> > > Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, Saturday, April 23, 1892 DEATH OF JAMES H. GALBREATH James H. Galbreath, an old soldier, is dead. Born May 13th, 1838. He early united with the Christian church. He volunteered in the U.S. regulars and served six months. Afterwards enlisted in Co. H. of the 135th regiment Indiana volunteers and was mustered in May 23 and out Sept. 29, 1864, for the "hundred days service". Whether on picket guard, facing the enemy's fire on fields of battle, or under the surgeon's knife, his patriotism never deserted him. Died April 15, 1892. Funeral services at his residence, Rev. Thomas Shanklin officiating. He was to all a friend, generous and true, and everyone who knew him was a friend to him. Strange coincidence, this noble hearted man died in his country's service, carrying the mails. The homage of his country, his comrades and his fellow men belong to him which is more lasting than bronze or marble. Beautiful site, his comrades forming again in line of march, twenty-two in number, carrying in their midst the flag he loved so well. They marched to the Linden cemetery, where with him lie buried an equal number of the nation's dead, and there planted on his grave the laurel and the arbor vitae, and over all the stars and stripes.
