 mortally wounded or killed in battle thirty-one men and seven 

 officers ; died in the. service, twenty-seven men and three officers, 

 besides one man murdered and six others who died while pris-

 the service during or soon after the war. Thus there was a loss 

 of eighty-two of our townsmen, most of whom were citizens at

 privation and exposure. In addition to the casualties above,
