From The Greensborough Patriot
June 12, 1862 – Pg. 3
DEATHS.
Died.—At
his father’s residence, in the county of Rockingham, on Sunday evening the 18th
of May, of typhoid fever, Mr. James Peyton Holderby, in the 27th
year of his age. He was among the first
to volunteer in defense of his country in the present war—was taken sick some
ten days before the battle at Williamsburg and reached home in almost a
helpless condition the day after the expiration of the term for which he
entered the service. He was a patriot,
died in a hold cause, and left consoling evidences to his friends that “all is
now well with him.”
Peace to ashes!
A FRIEND.
