William Hill was a member of Co. I, 64th Ill. Vol., of Schuyler County, Oakland Township.  He was killed on the night of the 14th of August 1864, in front of Atlanta, while lying in his tent asleep.  He had returned to his tent to take rest, and had just fallen asleep when the ball entered the tent, passing over his other two bunk mates, and entered the back part of his head, coming out over the left eye.  He never spoke a word afterwards.  William was a good boy and a good soldier.  Always prompt to his duty as a soldier when able, and was well thought of by his officers and all his brother soldiers in the company.  He is missed in the company very much.  Calvin Boyles, Co. I, 64th Reg. III, Vol.  The Schuyler Citizen, September 14, 1864

Emma L. Horton died at Littleton, on Wednesday last, September 14th.  Emma L. Horton, aged 21 years and 2 months.  This sudden dispensation of providence is one most afflictive.  Sweet Emma, the object of the fondest hopes and most cherished expectations.  Her more than ordinary, happy and affectionate disposition endeared her to all, and only made the separation more painful.  But she left the sweet assurance both in her life and death that she has gone home to rest forever.  “Mother” she says, “don’t you hear that sweet music?  Don’t you hear the archangels singing?”  “What tune, Emma?”  “Oh it’s all one sweet heavenly tune.  Don’t you hear it?” and so she passed from us, in the bloom of youth.  Truly death chose a shining mark.  The Schuyler Citizen, September 21, 1864
