The Wheeling Intelligencer, 9 Sep 1863, Wed., p 2
At Hagerstown, Md., Henry Clay, oldest son of Waldo P. Goff, of Clarksburg, Va., in the 23rd year of his age.
The deceased was a most promising and exemplary young man. Soon after the breaking out of the rebellion, young Goff went into the service of his country in the capacity of a Quartermaster's clerk, in which position he acquitted himself most faithfully in the army of the Potomac. In the fall of 1862, he became connected with the division of Gen. Milroy. Early in the beginning of the present year he was appointed an Assistant Quartermaster of Volunteers, with the rank of Captain.---He came to Hagerstown in the latter part of July, as A.Q. M. of Gen. Smith's Division. Soon after arriving at Hagerstown he became quite ill. A good and kind mother was present with him for some weeks before his death. Clay Goff is gone. He will be missed by all who knew him, yet will be kindly remembered for his many virtues. As an officer in the field, there were few as good, none more prompt. His great desire was to do all he could to put down the present desperate rebellion; his whole soul was in the cause of his country. His warfare is over.
