Death Of Colonel Stokes
The Standard of Raleigh: July 9, 1862
            DEATH OF COLONEL STOKES
  -- COLONEL MONTFORT SIDNEY STOKES, Commander of the 1st Regiment North 
Carolina Troops died in Richmond a few days since from a wound received in the 
battle of the 1st July. COL. STOKES had one of his legs shattered, and 
amputation was necessary. Soon after this mortification set in, and all 
efforts to save his life were unavailing. COLONEL STOKES was a son of GENERAL 
MONTFORD STOKES, who was at one time Governor of this State and a member of 
the United States Senate. He had been in the war from its commencement. He 
possessed considerable military knowledge, and had seen service before this 
war, having been Major of the regiment from this State in the war with Mexico.
He was a good officer and a worthy man, and his death will be deplored by our 
people generally.
