Article in the Xenia Gazette, published Tuesday, 06 Dec 1898:
John Sturgeon, an old soldier, was buried here last Thursday. Exposure on the battlefield, in the defense of our country, and old age, was the cause of death. Thus one by one our soldiers leave us, but then,
"on fames eternal camping ground
His alien tent is spread
And glory guards with silent round
The bivouac of the dead."
