Death Of A Soldier

Mr. Henry Love, of Washington county, died yesterday morning at the residence of Mr. McEwen, on the Jersey Ridge road.  When camp McClellan was broken up, Mr. Love was removed to McEwen’s house, sick, and supposed to be deranged.  He sank gradually till he died.  He was quite young, and a new recruit for the 16th Iowa regiment.
