The icy hand of death / Was laid on cheek and brown. / And Grace, the cherished idol, lay / Beneath his shadow now. / "Oh Gracie, darling, leave me not!" / The anguished mother sighed; / "Hush mama! mama, please be still!" / The little sufferer cried.
"Dear brother Gracie's going home; / Be good, my darling one. / And give this kiss to dear papa, / Whenever he comes home." / "Now I will go to sleep, and soft / The blue eyes closed, the breath / Fluttered more faintly, then was still; / Sweet Gracie slept in death.
Blest sleep! to open those blue eyes / Where death can never come / To gaze with wonder and surprise / Upon her Heavenly home, / And looking back to the sad world, / To her darkened earthly home, / Is she not calling, brother dear, / Papa, mama, come home?

Died: In Prison Hospital, at Salisbury, N.C., Feb. 8th, Mr. Charles E. Curtis, of McDonough [Chenango Co., NY], a member of the 90th Reg. N.Y.S.V., aged 31 years. Feeling it his solemn duty to respond in person to his country's call for help, in her hour of sternest trial, with a brave heart and holy purpose he went forth, in September 1864 to join the noble Sheridan But not long did he follow the promptings of his patriotic heart. Meeting the enemy at the battle of Cedar Creek, October 19th, he fell captive into their hands. He was then taken to "Libby" for a few days, then removed to Salisbury, where, after more than three months of utmost sufferings, such as rebel ingenuity only can devise, kindly death came and set the prisoner free. During this time, his loved wife and children in their pleasant home were constantly before his mind, from whom he had heard nothing since he left, and whom he desired so much to see. His Bible was his constant and well tried friend, his solace and comforter, whose teachings he loved, and precepts obeyed. through his illness, his sufferings were made much more endurable by the self sacrificing exertions of his brother-in-law, Jacob Gibson, who gave him every possible care, even sacrificing his own liberty for over three long months, that he might cheer by his presence, and soften his dying pillow. To him the friends of the deceased will ever owe a debt of gratitude, and they sincerely pray that the angel that seems waiting to bear him over the river of death, may stay its wayward fight, and leave the brave soldier a little longer with his friends.
Died: At Gayaso Hospital, Memphis, Tenn. March 24th, of wounds received in battle, Mr. Delos W. Gazley, of the 11th N.Y. Cavalry, formerly of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], aged 24 years.
Mr. Gazley was one among the first to volunteer for the War, and enlisted in the 17th N.Y.V., serving faithfully for the full term, with honorable mention for bravery at the battle of Chancellorsville, and was honorably discharged. Again re-enlisting in the 11th N.Y. Cavalry, or Scott's 900, serving till the time of his death which was occasioned by a wound received in a recent skirmish, near Memphis, Tenn. Mr G. was one of the first employees in this office, and left pleasant memories with his associates and companions, who strongly sympathize with his relatives in their sore bereavement. He leaves a wife, but no children. Oxford Democrat
Mr. Gazley served a part of his time as an apprentice in this office, and his death we believe, makes the fifth one of our former employees who have ended their career in the war. He was a brave and impulsive soldier, and discharged every duty with fidelity and zeal. We sincerely deplore his loss, as do all who knew him.
