Death Of S.W.C. Siler
The Standard of Raleigh: Aug. 13, 1862
  DIED, at the Winder Hospital in Richmond, Va., on the 12th  of July 1862,
 S. W. C. Siler, in his 21st year.
  The deceased was a member of CAPT. LANE'S Company, G, 26th Regiment, N. C. 
Troops, with which he has cheerfully, for the last 12 months performed all the 
duties appertaining to a soldier's life. He was born in Chatham County, N.C., 
where he resided until the commencement of hostilities between the North and 
the South. Being a staunch friend of the Union, he was loath to part with it 
till he saw that we could no longer live in peace with the North. Then 
throwing aside all love for the "stars and stripes," he buckled on his armor 
and rushed to the rescue of his bleeding country. And although no missile from 
the enemy did the fatal work, he is nevertheless another of the many martyrs 
who have yield up their lives as a sacrifice upon their country's altar.
