A dispatch received by his friends, from Jacksonville, Florida, announced the death of Maj. Homer W. Searle, formerly of Madison County [NY] who went South four months ago to regain his failing health, his disease being a pulmonary affection which termination in his death.
Deceased will be remembered by many of our citizens, as an active worker in the organization of the 114th Regiment in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], in the fall of 1862. He entered the Regiment as Second Lieutenant of Company C, from Madison County, and shared its perils and its triumphs until the close of the war. At the assault on Port Hudson June 14th, 1863, after Col. Smith had fallen mortally wounded, Lieut. Searle led the bleeding Regiment to the charge, facing the enemy's cannon, amidst the hail of shot and shell. The slaughter among the brave boys was most fearful, and the survivors were compelled to fall back. But before the retreat began, Lieut. Searle fell pierced by two bullets, and was left for dead upon the field, but was subsequently discovered to be alive, and cared for. He recovered sufficiently to join his command in the latter part of the year, ad for his bravery at Port Hudson was promoted to First Lieutenant. In the July following he was promoted to Captain. At the battle of Opequan he was wounded in the right forearm and shoulder. When the Regiment was mustered out, he received the brevet of Major.
At the close of the war, Major Searle resumed his studies, graduated at Hamilton college, and was afterwards admitted to the bar, with bright prospects before him. Neither of the bullets received by him at Port Hudson were extracted but remained in his body during life. The wound in his lung grew into a cureless disease, which ended his life. he leaves a young widow and a large circle of friends to mourn his decease. His age was thirty years.
