Augustine G. M'Ateer

Died on Monday, Feb. 9, 1863, at the General Hospital on Bedloe's Island, 
Augustine G. M'Ateer of Company G., 12th Pa. Cavalry, aged 19 years.

The deceased was a resident of Loretto, Cambria County, which place he left on 
January, 1, 1862, under Capt. Hartman.  The company were quartered in Camp 
McReynolds near Philadelphia until May when they moved to Manassas Junction 
where they remained until McClellen retired from the Peninsula.  The 12th 
Cavalry then fell back to Alexandria where Augustine took sick on the 11th of 
September.  He was taken to Mt. Pleasant Hospital, Washington, where he 
remained until the battle of Fredericksburg when he was removed to Bedloe's 
Island.  The deceased was much loved by his companions, both at home and in 
the field, who deeply mourn a comrade gone.
