Obituary

The sad news of the death of three members of Co. C, 1st Iowa Calvary, murdered by guerrillas in St. Clair county, Missouri, was received here yesterday, casting a shadow over our people. The news came in a private letter from W.A. Clark, of the same company, and the only one of the foraging party who escaped unhurt. Harbach and Cameron were from Burlington, young men of much promise, twenty one of two years of age. Higgins, about the same age, we think was from the northern part of the county. Stoddard, also about the same age, is from West Point, Lee county. He is wounded in the arm and will probably recover. Young Harbach had one brother, who ws a member of the 1st Iowa-is now in the 11th Regulars with Gen. mcClellean. His father is Captain of 1st iowa Battery, now with General Curtis in Arkansas.
