The name of the private who died in camp last Thursday, was Lyman McNair. He was from Robert’s Station, Jasper county. Congestion of the brain was the cause of his death.
William Miller, Jackson county, died last Friday morning, also of congestion of the brain. H was about nineteen years old.
H. B. McMicken, of Homestead, Iowa Co., died yesterday morning at half past one o’clock. Congestive chills caused his death. He was in apparently good health on Sunday morning, and died in a little over twelve hours after he was taken sick. So many deaths following in such rapid succession is unprecedented for Camp McClellan.
