1862, 1 July: Wounded at Melvin Hill.
1864, 9 July: Killed at Monocacy River, "near Frederick, MD.
Poem by Joseph Madison Williamson's mother, Harriet Ellen (Buckelew) Williamson:
"In sixty-four, July the ninth,
In Maryland he fell;
My spirit sickens and grows faint,
This mournful tale to tell.
"Near Fredrick City now he lies,
Close by where he fell;
Oh, tender mothers! sympathies
While I my story tell:
He had no tender mother there
To raise his dying head,
Or shed a sympathetic tear,
Or speak a loving word.
"The deadly missile pierced the cheek
That I've so often kissed;
Tender mothers, come and weep;
Oh he's so sadly missed!
He had kind friends to lay him out,
And place him in the shade,
And heave a tender sigh, no doubt
To know that he was dead."
