CHAPTER I1.
The Regiment had its own cemetery
and for a while we had funerals al-
most every day; the row of grave
mounds grew rapidly longer; every
soldier was buried with military hon-
ors.
We went to and from the burying
ground in regular procession, led by
the Drum: Corps, playing the “Dead
March,” and all keeping step to the
slow and measured strains of the sad
dirge of the softly played fifes and
muffled drums. Following the Drum
Corps marched the Chaplain, Bible in
in hand; next the pall bearers, carry-
ing the dead, and lastly, the guard of
honor with arms reversed. On reach-
ing the grave the guard of honor lined
up on each side of it; the service and
prayer followed; the dead was lowered
into the grave over which three volleys
were fired; the guns brought to the
‘‘shoulder,” the “muflles’’ were re-
moved from the drums and the Drum
Corps struck up a lively “quick step,”
loud and clear to the music of which
we marched back to our quarters with
life and spirit unbecoming a funeral
occasion and we wondered what had
become of the finer qualities of these
erstwhile quiet, sympathetic home
boys; callousness and savagery is the
training of war.
Many of the men who were stricken
with this mysterious ailment weakeu-
ed very rapidly under excessive fever,
accompanied generally by great deliri-
um, during which the sick were rest-
less and unruly; some died in a few
days, others lingered a few weeks,
while in light attacks the men were
convalescent in eight or ten days, but
in all cases came out greatly debilita-
ted, regaining strength slowly; gloom
settled over the eamp.
One night, midnight, I feit
gloomy I could not remain in the tent;
the night was pitch dark and rainy.
Saffering from a light attack I walked
down the Co. Street. Iu a number of
tents there was considerable
tion; many of the stricken boys,
in delirium, were determined to leave
their twig vests on the ground aod go
out; they had to be forcibly restrained.
In tent “*No. 5," occupied by Madison-
burg boys, they were all sick except
two, one of which was Bamuel R. Get-
tig, who had been appointed as nurse,
and he had a terrible trouble with his
patients. They refused to take medi-
cine and made determined efforts to
leave the teni; they would argue loud-
ly and tussei with Gettig. James Bier-
ly, especially, was loud and solicitous
in behalf of an imaginary comrade; he
loudly ealled for help for him and for
whom he plead to have a letter written
to his home. He continued delirious
to the hour of his death on the fol
lowing day; he was the second or
third to die by this malady, iu this
tent, only a few days apartl.
In this tent was the greatest misery
and I stood outside and listeved, and
meditated for an hour, It was sad to
pee and hear these boys struggling in
the grip of ibis malady. Far from
their homes, sick snd dying on the
ground, in cold, damp tents, no com-
forts, rude care and nursing; only the
coarse food that the commissary sup-
lied, snow and rain, storm and gloom
outside. At ope time jhere were only
seven well persons in our whole com-
pany aud they were all busy waiting
on the sick. Blowly this malady sub-
sided; deaths were less frequent. The
inclement conditions of the weather
from January to April were so extraor-
dinary that we feel justified in making
a note of it, since we lived right init
sud suffered greatly in consequence,
The great rain storm which com-
menced on January 20th, 1863, and
stopped the army in its march on the
21st, continued almost constantly for
more than a week, ending with a
gnow-fall of eight inohes on the 20th,
followed by & week of extremely cold
weather. The last of this snow went
into mud on the 3rd of February and
8 new snow of three inches took its
lage on the 5th, which was cut out
heavy rein onthe fith. Three fair
days were followed by s rain spell,
which continued one week, ending in
soow on the 21st, continued snowing
all of the 22nd and gave us a snow over
# foot In depth. This snow lay three
days dyring which time it was very
gold; on February 36th heavy rain set
in and rained steady for several days,
driving out the big snow. The first
few days of March were moderately
fair and were devoted to drills and re-
