The Alleghanian. (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865: October 23, 1862
Another of our brave heroes has fallen! Corporal Evan P. James, of Co. A, 11th
Penna. Reserves, whose parents reside in Cambria township, died in hospital at
Philadelphia on Thursday last, of typhoid fever. His remains were brought here on
Saturday, and on Sunday committed to their last resting place. At his death, the
deceased was in full bloom of vigorous youth, some 23 years old we should think, and
much beloved by his many friends and acquaintances. The illness resulting in his
death was a long and painful one, extending over a period of three months. He, in
common with the regiment to which he belonged, was captured by the Rebels at the
bloody battle of Gaines' Hill, before Richmond, the long and tedious confinement
ensuing engendering the seeds of disease in his frame. Thus is the responsibility
resting upon the leaders of the Slaveholders' Rebellion cause of untold misery,
sorrow and death day by day enhanced. "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord - I will
repay."
