P. B. Fouke. He was mustered out of the service at Louisville, Ky., and discharged at Camp Butler, July 27, 1865, having won a fine military record as one of the bravest and most faithful soldiers of his regiment.

(deceased), Nellie Carter Taylor of Waverly; Charles Harry of Tobias, Neb., and William M. of Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Mitchell departed from this life in 1879.
