Marietta Register, June 19, 1867
A SOLDIER'S FUNERAL - The body of Lycurgus Bishop, a member of Capt. 
Huntington's Battery, was brought home on last (Wednesday) night, by his 
father, Mr. Newton Bishop, of this vicinity. The deceased was wounded in the 
heel at the battle of Chancellorsville, the injury not being considered 
dangerous.  The wound, however, became so much inflamed that amputation below 
the knee was decided on and performed.  The inflammation continued, until the 
fastenings were severed, and the unfortunate man died from the hemorhage which 
ensued.

He will be buried from the Unitarian Church, in this place, at 1 P.M. on 
Friday, the 19th inst.

(This obituary doesn't really give the actual date of death.  After checking 
he is buried in Mound Cemetery and the tombstone shows 1863.)
