LLEWELLYN D GOODRICH

A CAPTIAN AND SIX MEN OF THE FOURTH WISCONSIN KILLED – At the recent engagements between the rebel ram Lancaster and the Federal gunboats on the Yazoo river, an account of which we published last week, twenty men of the 4th Wisconsin Regiment on board the Tyler acting as sharpshooters under the command of Capt. Lynn, of Sparta, Monroe County. A shell from the ram burst among them and the Captain and six men were killed and two wounded. We regret that Lu. Goodrich of Gravesville was one of the killed and that John Doyle of this town was slightly wounded in the head and shoulders. Lu. was a brave and intelligent young man and a good soldier. His loss will be deeply regretted by all who knew him. He is a brother-in-law of Ira Graves.
Chilton Times – August 2, 1862

He was buried on the banks of the Mississippi River, near the intersection of the Yazoo River, with the other Wisconsin soldiers killed 15 July 1862 near the city of Vicksburg, Mississippi (reference, Michael J. Martin's Book, ISBN #1-932714-18-9). Page 90 of the book cites a letter of condolence written by Colonel Paine regarding the death of Llewellyn's commanding officer, Captain Lynn who also was killed in that battle between the USS Tyler and the Confederate gunboat Arkansas, indicating, although he wished to preserve the body of Captain Lynn, "he now sleeps by the side of the brave young men who fell with him, on the bank of the Mississippi".
