Two soldiers from Company F died today. Private Thomas Franklin and Private Nathaniel C. Jones were both from Bond County and died today in Memphis.
The regimental hospital was on one of the main streets in Memphis. Through the front window, several times each day, could be seen a slow-moving ambulance carrying a pine coffin containing the dead body of a soldier. Ahead of the ambulance was a small military band playing a dirge, and behind the ambulance was a squad of soldiers with reversed arms.
The parade ended out in the suburbs, where there was a soldier's cemetery.
