| Ebensburg Alleghanian, 29 May 1862, Contributed by Patty Millich |
| Ward I am pained to announce that one of the bravest of our company, Ceylon Ward of Jackson township, died on the 4th inst. He was a splendid fellow and the manner in which he handled his rifle at Shiloh stamped him a hero. His disease was congestion of the brain. [This information contained in a letter written by one of the men in Capt. Williams, Co. C, 19th Regular Infantry, May 13,1862, printed in this edition of The Alleghanian] |
