My motto, 'Our Whole Country'; myprayer, 'God speed the right' ; my platform, 'Honorable peace or perpetual war.' This thing must be put down, and it is the duty of those who believe rebellion to be wrong to help put it down. I can help most here in the army,


57


so I must stay in the army as long as the war lasts, if I live so long." He was granted the usual veteran furlough, which he spent at home, and returning, joined his regiment near White Oak Church, Va., May 17, 1864. He was taken sick June 3, while the regiment was near Hanover C. H., and was sent to Finley Hospital, at Philadelphia, Penn. During his absence his reg- iment was mnstered out, its term having expired, and the reƫnlisted men were transferred to the 11th Mass. Battalion. He returned, and was as- signed to Co. E. He was in the engagement at Deep Bottom, Aug. 16, 1864, and in the following battles in the vicinity of Petersburg, Va. : one on the 19th of August, in front of that place ; near Fort Davis, Sept. 10 and 11 ; Poplar Grove Church, October 2; near Boydtown, Plank Road, October 27 ; near Fort Morton, a night attack by the enemy, November 5; took part in the destruction of the Weldon R.

During the stay at that place the regiment lost forty-five men by cholera. Returned to New Orleans, La., arriving there Sept. 25, 1866. He was on duty with his regiment in and about that city until Jan. 21, 1867, when the regiment started for Louisville, Ky., where the officers and men were finally discharged from the service, Feb. 7, 1867. Just before leaving New Orleans, in January, he was bitten on both hands by a dog of strange appearance, which was soon afterwards killed as a rabid animal. The wounds were slight, and soon healed, and it was hoped no harm would result. But these hopes were destined to disappointment, and we are left to wonder at that mysterious Providence which preserved him unharmed through a score of battles, and all the exposures of five and a half years of camp life, to fall so soon a victim to that terrible disease, the hydrophobia. He died June 6, 1867, in West Medway.
