The following info sent by: Susan (#47712735)
Captain Marcus C. Horton was passing along in the rear of the line when a shot from a Confederate Sharpshooter hit him in the forehead. He dropped dead instantly without a struggle or groan. Captain Horton was one of nature's noblemen, kind, and generous to a fault. He was loved by all who knew him. His uncomplaining endurance of fatigue, hardships, wants, and his coolness in the scenes of danger and strife marked him as one of the bravest of the brave. A half dozen men of Company D carried him to his resting place.
