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.
