Ward

  I am pained to announce that one of the bravest of our company, 
Ceylon Ward of Jackson township, died on the 4th inst.  He was a 
splendid fellow and the manner in which he handled his rifle at Shiloh 
stamped him a hero. His disease was congestion of the brain.

Capt. Williams, Co. C, 19th Regular Infantry, May 13,1862, printed in
