Dick - for your use - Linda Soldier's Funeral. The funeral of Henry Baldwin was held at the Methodist Church in Caryville, on Sunday, the 31st inst., at ten o'clock. The deceased fell at the battle of Cedar Mountain, August 9th, 1862, while facing the enemies of his country, and battling to sustain the Constitution and laws of his land. Prompted by a love of country, he enlisted in Capt. Fenn's company soon after the fall of Fort Sumter. Although scarcely more than seventeen, he did not hesitate, when he saw his country's flag trampled upon by traitors, to buckle on the armor and go forth and assist in again planting the old flag in every State where it had been insulted. It was no boyish freak that thus moved him to sacrifice the comforts and enjoyments of home for the hardships and privations of the battle field, but a manly fortitude that welled up in his breast. He left his friends and home, as he said, expecting to lay down his life and pour out his blood to sustain his country. His name will be enrolled among the martyrs for freedom on the bright scroll of liberty, when the names of traitors and cowards are buried in oblivion. "He is gone to the grave - we no longer behold him, Nor tread the rough paths of the world by his side; But his country will love him with deepest emotions, Because like a soldier he fought, bled, and died." * ~ Republican Advocate, Batavia, Genesee Co., NY September 2-1862.
