 The agitator.: (Wellsborough, Tioga County, Pa.): April 01, 1863
At Bell's Landing, Va., on the 6th ult., of inflammation of the lungs, Benjamin
Hughes, in the 24th year of his age. He was a member of company G, 149th Regiment,
Pa. Vols. His body was embalmed and sent by Express to Blossburg, where it arrived
on the 13th, and was received by his sorrowing parents. He was buried on the 15th
with military honors. Services by Rev. Mr. Hammond of Covington. The great number
present (being upward of seven hundred and fifty) of the people of Liberty, Bloss,
Morris Run and Fall Brook, testified eloquently of their attachment to him in life.
It was agreeable (even in the sound of deep mourning) to hear so many of his
acquaintances saying, “He had no enemy on earth."
