Sergt. Samuel Evans 

Died in Rosseau's Division Hospital, near Chattanooga, Tennessee on the 7th 
inst., after an illness of a few days, Sergt. Samuel Evans (son of Mr. Wm. Evans, 
of Cambria township, this county) aged about 23 years.  The deceased was a 
member of Co. C, 19th U. S. Infantry.  One of his comrades sends us the 
following tribute to his memory:

"In the death of Sergt. Evans, the company has lost one of its best members.  
Whether in the din of battle or in camp, he was the same cheerful, determined 
brave soldier.  In July last he was promoted Sergeant for meritorious conduct 
and alacrity in the performance of his duties.  He was respected and beloved by 
all his comrades and all regret his sudden death. His relatives and friends have 
our fullest sympathies in their bereavement."
