John H. Stealy
Steuben Republican 8 Mar 1862, P.3 clm 1
	
Died--  At Calhoun, KY, February 21, 1862 of typhoid fever, John H. Stealy, 
Regiment Bugler of the 44th Regiment Indiana Volunteers, aged 22 years 3 
months and 10 days.  It is but a few short months ago, we beheld our young 
friend in the prime of life.  He left us for the devout purpose of helping to
crush this monster rebellion, and as we bid him goodbye, little did we dream 
that we should so soon be called upon to record his death.  But he has gone, 
his place in the ranks is vacant.  He has sacrificed his life for a glorious 
cause and although he did not die upon the battlefield, yet he died just as 
much a hero as if he had died at the cannons mouth.  His remains were borne 
to their last resting place on Sunday last, on which occasion, Elder Miner 
preached an appropriate sermon in the church in this place, as his 
brother had brought his body from Calhoun to Angola for internment.
