to society by his calling, for he was a

no friends in Clinton, but he just

of her boy were of her and the home
in which he was so happy in his child
hood. Tell her that my last hours
were spent in praying for her, and for
father, and for the other children, and

cold in death and twenty-three were
suffering from ghastly wounds.
Ben Brown was one of the four who
went down in that terrible storm of

Hall, badly wounded.
Ben Browns body was brought to
Clinton and was among the first in

grave, and the one selected was mere

nothing of Ben Brown and very little
of Jim Hall, but when Company E boys
happened to look at the surrounding
graves after they had lowered Jim's
body into the earth they saw the re.
