The First Death at Salisbury.

Thomas Fleming. of Mendon, ILL.,, says
that Supt. Fonda, of the National
Cemetery. at Salisbury, n. c., must be
mistaken in his statement that Benjamin
Taft, who died at Salisbury in 1862, was
the first death of soldier in the prison.
In September, 1861, there were 500
prisoners transferred from Richmond to
New Orleans. They were given quarters
in the County or Parish prison and re-
manned there four months. Eight of the
number died in that time. They were then
sent to Salisbury, where they stayed three
months. On arriving at Salisbury they
found the prison occupied by quite num-
Der. which their squad increased to 400.
Among these were Al belonging to the
18th Pa. Among these also was young
man whom Comrade Fleming remembers
as Settle, and he was found dead one
morning There must have been many
other deaths before the prisoners were. re-
