 Jan 1865, p. 2]
