Private John W. Edwards (Co. D) from Taylorville died at Memphis today.
Charles Johnson describes the fate of one of his friends about this time:
A comrade of mine, a warm friend, was taken seriously sick and had to be removed to our regimental hospital. That he might have special care and be made as comfortable as possible, I accompanied him thither and remained with him some weeks, till his friends came from the North and took him home to die.
