Der the name OF Richard Corbin. of Moss
Creek, Caroline county, who sealed his
devotion to the cause Of the South by his
life-blood In the fall of 1863, near Gull
peper Courthouse. This noble. brave man
served as private from April, 1861. until
he was torn nearly asunder by a grape
shot on that fatal summer evening. This
mans last words were, Tell Pa I died at
my post" His body was left az the house
of lady who was forbidden by the Fede-
raj soldiers to bury II, but who did, on
the next day. when the Federals had
left, with the aid OF her little son, OF 10
years. wrap the soldier in his blanket,
and without coffin or burial-service. con-
sign his body to mother earth. No monu-
ment marks the soldiers re5llng-piace,
but his memory Is still green in the hearts
Of his comrades. Il. c. MONCURE.
