November 17.—Poor Mr. Groover is at last released from all his sufferings. Last night at 9 o’clock his spirit took its flight. He died at peace with his God. His wife has been with him about a week, and is much consoled that she has had the privilege of ministering to his last wants. She has two children, and has lost two brothers, two brothers-in-law, and now her husband, in this unholy conflict.
Dr. Hughes, who is very kind to the patients, and doing all in his power to alleviate their sufferings, has had Mr. G. moved into a room by himself, and every thing about him as comfortable as possible , Mrs. and Miss Lowe, ladies of the place, were with Mrs. G. at the time of her husband’s death.
I have made the acquaintance of some very nice people here. Among them Mr. Dougherty’s family; he keeps a hotel near us. He has three married daughters, highly educated and refined ladies, He is what is called an Irish-Scotchman, and two of his daughters are named respectively, Caledonia and Hibernia. He is a native of that town of historic fame, Londonderry.
John Munroe, a member of the Second Alabama Regiment, died to-day. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and he died perfectly happy. Mr. Neligen, the head nurse of the ward in which he was, has written to his wife. She lives in Coosa County, Alabama.
