'Died.
At Newbern, N.C., July 8, of typhoid fever, Sergeant Arthur W. Smith, of Co. H, 10th Ct. Vol., age 24 years, son of Ordnance Sergeant M. W. Smith, now stationed at Fort Adams, R.I.
From a letter written by one of his companions we learn that this young man expressed a willingness to die, having the assurance that he should hear the welcome sound 'enter into the joys prepared for you'. He leaves a wife but no children. Young Smith was a printer by trade, having worked for eight years in the office of the New Star London. He was represented as a young man who in his deportment was uniformly candid, manly and sincere. His aged parents who have yet three sons in the army, posses the consolation that his memory is without reproach.'

During the Civil War, Mr. Dayton served in Company I, 10th Connecticut Volunteer infantry. At the battle of Newbern, North Carolina, he was shot through the lungs, and for a long time hovered between life and death. His case created much interest among army medical men, because It was one of the first in which a man was known to recover from a gunshot wound in the lungs. Such a wound had always been considered fatal. The bullet fell into his shoe, and was always carried by Mr. Dayton as a watch charm.
