Just before the war a young German, John Lauth by name, came to this country and made it his home for a time with his married sister, who was a near neighbor of Miss Taylor's mother. Upon the breaking out of the war he took the field in defence of his new-found country, enlist- ing in a New York regiment. In August, 1862, his sister received a letter from him in which the following incident was related.
86 AS SEEN FROM THE RANKS His regiment, then in Virginia, had been engaged in a sharp skirmi...sh with the enemy. His company's position was such that he was in a small cemetery plot near a plantation house, and directly in front of him was one of the marble slabs. During the engagement the man on his right was killed, and the one on his left was mortally wounded. The lat- ter gave his expensive gold watch to Lauth, and told him to keep it in remembrance of their friendship. But the young German, unaccustomed to American usages and not knowing whether he would be permitted to keep it, nor, in fact, whether he might not be made a prisoner before the conflict was ended, with his bayonet dug a hole next the stone and wrapping the watch in an old handker- chief buried it there.
