DrED-In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at the
residence of his sister, in the thirty-fourth
year of his age, 6. W. ToLBERr, member of
Company D, l0th Mississippi Regiment, c. s.
A.
No sadder message could have reached his
friends, than the tidings of GEdRGE ToLBERT's
death, and ii is with melancholy satisfaction
and under a sacred sense of duty that his
comrades who are left beg to lay a simple
tribute on his grave, TO aid in houoriug the
memory of a kind heart-a true friend, and a
gallant soldier.
IL IS an obligation felt that they who had
shared the joys of his childhood. and partakeu
of the cares of his maturity who had slipped
with him the blessings Of Peace, and drank
with him the dregs of War. should now gather
true mOurners TO drop a tearupon his grave.
Kindly relations, dating back from his be-
ginning in life, enhanced by deep impressions
of his soldierly qualities, cemented by years
of common trial. could net bur ripen into a
tender. vet pleasantly sOrrOwful memory of
one so faithful, true and brave.
With an ardent and impetuous nature. the
call OF his country for her sons, found in him
an eager Willingness TO respond. With this
nature, and with a strict and conscientious
construction of duty, he faithfully performed
every part of a soldiers life. Whether on the
weary march, in the stirring camp. on the
silent picket or in the battles front he never
wearied, never faltered was always willing
was always there. Never did the roll call for
any duty. but he answered present
And when the struggle was over, and il had
been left to Fate to 'furl that banner of the
Confederacy, he passed iato the paths of peace
with all those characteristics which had been
admired in war. Sympathetic to a weakness
generous to a fault-a willing helper-a foe
without sting and friend ever kind, he has
crossed " over the river" and we trust will
calmly - rest beneath the trees "
And thus after gallant and faithful SER
vice buthalf spent, in the early summer of his
life. with shattered frame, and a wrecked
constitution, he took his seat NJ the hearth of
those who loved him and calmly waited for the
last assembly call to sound, and when that
sound came, it found him. perhaps weary. but
ever ready to obey. His faults and weak nesses
are laid away with him, and there is left
from out of his grave only the memory Of a
gallant soldier and faithful conn ade in arms
