He belonged to Company "F," whose Captain, commanding, James T. Fitts, writes from Brashear city to his sorrowing friends as follows: Oscar was a faithful soldier, and a good boy, and one who had not an enemy in the company or Regiment, all speak well of him, and deeply regret his sudden decease. We buried him today, in a pleasant spot on the shore of the Bay, near the Camp. To which Surgeon L.P. Wagner adds the following tribute: Everything for his comfort was rendered him while he lived and his brother O. King took the utmost pains for him, and has prepared a grave in a beautiful spot on the bank of the bay, where rests the remains of as brave and dutiful a soldier as ever served in the cause of his country. Oscar was the third son of Mr and Mrs. Nichols [who they] have given to the service of their country, and the sympathy of loyal souls is theirs in this sad bereavement.
"How sleeps the brave who sink to rest, / With all their country's wishes blessed. / When spring with dewy fingers cold, / Returns to deck their hallowed mould, / She there shall dress a sweeter sod / Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
"By fairy hands their knell is rung, / By forms unseen their dirge is sung, / There honor comes, a pilgrim gray, / To bless the turf that wraps their clay, / And Freedom shall awhile repair / To dwell a weeping hermit there."
