released on parole of honor with his fellow-soldiers, when he returned to his 
home.  He was only permitted to enjoy the company of his family one day, when 
he was confined to his bed and suffered severe pain for twelve days, when he 
quietly breathed his last.  Thus ended the days of one of the heroes of 
Roanoke.
