Killed in the battle near Richmond Lieut. Delano W. Husted, only child of Maj. H. W. Husted, of this City.
Lieut. Husted enlisted as a private at the commencement of the war, but his good conduct and sterling qualities soon caused his promotion to a Lieutenancy in Captain Vandergriff’s company, 14th Alabama Battalion. Whilst gallantly leading his men, his young life was offered up in behalf of his country. As an officer and a man, his loss will long be deplored.
