Note N15331DIED,
On Thursday evening, April 20th, at 6 o'clock, at the residence of his parents in this city, James L. O. Huston, son of S. J. and Elizabeth Huston aged 20 years, 5 months and 2 days.
Our young friend has fallen in the bloom and vigor of youth, and his bereaved relatives and large circle of friends and companions mourn his untimely departure. A few weeks since, being in bad health, he returned home on sick leave, from the Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. where he was prosecuting his studies. Typhoid fever seized upon him and he laid down to die. On the day that his furlough expired, he breathed his last, and was released from all earthly duty. He was a young man of fine talents and possessed many excellent traits of character, as all who knew him can testify.
