Col. A. 5. Hall, then commanding
the I05th Regt., communicated the
death of Capt. X, in q letter to the
chairman of the Military Committee at
Warren. In this letter he says, "No
death in the regiment could have cast
a deeper gloom. Through our toilsome
marches, from the moment we landed
in Kentucky, till now, through the
perils of the bloody battle of Perryville,
Capt. Kee was alwsyi at his post, first
among the foremost, and the bravest of
the brave" In the soul of Capt. Kee
there was no elemert of fear. To all
these soldierly qualities, there was in
his abilities also, high quality of in
tellectusl worth. Few men of his age
could WELD a more forcible pen, OF.
produce and deliver more eloquent
extempore address. As q citizen and
soldier he brought to the service of
his country great TALENTS, and undivided
affection, and has sacrificed all on her
sacred altar. Unscirred at PerryVille,
though in the thickest of that terrible
slaughter, he was spared to US, and now
falls by the hand Of lurking disease, but
none the less in the line of duty Gal
lsnt brother, over tly untimely grave,
thy comrades shed the tears OF un-
L W. a., y
upon the enemies o. our beloved coun-
try, and with renewed determination
vow to avenge thy loss. If you know
the parents of Capt. Kee please give
! them this letter as small testimonial
to the worth of ther son.

Plant Evergreens about the new made graves
OF those we loved in life our fallen braves;
And let it be a truth forever seen,
Our emblem like our love, IS ever green,
Then every stranger listening to the breeze,
That softly murmurs through the neigh boring
trees,
VIII know their song, and knowing will be led
To join the solemn requiem Of the dead.
With this solemn chapter we close,
and will only express, as the wish of
our hearts, that in all coming time our
township may in intelligence, patriot
ism, virtue and religion, hold a rank
worthy of her place among the town
