Death Of Capt. Jason Joyner
Standard of Raleigh: Oct. 15, 1862
   DIED, on the 19th of September, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Md., CAPTAIN JASON 
P. JOYNER, Company E, 27th Regiment, N. C. T., in the 20th year of his age.
This young and gallant officer was mortally wounded in the Battle of 
Sharpsburg on the 17th of September,m and died on the 19th. 
   From the ranks he rose rapidly to the head of the company, having occupied 
almost every subaltern position in the short space of six months. He was twice 
unanimously elected Captain of his company. The numbers of the enemy's bullets 
through his clothes attest his fearless courage and heroic firmness in times 
of danger. Pierced with four balls, he remained calm and undaunted at his post 
until mortally wounded by the fifth, the fatal one. His brother ran to him and 
asked him if he was hurt much. His reply was: "I am killed, brother." These 
were his last words upon the field. He was borne to his camp by by four of his 
men, where he was tenderly nursed by a kind friends and his favorite 
physician, and where he calmly breathed his last. His remains were taken to 
Charleston and neatly buried.
   He leaves a devoted mother, an affectionate sister, two loving brothers and 
a host of warm and sincere friends to mourn his loss.
