Died: At Lincoln Hospital, Washington D.C., July 31st, of typhoid fever, George W. Ames, of North Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY], a volunteer in Co. A, 89th N.Y. Cavalry, aged 19 years. Few young men who give up their lives for their country will be missed and mourned as George is. He was indeed a true and noble boy. Surrounded by all the obstacles that possibly could be thrown in his way, he had reached a position in society, upon which those on whom fortune had ever smiled, might well look with envy. Frank, truthful, with intellectual abilities of the first order, he would, had he lived, have stood high on the list of fame. His noble spirit would not allow him to stay with us, when traitors were striving against his dear country, and freely he gave his young life up at her altar. "Mournfully, tenderly, solemn and slow, / Tears are bedewing the path as we go; / Kindred and strangers are weeping today, / A hero, a patriot, from earth passed away." North Pharsalia, Oct. 14, 1863, D. L.A.
Desertion and Elopement: A correspondent writes to the Utica Herald that some three weeks ago, Daniel W. Dennis, of North Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], an enlisted volunteer in the McClellan Cavalry, deserted the service, and enticed the wife of Joseph Edmunds, of the same town (her husband being a member of the 8th N.Y. Cavalry, in Virginia) to desert two little children and elope with him. She took with her near two hundred dollars, including some money just received from her husband for the support of the family. Where they went is not known, but on Saturday morning last they took the stage at Utica for Norwich. They stopped however over Sunday at Earlville, keeping themselves much secluded in their room. She, when noticed by the attendants, was observed to have been weeping. On Monday they returned to Utica in private conveyance, stopping at the Central Hotel as privately as possible. Sergt. M.C. Griswold, of the McClellan Cavalry, got a clue to this lurking place, and employed an attache of the hotel to keep watch until he could procure needful aid from Provost Marshal Richardson to arrest and secure Dennis. Before Griswold returned, and he was not gone ten minutes, Dennis and woman were hurried into a carriage in the back yard of the Central (as has since been ascertained) and driven off, and no intelligence has since been heard of them. Her money, doubtless, did the job. Dennis was a poor squirt, but Mrs. Edmunds was of a respectable family, and was a pleasant, fine-looking and a reputable young woman. Her children are left to the charity of others..
