Soldiers Killed in Action or Died from Wounds

Following is a list of men from northwest Wisconsin who were either killed in action or died from wounds received in action.

REMEMBERED AND MOURNED.—For every man who falls in battle some one mourns.—For every man who dies in hospital wards, and of whom no note is made, some one mourns.  For the humblest soldier shot on picket, and of whose humble exit from the stage of life little is thought, some one mourns.  Nor this alone.  For every soldier disabled ;  for every one who loses an arm or leg, or who is wounded or languishes in protracted suffering ;  for every one who has “only camp fever,” some heart bleeds, some tears are shed.  In far-off humble households, perhaps, sleepless nights and anxious days are passed of which the world never knows ;  and every wounded soldier who returns to his family or friends brings a lasting pang with him.  Oh how the mothers feel this war !  If ever God is sad in Heaven, it seems to me it must be when he looks upon the hearts of mothers.—We who are young think little of it ;  neither, I think do the fathers or the brothers think much of it ;  but it is the poor mothers and wives of the soldiers.  God help them.  (from The Prescott Journal, December 10, 1862)
