Editor Spirit of the Age,
Dear Sir:-As you we'll know,
Mr.. and Mrs Lawrence Cootey
were old residents for many years
(over fifty of Barnard, your county.
We regret to say that we received
Geographic notice today that their
youngest son, George H.. 81 years
old, who enlisted lase June at St.
Cloud, M,nn., in Co. NJ, 18th Min
nesota Volunteers, died at Manil;.
this week. (D.te not given).
He was the thirteenth and young
est child of the family, and his is the
first death. He was in the fight at
the capture of Manila, 18th August,
where his regiment took an active
part and had number of men killed
and wounded. His sister, Jennie E.
Cootey Shaw, has her only son there
in the Ist California Volunteers,
which regiment also took part in the
capture of Manila.
Just before the battle, both boys,
uncle and nephew, met for the first
time in their lives.
George was the only unmarried
one of the family. His mother has
not been informed of his death.
Yours respectfully,
w. A. SHAW.
