William W. Davis

Soldier Dead:  By a letter from Sergt. Wm. W. Evans, written in Libby Prison, 
Richmond, to his friends here, we learn that William W. Davis, a member of Co. A, 11th 
Penna. Reserves, who has been missing from his company since the battle of 
Fredericksburg, died in the Rebel Bastile on the 24th December.  He had been wounded 
in the leg so severely as to necessitate amputation, from the effects of which operation he 
failed to recover.  The deceased resided in Cambria township and was an estimable 
young man.  He was aged about 22 years.
