 "AMERICAN PATRIOTISM" OR, MEMOIRS OF 'COMMON MEN.'" by LEONARD BROWN, 1869
HENRY P. TAYLOR,
SAYS Captain Studer, “died suddenly and unexpectedly."  A most excellent man; a
real Christian and a gentleman; one of the best men in the company; a true
patriot; quiet and firm; anxious to perform all his duties; kind and courteous
to all around him, very respectful to his officers; highly esteemed and
respected by all. In the night of March 14, 1862, he fell suddenly ill, in the
company's quarters at Camp Halleck, Keokuk, and died within about 1½ hours from
the time he first complained. The surgeon could not render a correct certificate
as to name of disease, but thought it to be congestive chill, he having been
summoned too late to see much of his case, or to save him. Taylor had a wife and
several small children when he enlisted, depending wholly on him for support.
His sudden and untimely end created a deep feeling of sadness among all around
him. He was a good citizen, and the country lost a splendid soldier. He lived in
Des Moines; was a laboring man; age, thirty-three; a native of Ohio; a private;
enlisted Feb. 6, 1862.
