Barnes) are reported: “Judson A. Robinson died on the 13th, and Sergeant Barnes on the 16th of March. They were both young men of good standing, good habits, and flattering prospects in life. The loss is irreparable – much respected by officers and men – always prompt to duty, and always did their duty without complaining. Both are martyrs to their country, who have sacrificed their lives to maintain our glorious Government, assailed by a band of [the] most fiendish traitors that ever disgraced a nation on the face of the earth.”
