  The name of Herbert N. Fuller, of Charlton, is added to the host of martyrs who have died in rebel prisons. Corporal Fuller enlisted in Co. E; 15th Regiment in June and the first intelligence received of him is that he died at Andersonville, February 20th, and that his grave is numbered 12,681. His comrade writes that he had been without a blanket since his capture, and for three months without a shirt. Always faithful in the discharge of duty, quiet and obedient, accepting posts of danger from choice, he finally had to yeild to a barbarism which was more destructive than bullets. May his widowed mother who is left to mourn the loss remember that his name is linked with numberless other martyrs who have proceeded him, and that to die in a noble cause is again.
