Munro, Felix
DIED--April 5th, 1868, in the Hospital at Nashville, Tenn., Mr. FELIX MUNRO, son of Mr. William Munro, of Deer Creek, Ill., in the 23d year of his age.
This young man, at his country's call, left his home, and with many others of his acquaintance enlisted in the 80th Reg't of Illinois of his country, in the march, in the camp, or in battle; and what is better, he was a faithful and dutiful soldier of the cross of Christ. If called to teach in the Sabbath School, or lead in the prayer-meeting, he was ready to do his duty.
His disease, which lasted only fifteen days, was pneumonia, contracted while on picket duty. His pastor spent three days with him in Nashville, before he died; and his father, being detained three days in Louisville, only reached him in time to attend his funeral.
"Blessed are the dead," &c. ---W. T. A.
Presbyterian Banner, Pittsburgh, PA 27 May 1863
