One by one the three were carried away, and their spirits took their fight from this life, leaving the friendship of their companions and all the busy world. The names of these worthy men were connected with the Southern Guards of Charles City, and were as follows: Robert Allen Pearce, Edward E. Haines, and Thompson F. Waddill, who was Lieutenant and acting quartermaster, a brother of Major George Waddill of the same body. The two saved providentially were Fleming Binns and Thos. J. Guy.
