| Notes |
- February 25, 1863 Issue:
Departed this life Jan. 28th 1863 at Camp Whiting, near Wilmington, NC,
David W. Johnson, son of T. O. Johnson of Harnett Co.. He volunteered in company I, 31st regiment,
NC Troops, in October 1861. He was a faithful, worthy and brave soldier, was never known to miss or
neglect one duty from the time he volunteered up to the day of his death, and on the evening previous
to his death his brother asked him why he went to dress-parade while suffering with such pain; he recalled
he intended to be at his post and do his duty as long as he lived. The next morning at the sound of the
reveille he arose from his hard bed with an aching head, and fevered pulse, went into line, answered to
his name, returned back and laid down and died in a short time. His friends and associated looked upon
his cold form with sad hearts, and felt they had lost one of the best of soldiers. He was never known
to murmur or complain at any hardship, but bore all with great patience and Christian fortitude. He was
a kind and affectionate son and brother. N. A. B.
