NEWELL: At Martinsburgh Hospital, Va., of wounds received at the battle of Winchester, Va., Sept. 19, 1864, Loren D. Newell, member of Co. B, 114th Regt. N.Y.V., aged 23 years.
His race is run in Southern climes;
He rests among the brave.
Where perfumed blossoms gently fall
Like tears around his grave.
No loving friends are near to weep,
or plant bright flowers there;
But birdlings chant a requiem sweet,
And strangers breathe a prayer.
He sleeps in peace; yea sweetly sleeps!
His sorrows all are o'er
With him the storms of life have passed;
He's found the heavenly shore.
[Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, Nov. 15, 1865]
