 Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.) December 16, 1863
Died near Bealeton Station, Va., September 9th, in the 19th year of his age, Mr. W.
J. M. Sloan, of Clarion County, Pa. The deceased was the “Benjamin" of the
household, and a child of the covenant. Cherishing a truly loyal spirit, he enlisted
in the service of his country in August, 1862, as member of Co. K, 148th Reg't P. V.
Prompt and faithful in the performance of his duties, and gentlemanly in his
deportment, he won the esteem of his comrades and officers. Nobly struggling for his
country, he passed unharmed through the battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg.
But he was shortly afterwards prostrated by a sun stroke, which was followed by
fever. His sufferings were borne without a murmur, and after lingering for a few
weeks, he was released from the toils and trials and pains of his warfare. Beloved
in life, he is mourned in death by a deeply afflicted family and large circle of
friends. His body was brought home and laid beside his brother David's who also had
died in his country's service. Side by side they rest in the quiet graveyard of
Greenville, there to await the trumpet call of the great resurrection.
