The Ledger announces the death at Lancaster C.H., on the 20th instant, of Maj. B.R. Clyburn, aged 37 years. The Ledger says: "At the breaking out of the late war Major Clyburn entered early into the service as first lieutenant of Company H, Second South Carolina Regiment. He acted with conspicuous gallantry upon every battlefield in which his regiment was engaged. He was severely wounded four times, twice at Sharpsburg, once at Gettysburg, and lost a leg at Cedar Creek, Valley of Virginia. From the position of a first lieutenancy he fought his way to major of his regiment, an was in command of it when he lost his leg at Cedar Creek. Since the war he has practiced the profession of law. As a friend, he was generous and true to a fault; as a man, brave and honorable. He leaves a devoted wife and one child."
