The deceased was formerly a member of Gen. Grant's old Regiment, the 21st Illinois Infantry.
DIED
Of consumption, on the 17th inst. at the residence of his uncle, Henry Wharton, in the 26th year of his age. Henry was a soldier. It was in the army he contracted the disease of which he died. Besides skirmishes and other engagements, he was in the battle of Stone River, during which he was struck with a minnie-ball just below the right eye, the ball passing out behind the ear. Another victim of that cruel war has gone. May he rest in peace.
