From Local Correspondence 
Johnstown, August 28, 1864

On Thursday last, the remains of Lieut. Harry Crouse of Co. I, 55th P. V., were 
brought to his father's residence in this place.  He had been killed the preceding 
Saturday while on the skirmish line with Grant's army.  The bullet is supposed to 
have come from a rebel sharpshooter and pierced the brain, entering above the 
right eye.  Lieut. Crouse had been in service nearly three years and had 
reenlisted. His remains were conveyed to their final resting place on Saturday, 
the funeral cortege numbering over one thousand persons, who thus testified 
their respect for the deceased and sympathy for the family
