The Weekly Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio. Jan 16, 1862, p. 3.
DIED.

At New Westfield, on the 2d inst., of Typhoid Fever, Henry B., eldest son of 
Tobias and Louisa Ruidesill, in the 20th year of his age.

	The deceased belonged to the 49th regiment, and was taken sick at Camp 
Nevin, sometime in November last.  When the army moved to Green river, the sick 
were sent to Louisville, Kentucky.  The family received a letter from him, on 
Saturday, Dec. 28, stating that he would, if possible, like to return home.  
Thinking a change for him might prove beneficial, his father left immediately, 
and arrived at Louisville, where, at the Planter's hotel, in a large room, he 
found his son, in company with about one hundred others, in various stages of 
disease. - On consultation with the physician in attendance, Mr. Ruidesill was 
assured that it would be safe to move him, as was contemplated.  But unhappily, 
the sick declined more rapidly than was anticipated, so that he could proceed 
no father than New Westfield.  Here the family met him and everything was done 
that could be suggested by affection and medical skill, but in vain.  He was 
deeply affected when his mother came, and what seemed to be his last wish was 
gratified - to die in the arms of his parents and in the midst of his dear 
kindred.  The funeral services were attended on Saturday, 4th inst., at the 
Presbyterian church of Bowling Green.  A gret number were present to sympathize 
with the bereaved.  Parents were there, and sisters and wives were there, 
attracted by the cause in which this young man died, who wept in remembrance of 
their own dear absent ones.  TO the parents, it should be a matter of rejoicing 
that a son should die in so good a cause; that he died with a firm reliance 
upon the merits of a crucified Redeemer; that God, in his kind providence, 
returned him in a state to recognize and reciprocate their affection to him; to 
tell them of his love of the Bible and prayer, and that he died a christian. 
Seeds of divine Truth, early sown in faith, nurtured by prayer and christian 
example, seldom fail to yield thus a harvest unto eternal life.
