of them and was surprised to find
that six members of his company
were resting there.
There names were found that Con-

account for: ]. L. Bass, B. f. Bar
nett, brother Of Dan Barnett of
Rome; and Samuel c. Handy. Bass.

ma This week, however, It was
found that he died honorably as a
prisoner of war in Camp Morton, Ind.
Connor says his company was in
Vicksburg nine days after the sur
render and thinks that Bass became
i'll and was carried to a hospital.
