| Death of a Volunteer
The remains of Albert H. Snow, one of the original members of company I, 15th Mass Regt., who died from the effects of wounds received at the battle of Gettysburg were brought to this place last Wednesday. Thursday morning they were taken to Ashford Ct., for burial. We have not been able to learn the particulars of young Snow’s death, further than that he was shot in the head during the early part of the action, was carried to the hospital and lingered for three or four days. Through the exertions of T. W. Wellington, of Worcester, who was sent from that city to look after the dead and wounded of the 15th, his body was embalmed and forwarded to his friends in this place. Appropriate funeral services, conducted by Rev. Mr. Fish, will be held at the Baptist Church to-morrow afternoon at the usual hour of Sabbath service. Without doubt Mr. Fish will be able to present many facts connected with the death of this young man, who when he was among us was known to be a person of excellent traits. Gettysburg Casualties These were all members of company I, 15th Mass Regiment: WOUNDED, Augustus Benway, Dyer D. Cady, Vernon Negus, George Raymond, Charles Shumway. |
