A couple of weeks ago, I posted an entry on Samuel Sarver who had been a member of the 59th Ohio Infantry.
A reader found some a brief mention of this soldier and was kind enough to share it. I've pasted it below.
Dies of a Broken Heart.
Newport, Ky., March 11--Samuel Sarver, a well-known pioneer riverman, died of a broken heart. His venerable wife had passed away less than a week ago, and grief in losing his companion of almost a half a century caused his own death.
