From the "National Aegis," (Worcester, MA), 1 June 1872, in part:
Charles L. Rice, when a boy folded and carried papers for the "Spy" office; was at the time of his enlistment clerk in a store in this city; enlisted in Co. H, 25th Regiment.... He was in engagements at Roanoke Island, New Berne, Kingston, Whitehall, Goldsborough, Arrowfield Church, and Drury's Bluff, where he was taken prisoner, and remained in rebel prisons ... till he died.
His family, after making every effort to ascertain his place of burial and recover his body, without success, erected a memorial stone for him in the Rural Cemetery.
This is a Memorial Cenotaph.
