Death Of Col. Lovejoy
The Standard of Raleigh, July 23, 1862
                    DEATH OF COL. LOVEJOY
  We deeply regret to have to announce the death of COL. GEORGE S. LOVEJOY, 
which occurred at the residence of his father in this City, on Sunday night 
last. COL. LOVEJOY had been in feeble health for some time, and had been 
compelled on this account to retire from the service. He was an able officer, 
having received a military education at West Point. But when his State 
summoned her sons to arms, he responded to the call and offered his best 
energies in her defence.
  His death is no doubt the result of exposure in service, and he is thus as 
much a martyr in the cause of independence as if he had fallen in battle.
He was a young man of sound moral principles and noble impulses. His death 
will be long deplored by a large circle of relatives and friends.

Additional Comments:
(Col. Lovejoy enlisted as a Lt. Colonel on June 3, 1861, at the age of 21 at 
Northampton County. He was a resident of Wake. He served in Companies F & S, 
14th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry. He was discharged on April 26, 1862.)
