Sam died. Fell at the battle near Boonsborough, Maryland on Sunday the 14th. Thought to have initially died at Harper’s Ferry but he wasn’t near Harper’s Ferry. General Garnett had fallen in Harper’s Ferry and the similarity in the names had caused the confusion. Brother Landon’s son, Maurice, who was Sam’s aide, accompanied his remains. He had telegraphed twice but no dispatch was recorded. He had joined the church two years ago and was a consistent and praying Christian.
