DIED.

	on the 19th of August, 1862, of chronic diarrhea, David Brown, of the 
67th Ohio Regiment.

	Obituary - The following, taken from a letter addressed to the father 
of the subject of this notice, by W.W. Much, Hospital Chaplain, will furnish 
all that can be known respecting his death:

	"Dear Sir: This letter is to convey to you the sad news of your loss in 
the death of David Brown, Company H, 67th Ohio Volunteers, August 19, 1862, at 
5 o'clock a.m. of chronic diarrhea.  His His [sic] death was so unexpected to 
us all, we have but few particulars of his case to relate.  He told me, the 
last time I saw him, he did not want anything so much as to go home. He said he 
felt that his peace was made with God, and that he could trust all to the 
keeping of Jesus Christ."

	The following, also, from the captain of his company, bears honorable 
testimony to his conduct as a soldier:

	"The manner in which David conducted himself at the battle of 
Winchester, and subsequently, proved to my mind that he was endowed with true 
courage.  He was among the foremost, and stood fearlessly out, defying the 
death-dealing missiles of the enemy.  He did, indeed, display great bravery on 
that battle-field.  Besides, he was possessed of a kind disposition, and with 
good grace and alacrity obeyed all the commands form his superior officers."

	This is high praise.  It is enough.  Who could have done more or better 
than he?  TO know this, that a son has been faithful to the high trust 
committed to him in every duty, as a soldier, and that he died with a firm 
trust in the Savior of sinners, should take away all the bitterness of 
bereavement.
