Every heartwas saddened ; m a ti y aneye was moistened. Little nv^d be added to what has alreadybeen said in th ff our beloved Harker. No braver, truer soldier drew sword, in all that vast multitude who followedthe star-Spangled banner in the war for the Union. Earnest, sin-cere and patriotic, implicitly trusted by his superiors, and singu-larly endeared to those he commanded, he was truly a soldier anda man without fear and without reproach. He had four horseskilled under him—two at Chickamauga, one at Missionary Ridge,. JOHN M . SHELLABARGBR,COMPANY C, MXTY-FnTRTH.
