Death Of Captain W. T. Marsh
The STANDARD of Raleigh, Oct. 8, 1862
             CAPTAIN W. T. MARSH
   We regret to learn that this gallant officer received a wound in the Battle 
of Sharpsburg, of which he died on the 24th September. We saw his servant on 
Saturday last, who showed us CAPTAIN MARSH'S watch, which was struck by the 
bullet that caused his death. The watch is a small gold one, and was in the 
overshirt pocket on his left breast. The ball struck the lower part of the 
watch, crushed and bent it, and passed into his body. CAPTAIN MARSH lingered 
for about a week at the house of MR. MCQUILTON, two miles this side of 
Shepardstown, where he was kindly nursed and cared for. CAPTAIN MARSH belonged 
to the 2nd State Troops, having entered the service at the beginning of the 
war. He was a young man of much promise. He was a member of the last 
Legislature from Beaufort County, and had been reelected a member of the 
present Legislature.
