By the death of Capt. Niday his
relatives and many personal friends
have sustained an irreparable loss.
Our county loses one OF her best cit
liens, and the public service, a most
faithful and efficient officer. Death
truly found "a shining mark in the
person of this young man. Beloved
by all who knew him, the news of his
death has cast a gloom over our com
munity which plainly tells how highly
he was appreciated
In the fall of 1862. Capt. Niday
commenced to recruit company fer
three years or during the war. AL
.La-un a very young man. without
any military experience, or intiuen-
tial friends, he succeeded in raising
his company TO the maximum num-
ber. and was obliged to refuse many
who offered to join it. His previous
| " well established reputation for
piety, honor and gentlemanly deport-
ment, was a powerful advocate in
his favor. and induced many fathers
and mothers to entrust their sons to
his care. How well he executed this
trust, is seen in the good order and
soldier like bearing of his company.
His men were his brothers in arms;
and whilst maintaining his self re-
spect and demanding from all obedi-
enee to orders, his kind solicitude for
their comfort and happiness was the
cause of their steady devotion aud
love for him as commander.
Thus has fallen another victim to
this terrible rebellion. None more
worthy to live and enjoy long life
in this world, and probably few bet
ter prepared TO enjoy the bliss of the
next His memory will long live in
the hearts Of grateful people, and
as the Spring flowers bloom over his
grave, the grief and anguish of his
loving friends will be soothed by the
reflection, that in all respects he full
filed his mission. and died as he lived
the worthy citizen, conscientious
christian, and devoted patriot.
Peace to his ashesI .,
