All the skillful physicians and devoted nurses could do for his recovery was in vain. He retained consciousness to the last, bidding mother and loved ones adieu, and as the angels took him by one hand, he stretched forth the other saying " Good bye, Papa", and with this said, his pure spirit winged its flight through the gates into the Paradise of God...Good bye Walter.

P. C. WHEELER - Another of our soldiers is gone. From this lower sphere of action and perilous duties, he has gone to a world of rest above. We allude to P.C. WHEELER, who was killed in the battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The deceased was born in this District, on the 15th January, 1839. He was a volunteer member of 13th Regt., (Col O. E. Edwards’) and, at the time of his death had been in laborious service for nearly two years. During his camp life he maintained that exemplary, christian deportment which he was so distinguished at home. A member of the Baptist Church at Holly Springs, - he never threw off the armor of a christian - nor by deed nor speech, in the slightest degree tarnished the pious character he had assumed. Socially, he had many attractive virtues - frank, generous, brave, and true; he made a reliable friend and a superior soldier. The hopes of a christian animated him in the battles of life as well as those of the “tented field.” To the rest of the righteous he has gone.²
