The Raleigh Standard, Jan. 7, 1863
The Raleigh Standard, Jan. 7, 1863
   DIED in the hospital at Frederick, Md.,on October 9th, from a wound 
received at the battle of Sharpsburg, BASIL MANLY STEDMAN, from Chatham 
County, N. C. , 48th N. C. Troops, aged 18 years. After the battle his name 
was not to be found among the killed and wounded, nor was he with his company. 
In this state of awful suspense and anxiety his widowed mother, who had lost a 
noble son in the Malvern Hill Battle just four months previous, remained till 
the last of October, when she learned by a letter from MISS FANNIE V. ELBERT 
that her son was wounded and in the hospital at Frederick, Md. and doing very 
well. A second letter, written Dec. 1st, announced his death "away from home 
[says MISS ELBERT] but not among strangers; for his extreme youth rendered him 
an object of interest to every one, and he made many warm friends who mingle 
their tear with yours [his mother's] over his early death. He was buried in 
Mt. Olivet Cemetery, a beautiful public burying ground, where I prommise you 
his grave shall not be forgotten by a portion at least, of the ladies of 
Frederick." -- Fay. Observer
