Death of Sergt. H.H. Rhodes: The following letter from the Chaplain of his Regiment, announces the death of one who early in life, has laid his life a sacrifice upon the altar of his country. Mr. Rhodes was the son of Asa W. Rhodes of this town [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY].
Headquarters 90th Reg. N.Y.V., Camp Morgan, Key West, June 28, 1862
W.G. Rhodes: Dear Sir: It is my painful duty to inform you of the death of your brother, Sergeant Rhodes, who fell asleep in Jesus on Thursday afternoon, 26th June. Your brother had been long sick and hopes were entertained of his recovery, and in fact he had got so much better, that he was able to walk about when he was taken down with severe diarrhea, which reduced him in strength and finally robbed us of a valuable young officer and soldier, and his family and friends of an ornament and pride. My acquaintance with your brother was close and intimate. He was one among the number of religious young men that I could always rely on to assist me and encourage me, as the Chaplain in my duties and labors. He was not only a regular attendant at all of my meetings, but took part in them with a modesty, earnestness and sincerity which made him a blessing to us. His life in the camp was as became a "son of God", pure and holy, without rebuke. In his sickness, he was patient and trustful, and in my daily visits to the hospital it was a privilege to sit and listen to him as he magnified the grace of God in Jesus Christ. His death was peaceful and triumphant. I was with him in the solemn hour when he was to close his earthly career, though unable to speak, he had his intellect clear and could by signs give us the assurance that "all was well." From him in answer to my questions, I was desired to write to let his friends know that he died in the faith and hope of the Gospel.
During his sickness, he had all the care and attention he needed. The Surgeon and nurses were kind and attentive, his officers and friends in his own and other companies did all they could to render him comfortable. I mention particularly Capt. D'LaPaturelle, Lieuts, Locke and Ireland, Sergt. Lathrop, and Ireland and Jacobs. We buried his remains in hope of Eternal life through Jesus Christ, in the Soldier's Burial Ground, with military honors. Col. Morgan and many of the officers of the Regiment around his grave, paid a tribute of respect to the remains of a worthy man. May you and I thus die.
You have my sympathy and that of the regiment in your sad bereavement. May God in Infinite mercy sanctify it to the good of his friends. To your parents tender my sincere regard and prayer that God would richly afford them the consolations of his grace to comfort their hearts.
Your, in Christ, J.G. Bass, Chaplain
