"Gone to his Regiment" from the September 15, 1864 Door County Advocate
GONE TO HIS REGIMENT.—Lieut. JOE HARRIS, jr., has started for and ere this probably has joined his regiment, the 36th. We fear he will miss many of his comrades for some are prisoners, many are wounded, and some "sleep the sleep that knows not waking." In the desperate battle of Reams' Station, on the Weldon Road, it (the 36th) was badly cut up: but 115 men were left, and only 25 fit for duty.
—By a letter from HARRY, Lieutenant Harry now, of the 43d Wisconsin, we learn that he is now with that regiment in Milwaukee. He was with the gallant Twelfth—at the front and in the fight—through all of Sherman's Georgia campaign, which has already resulted in the capture of Atlanta. A brave, true, manly private, Harry will make a popular and efficient officer. He earned and deserved his promotion.
—Mr. FULLMER (we don't know whether to call him Reverend or Captain) is also in camp at Milwaukee with his men. Our boy RUSTAN, (typographically speaking—properly speaking Mr. REED'S boy) who was one of the volunteers from this town, and whom it was thought would go in the Navy, has enlisted with him.
