Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 1860-1898: June 10, 1863
Died on the 28th of April last, of chronic diarrhea, in the hospital at St. Louis,
Mo., Sergeant Samuel Newton Powelson, in the 25th year of his age. The deceased was
Orderly Sergeant of Co. D, 32d Reg't Missouri Vols. He was in the army near
Vicksburg, and, by reason of the sickness of the higher officers, had the command of
the Company for a considerable time… Samuel, when quite young, connected himself
with the Presbyterian church of Cross Creek, Pa., and held fast the profession of
his faith without wavering, to the end. His worthy father, who resides near Rolla in
Mo., has lost all his property and is bereaved of two sons by this wicked rebellion,
and still lives to pray for the safety of two other sons who are fighting for their
country in the armies of the Potomac.
