He was a man of social disposition and was specially known as a good hand to take care of the sick. In 1862 when our government called for the second 300,000 men, Mr. H. enlisted in the 152d Regt. N.Y.V. He had not been long in the service before the Surgeon of Hampton Hospital discovered his fitness as an assistant and had him detailed for that purpose, where he remained for three months after the war closed. When it became known at home that Hitchcock was assistant in the hospital, everybody who knew him said "he can best serve his country there." Mr. H. seemed to have a presentiment when first taken sick that he would never recover. He received every care and attention which a kind and sympathizing community could bestow, for which the relatives and friends are truly thankful. His remains were brought to Morris and buried in the old church cemetery.
