Death Of Sgt. S. L. Brookshire
THE STANDARD of Raleigh, Oct. 1, 1862
   DIED, on the 17th inst., at his father's residence in Randolph County,
 N. C., SERGEANT S. L. BROOKSHIRE, youngest son of BENJAMIN and MARY 
BROOKSHIRE, in the 23rd year of his age.
   The deceased was a member of CAPTAIN PARHAM'S Company,54th Regiment, N.C.T. 
He was detailed and sent to his native county for the purpose of taking up 
deserters -- but he had not left camp but a few days before he was taken with 
Diptheria, and fortunately arrived at his father's the day after he was 
attacked, where he met with kind friends who did everything for his recovery, 
but in vain.
   At home, he was an especial favorite, and in his death, his parents have 
lost a dutiful son, his brothers and sister, a kind and loving brother, and 
the South, a faithful soldier.
