Thomas W. Giles, one of the Cadiz company, that was wounded at Pittsburg Landing, arrived at home on last Saturday evening. He has been for the past month at the St. Louis Hospital. He was shot through the left hip with a musket ball. His wound is doing very well; and he thinks that by using cane he will in a short time be able again to shoulder his musket in defence of the Constitution and the Union.
Silar Kurtz, son of John W. Kurtz, Esq., formerly of West Chester, in this county, was killed at the battle of Pittsburg Landing. He was shot through the heart, and was one of the first that fell. His regiment, the 55th Illinois, was one of the first regiments attacked by the rebels. Young Kurtz was much respected by all who knew him, but the sad casualities of war cut him down in the vigor of promising manhood.—Tuscarawas Advocate.
Mr. Thomas Holliday, Jr., of Freeport, in this county, was killed in the battle of Pittsburg Landing. He belonged to Gen. Sherman’s staff. He was an excellent young man.
Mr. John Bradbury, formerly of Cadiz, was killed in the same battle. He belonged to an Illinois regiment.
