BALLOU: In Plymouth, Chenango Co. N.Y., October 20th, 1872, Dennis Ballou, Esq., aged 73 years.
He was born in Richmond, Cheshire Co. N.H., December 16th, 1798, and removed with his parents when a boy, to Cortland County, N.Y., passing along what is now called the turnpike from Smyrna to Otselic, when it was all a wilderness, with the exception of a very few clearings and log dwellings. Left fatherless while young, and among strangers, his nobility of character and firmness for the right made him many friends. He began business for himself by teaching in the public schools. Removed to Plymouth about 1824, engaging in the shoe and leather business; was soon elected to a town office, and for a long term of years served the people in some capacity as town officer. Early in life he united with the Baptist church and lived a faithful member. Although his last illness was long and severe, no word of complaint or murmuring fell from his lips. He has gone to rest. A family have lost a kind father; the church a faithful worker; society an honored member; the party of freedom and equal rights for all, a firm supporter.

In the meantime, an inquest had been held by Coroner Billington, on the morning of the same day, the verdict of the morning of the same day, the verdict of the jury being in accordance with the above facts.

A mound is in the grave yard, / A soft and narrow bed, / No grass is grown on it / And no marble at its head, / We can go and weep beside it, / We can kneel and kiss the sod, / But we'll find no balm for sorrow / In the cold and silent clod.
Remove his empty couch, his clothing put away, / And all his books and playthings / With your choicest treasures lay. / Strive not to check the tear drops / That fall like summer rain, / The sun of hope shines through them, / We shall see his face again.
DIED: At Bay View Plantation, St. James Parish, S.C., Oct. 14, 1872, Dr. Levi P. Wagner, aged about 40 years.
Upon the organization of the 114th Regiment NY.S. volunteers, Dr. Wagner, then residing at Oxford [Chenango Co. NY], was commissioned Surgeon of the regiment in which company he served until the battle of Opequan, when he was placed in charge of the Depot Field Hospital at Winchester, Va. Afterwards he was detached as medical Inspector Middle Military division on the staff of Gen. Hancock, in which capacity he served until he was mustered out. In about a year after the war he moved to his Plantation, where he spent his time in the various duties of a Planter's life, and in professionally administering to the wants of his neighbors and friends. In his connection with the regiment and the performance of his official duties everywhere, Doctor Wagner was always actuated with the desire to do his duty. As an officer he was honored and as a citizen loved and respected. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him.

Death of Dr. L.P. Wagner
On the 14th inst. near Charleston, S.C., Levi P. Wagner, M.D., late Surgeon in the 114th Regiment of N.Y. Volunteers, during the recent War, aged 41 years.
The above brief, sad record will bring surprise and sorrow to many in our midst. Dr. Wagner was a native of Georgetown, in the county of Madison, and after completing his studies at the Albany Medical College in 1853, came to this village [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY] and commenced the practice of his profession. He remained here in successful practice until 1862, and on the 29th of July of that year, was commissioned Surgeon in the One Hundred and Fourteenth Regiment.
Surgeon Wagner received merited commendation for his thorough and faithful medical examinations, and the general healthful condition and efficiency of the regiment, were largely due to his skill and scrutiny.
He remained with the regiment until Sheridan's great battle in the valley of the Shenandoah, when he was detached and put in charge of the Depot Field Hospital at Winchester Va. and had entire control of this important department until April 1, 1865. Thereafter he had the important position of Medical Inspector of the middle military division, on the staff of General Hancock, which he held until he was mustered out of service with his regiment. The Chief Medical Officer of the army of the Shenandoah expressed to Doctor Wagner, by letter, his high appreciation of his services as a Surgeon and as an administrative officer.
After the close of the rebellion, he removed to South Carolina and engaged extensively in business. During his residence in this village, Doctor Wagner both in his profession, and as a citizen, won a large share of the public respect and esteem, and in the more intimate relations of companion and friend, those who knew him best will recall his many generous and excellent gifts of head and heart with tender sorrow for his loss.
