TAGGART.-In this village, July 9th, 1884,
John Taggalt, at the house of his sister, Mrs L. |
W. Carlisle, aged p years, II months and 70 |
days.
Again has the Death Angel drawn his bow and |
sent his arrow of destruction TO the heart of one |
of earth's noble sons. The deceased was young /
man of great promise. With heart full of love |
for his country, he was among the first TO respond
to the nations call for troops. Enrolled with the
Middlebury company, he entered the First YER |
mont regiment and served faithfully during his |
term of three months. On his journey home |
he contracted cold which rendered him unfit |
for business for long time; but unwilling to sit
idle, while the country was in peril, as soon he
was able he again enlisted a recruit, and was
assigned TO the 9th vt. regiment, but his health
soon failed, and after numbe- of weeks spent in
hospital, he given discharge and came to
his home in Ferrisburg, Vt, where loving h. nds
were glad to administer to his wants. He was
among the number drafted in 1868, but was re-
jected by the Surgeon on account of physical in
ability. Tired OF inactivity he went CONTRARY to
medical advice1 in August 1853 to Alexandra,
where he readily obtained position as clerk.
There he remained till December, then he was
sent to Chattanooga, Tenn, at which place he
was at the time OF his illness. Little is known Of
his last sickness He reached the house Of his SIS
ter on Tuesday afternoon, completely exhausted
in both mind and body. There he was tenderly
cared for, and all that love or human power could
do, was done, but in vain; his little strength
soon gave way, and calmly as TO a nights repose
his spirit passed from this to the eternal world
| His loss is mourned by all who knew him. Death
| loves a shining mark, and now of truth he has
aimed well, Yet, We who so deeply grieve, look
| up, 'tis God who afficts, and We may know the
| golden gates of bliss swung back to let your
brother in. ICON.
