TOTTEN, Co. A, 28th Conn., son of Hiram and Hannah Totten, died at Camp Ferris, Barrancas, Fla., March 28, 1863, of typhoid fever. His remains were buried in the Navy Yard cemetery on the following Sunday. He had been sick about three weeks, and was apparently recovering when the order was given to evacuate Pensacola. The removal to Barrancas was too much for him, the relapse which followed, proving fatal. "He was beloved by his company and all who knew him. He was always ready to do his duty, whatever it might be." Noble record for the young soldier, now dead. Every such record is an honor, not to the name alone of those who thus suffer and die, but to the family which has reared, and to the town which has lent such sons for such service.
