Daniel L. Wells, Civil War Soldier: WELLS: At the Marine Hospital, New Orleans, Aug. 30, 1863, of consumption, Daniel L. Wells, of Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY], a volunteer in Co. I, 114th Reg., N.Y.S.V., aged 31 years. In the fall of 1862, when enlistments were so rapidly going on in this county, he was among the first who nobly volunteered to risk his life in his country's service. He left Norwich with the Regiment in September, 1862, and kept with it through all its perilous passage from Baltimore to New Orleans, being one of the number so nearly lost with the Thames in November. In April, 1863, he became very feeble and remained so up to the time of this death. He was often saying he would never leave his country's service except with his death, or the downfall of treason. He was a young man of the highest intelligence and abilities, professing a noble, frank and genial heart, and was universally beloved and esteemed by all who knew him. In his death our society has lost one of its dearest numbers, and his parents the joy of a true and faithful son.

"No marble marks the couch of lowly sleep,
But living statues here are seen to seep;
Affliction's semblance bends not o'er thy tomb,
Affliction's self deplores thy early doom."
[Chenango Telegraph, Sept. 23, 1863]
ARNOLD: In McDonough [Chenango Co., NY], Sept. 3, 1863 of diphtheria, after an illness of nine days, Henry E. Arnold, son of William and Melissa B. Arnold, aged 13 years and 5 days. Throughout his sickness he was remarkably patient and thoughtful. He was a regular attendant and lover of the Sabbath School. We feel that he gave evidence of going to a better world than this. He was heard to say (speaking to himself), "I cannot live and I must give my heart to Jesus." We trust his happy spirit was conveyed by angels to "Abraham's bosom" awaiting the glorious resurrection morn. [Chenango Telegraph, September 23, 1863]
