GEORGE DAW SON. 63 



out with my regiment in August, 1862, and died in An- 

 dersonville prison September 18, 1864. His wife received 

 the pay for nearly a year after he died, or for the full term 

 of his enlistment, some $624, all to one family. 



George Dawson was a member of the Baptist Church, 

 a Sunday-school teacher and lay preacher. A noble man 

 and a most charming one to be in camp with. Entirely 

 without ostentation, his acts of charity were known to 

 but few, and if within his power his pencil would be drawn 

 through most of these lines, written by one who is proud 

 to have known him and to have called him friend.
