In announcing and commenting on the death of Caleb Home, the 

 "Delaware County American and Media Advertiser," in its issue of 

 February loth, 1864, says : "At New York, on the 30th ult., Caleb 

 Home, of Delaware County, aged 21 years, a member of the 97th Regi- 

 ment, Pa. Vol." 



In another column it goes more fully into the details of his death as 

 follows: "Death of a Soldier. — Caleb Home, of Company I, 97th Regi- 

 ment, son of George and Sarah Home, of Springfield, Delaware County, 

 died in New York, while returning home on the 27tli of January. He 

 was in the 24th year of his age. The disease to which he was a victim 

 was the chronic diarrhoea, from which he has been suffering since Aug- 

 ust last. His discharge was asked for long since, that he might die at 

 home, but was refused by ignorant and heartless officers. His body was 

 brought home by Undertaker Minshall, of Chester, and interred from 

 the residence of his parents, in the Upper Providence Friends' Burying 

 Ground."
