Obit:
William C. Ballew, died May 15,1863, at Chancellorsville.
The subject of this notice was killed in the memorable
battle of Chancellorsville while doing his duty as a
faithful soldier on that bloody field. he was a member of
Company F. 18th Georgia Regiment, and was nearly
twenty-seven years of age at the time of his death. Four
or five months previous to his death, he obtained a hope
of the pardoning love of Jesus. A few days previous to
his death, he obtained a letter from his father, which
contained much wholesome instruction, and he in-
sisted that I should read the letter and take the good
counsel there-in contained. As the Regiment was
marching into battle he seemed to have a present-
ment of his death and made known to his comrades
his feelings. But these feelings did not destroy his
cheerfulness. He went into battle trusting in that God
into whose hands he had committed the keeping of
his soul, Though it was in his power to have an obtained
an excuse from duty on that day, yet he preferred to be
found at his post, having a strong faith in the favoring
providence of God. He made no public profession of
religion, yet his conversation savored so much of true
godliness, that his brother entertains a strong a faith in
his salvation. Thus has passed away another brother,
a faithful soldier and martyr in his country's cause.
"The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away, blessed
be the name of the Lord."

From His brother , George E. Ballew.

Not sure where burial is, it could have been on the battlefield.
I'm not sure of which family he belongs too, but adding this info
in case someone does knows.
