| Deceased Soldier
The remains of E. L. Parmenter, one of the original members of Co. I., 15th Mass. Regiment, were brought to this place yesterday morning, in charge of Mr. Wm. H. Pratt. It will be recollected that young Parmenter was in the famous engagement at Ball’s Bluff, where he was taken prisoner by the rebels, and held in confinement until the following May, and then paroled. In company with several others of Co. I. he remained at home until exchanged, when he again joined Co. I., but a short time before the battle of Antietam. On this bloody field he fell badly wounded, and was taken to the hospital, suffered amputation of a leg, lingered some weeks, and died on the 15th of last October. His remains were buried near Sharpsburg. At the solicitation of his friends, Mr. Pratt left this place three weeks since, to obtain the body of young Parmenter, and bring it here for interment by the side of his relatives. Mr. P. succeeded in finding the remains without much difficulty, and they reached here as above stated. We understand that funeral services will be held at the Congregational church to-morrow. |
