The Herald dispatch tells of his
prominence among his confederate
comrades. He was a man of emf

AS his death occurred away from

the hope of restoring his failing
health. as his friends had noticed
that he was not in his usual health
when he was last seen by them
There is discrepancy in the figures
as to the year of his birth and his

have been seventy-ive instead Of six
