Death Of Junius Cullen Battle
 The Standard of Raleigh, Nov. 19, 1862

   JUNIUS CULLEN BATTLE [of Orange County, N. C.] a son of JUDGE BATTLE, died 
at Middletown in Maryland, in the early morning of the second day of October 
last. His left ankle had been shattered by a minnie ball at the battle at 
South Mountain upon Sunday the 14th of September. Having been taken prisoner, 
he was carried to Middletown in the evening of the same day. The wound 
rendered amputation necessary. After it had been undergone, the young soldier 
seemed recovering, but unfavorable symptoms came on, and having lingered 
several days, he died. 
   Young Battle had been reared in the quiet village of Chapel Hill, and at 
the time of his death was in his 22nd year. He had been privileged to obtain 
the whole of his education under the eye of a devoted mother, and thus it was 
that his personal gallantry and good intellect were graced even to manhood by 
a rare and admirable candour and modesty. The war found him teaching at 
Oxford, and a sense of duty to North Carolina carried him into the army.
   Like many of his class in society he had no commission in the service and 
died a private. [PRIVATE JUNIUS BATTLE was a member of Company D, the 12th 
Infantry Regiment.]
