 Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 1860-1898: October 07, 1863
Died at Birmingham, Huntingdon County, Pa., September 27th, 1863, John C. Plumer,
son of Rev. Thomas Stevenson, aged 16 years and 16 days;  he lived an exemplary
member of the Presbyterian Church. When the rebel invader was plundering the homes
and devastating the green fields of his native State, he promptly responded to the
call of the Governor, and aided in driving back the enemies of his country. When his
regiment was disbanded he returned home, carrying with him the seeds of that disease
which soon ripened into death. A violent attack of brain fever, followed by a low
typhoid, terminated all the earthly hopes and bright prospects of the young
Christian patriot. For several days before his death all intercourse with the outer
world was suspended; not even the recognition of his father, who had obtained
permission to leave his regiment and hasten to the bedside of the dying son.  His
mortal remains sleep in the graveyard of the Presbyterian church of Spruce Creek, of
which his father was once the beloved pastor.
