| Death of an Officer
Lieut. Nelson Bartholomew, of the 15th Massachusetts regiment, died at La Pierre House in Philadelphia, on the morning of our Thanksgiving day, the 21st inst. His disease was typhoid fever, of which he had been sick for some time at Poolesville. An effort was made by his brother to remove him from the camp to his home in Oxford in this country, but he was to unwell to be brought farther than Philadelphia. Young Bartholomew was a native of this county, of either Hardwick or New Braintree; a graduate of Yale college, and also of the Dane Law School at Cambridge. He had commenced his professional life at Oxford, with good prospects of success. He was of a genial nature, and he met his acquaintance always with a pleasant smile. But his death adds another to a long line of young men, whom this wicked rebellion has taken in the prime of life to enroll among the martyrs for liberty…. Palladium. |
