ROCHESTER COURIER -- February 05, 1864

Death of A Soldier -- News has been received during the past week of the death of Mr. Henry HORNEY, a veteran volunteer from this town, belonging to the 6th N.H. Regt., who died at Schenectady, N.Y., on the 29th ult. He started with the regiment to come home on furlough
granted in consequence of re-enlisting, from the southern border of Kentucky, but could not survive the journey. Whatever imperfections were his, we consign them to his long home with his remains; and whatever of virtue he possessed, let it not be said he was without words of just praise. He was a true patriot, and has thus early fallen a martyred hero
for us all. His was a crown which would ill become many less worthy men at home. The true soldier, he who fights not the battle with words, but with hand and heart and brave deed, is the true nobleman, and the honors of
political life shrink into contemptible insignificance beside such as his. Let us not forget to honor his memory. His remains, we understand, have been sent for and are expected today.

DEATHS: In Hospital at Schenectady, N.Y. , on 29th ult., Henry HORNEY, of Co. H., 6th N.H. Vol., aged 31 years-- formerly of Rochester.
