Death of George W. Isbell: A correspondent of the Utica Herald, writing on board the steamer America, bound from New Orleans to New York, under date of September 22, thus speaks of the death and burial of Geo. W. Isbell, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY]. Today we have to record a sad and solemn event. A death and burial at sea. The victim, if he may be so termed, was George W. Isbell, Sergeant Company B, 114th Reg., N.. Vols. His home was in the village of Norwich, not many miles from Utica, to which he was returning to die, as he hoped, in the bosom of this family. But alas! God willed it otherwise, and death overtook him midway and he slept that sleep which knows no waking until the resurrection morn. And here--
On the ocean's blue bosom, / Midway 'tween strife and home, / 'Neath the noble flag for which he fought, / Hero of many battles he died! all alone / All alone.
He knew he could no longer stay, / Old "Time had thrown the die, " / And angels to him whispered come / We'll take thee to a happier home in the sky, / All alone--all alone.
Away from home, wife and cherub ones / Rocked upon the bosom of the sea, / He lay--sick, wearied and worn, / trusting in God, who willed it so to be / All alone--all alone.
Midnight bells had called the hour, / He rose, went forth at the -?- sound / But these, arrayed, no martial host he found / Sighed, returned, laid him down and died. / All alone--all alone.
'Neath flags at half-mast at an early hour, / His body we committed to the deep, / To remain 'till the sea gives up its dead. / Peacefully reposing in its watery bed. / All alone--all alone.
The burial scene was one of unusual solemnity, it being the first time that I had seen a body committed to the silent and awful deep. The service was read by the pastor with much solemnity, and everybody present seemed to be more or less impressed by the mournful peace.
