Two More Cambria Soldiers Dead:  William W. Evans and Benjamin Davis

We are grieved to have to announce the death in Richmond prison of two more 
of Cambria's brave sons – Sergt. William W. Evans of Co. A, 11th Pa. Reserves 
and Benjamin Davis of Co. C, 19th Regular Infantry.  The former was wounded 
in the thigh at the battle of Fredericksburg where he fought long and valiantly; 
the latter on the hotly contested field of Murfreesboro – both falling into the 
hands of the enemy.  Sergt. Evans was a resident of this place and leaves a 
widowed mother and several brothers and sisters to mourn his untimely loss. 
Young Davis lived in Cambria township.
