charged on the rebel works, and captured with them 10,000 prisoners and forty
pieces of artillery. My regiment was on the front line, and lost a great many
officers and men. We have fifty men and seven officers left. I was not hurt,
but saved by the hand of Providence." At the time of his death, June 4th. 1864,
near the termination of his three years' term of service, he had survived twenty-
three severe battles and skirmishes, and, in a letter to his brother, Hon. H. L.
Humphrey, written but a few days prior to his death, describing the seven days
Wilderness fight, he predicted that he should not be killed in battle; and so it
proved, as he was instantly killed by the bullet of a rebel sharpshooter, while
changing the picket lines the day after the battle of Cold Harbor, Va. He was
First Sergeant of his company; was deeply beloved and lamented by his comrades
and many friends. His commission of Lieutenant in his regiment was at his
corps (Second Corps) Head-Quarters at the time of his death.
