 Daniel K. Green, 71, died at the Johnson hospital of pneumonia last Saturday morning, after an illness of week. Few men have had the hair breadth escapes from death that marked the career of MT. Green. He was in 26 hard fought battles in the civil war. One of three men un- der shed since the war, lightning struck and killed the other two and he was unharmed. Death steadily overlooked him in countless instances, and he died peaceably in his bed after an extremely adventurous career. The deceased was absolutely fearless, and his long and active war record is without blemish. He was born in Putnam and enlisted from Pomfret. Since the close of the war he had made his home in this town the great CT part of the time, working at his trade as a painter. He enlisted in Company H, 65th New York, in August, 1861, and was mustered in for three years service. He left the state with his regiment for Washing ton August 18th, going into winter quarters near the city, doing camp and provost duty until April, 1862, when the command joined the Army of the Potomac under General McClel- Ian for the campaign against Rich mond. Landing at Port Monroe, he participated in the march up the peninsula, the siege of Yorkstown, the battle of Williamsburg, the engage ments at Seven Pines and Fair Oaks, the battle of Savage Station, White Oak Swamp and Malvern Hill. He next proceeded to HarrisOn's Landing, and in August embarked for Alexan- dria, crossing Long bridge in Wash ington, and encamped near the city until September, when, with his com mand, he had an active part in the Maryland campaign, participating in the battles of Antietam, Fredicksburg, and the battles of Salemcheer. He was also active in the march of the army north, and in the thick of the fight at Gettysburg, July 2d and 3d, 1863. He next proceeded to Brandy Station, and joined the Army of the Potomac and participated in the battle of the Wilderness. Here he was bad ly wounded in the knees and both hands. He was sent to hospital in Philadelphia, where he remained un- til September, 1864, when he was sent to Alexandria, thence to New York city, where he was honorably mustered out by reason of the expira- tion of his term of service. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Wm. Batchel- der and Mrs. Eben Eaton, both of Bridgeport. The funeral was held from the Methodist church Monday evening at o'clock, and the body was taken to South Coventry for burial Tuesday morning. At South Coventry his body was placed in a vault beside the remains of his sister, Mrs. P. J. Cullen.
