The Weekly Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio. Dec 17, 1862, p. 3.
DIED.

	On the 16th of November last, in the hospital at Mitchelville, 
Tennessee, of typhoid fever, John A. Fox, Jr., of Company H., Fourth Michigan 
Cavalry, aged 21 years 1 month and 5 days.

	He was a native of Webster township, and leaves parents, brothers and 
sisters, who deeply mourn his loss.  He became a volunteer in the private ranks 
of his country's defenders, and gave up his life cheerfully to the performance 
of military duty.

	His surgeon writes thus to his parents:  He came under my treatment 
five days before his death.  We gave him a decent Christian burial, on land 
owned by Mr. Woodal, where several members of the regiment are buried.  Their 
graves are marked.  Your son said but little, and did not appear to suffer much 
after he was taken sick.  He was a kind, quiet, gentlemanly young man, and his 
comrades say always brave, and a good faithful soldier.  We mourn him as 
another brave and true man fallen at the post of duty. Let this be your 
consolation.  Accept my earnest sympathy with you and yours in this severe 
affliction, and believe me

	Very truly yours, Geo W. Fish,

	Surgeon Fourth Michigan Cavalry.
