812    DR. DONOHO

From: Clarksville Weekly Chronicle

October 12,1860---The announcement of the death of Dr. Donoho, which occurred Monday evening last, was a sad and melancholy one to this entire community. He had lived in this place for about twenty-five years, and was held in the highest esteem, in all the relations of life. In his profession he justly ranked very high; while in social life his genial good nature, his ripe mind, and his varied intelligence, combined made him a general favorite. He had been, for many years, a member of the Episcopal Church, and died in the strongest enjoyment of a Christian�s faith and hope.



813    FIELDING

From: Clarksville Weekly Chronicle

October 12,1860---A negro man, named Fielding, who belonged to Mr. W.H. Bryarly, of this city, but was hired to Mr. Cobb, of the New York Mills, in this county, was killed, at the Mills, on Tuesday last, by another negro belonging to Mr. Cobb. They had some altercation about a mule, as we learn, and in the course of the quarrel Cobb�s negro seized a stick and struck Fielding on the head with it, breaking his skull. His master and Dr. Johnson went out to the Mills as soon as intelligence of the affair was brought to town, but he was dead when they got there. Mr. Bryarly, we may mention, had the body of Fielding, who was an old family servant, brought to town for burial. The negro who killed him, we are told, ran off, and has not since been caught.

818    BENJAMIN W. COLEMAN

From: Clarksville Weekly Chronicle

September 15,1865--Died at the residence of his father, near Allensville, Kentucky, on the 12th, Benjamin W. Coleman.

The subject of this notice resided in this community for a number of years, and won a host of friends, who will read this announcement, with unfeigned sorrow, and long cherish his memory as a tender recollection of the highest integrity of character and all manly virtues.

November 17,1865--Among the thousands of noble young men who have fallen victim to the horrid war through which we have passed, we are called to number our promising young friend, Benjamin W. Coleman. When the tocsin of war first sounded in the town of Clarksville, and the call was made for volunteers, this noble and generous young man abandoned his pecuniary interest, and seized his musket to avenge, what he considered his country�s wrongs, and peril his life and fortune in what he believed a righteous cause. Bravely did he bear the tolls and dangers of the campaign, marching firmly to the blazing muzzle of the enemy�s cannon, or shouting with his comrades in the bayonet charge, or lying wounded and sick in a cheerless hospital, always patient and true to his principles, and never murmuring at the hardness of his lot.

At home he was beloved and honored, and in the army he was a favorite with those who knew him. Most of his military life was spent in Virginia, his native state, and the thunders of more than five hundred cannon that shook Petersburg and vicinity, were heard and felt at his birth place, near which he was bravely battling for the old Dominion and the South.

Naturally delicate in health, he was poorly able to endure the privations and wearisome service of a soldier. His health failed, and for eight weeks together, away from the tender care of mother and sister and father and brothers, he suffered the horrors of Typhoid Fever, followed by that scourge of the camp, Chronic Diarrhea, from which he never recovered.

After the surrender of Lee�s army he was brought home in a very prostrate and helpless condition. Filled with gratitude to God for bringing him again to the parental roof, and blessing his eyes with the sight of those whom he loved, he bore his continued illness with perfect patience and fortitude; he never complained. His Bible was his companion as long as he was able to read. He spoke calmly of his approaching death---exhorted his friends not to weep for him, but to try to meet him in Heaven. He frequently exclaimed �All is right! I shall not be lost! my troubles will all be in this world!� When he was passing through the valley of the shadow of death, his brother, E.W. Coleman, of the Tennessee Conference, asked him, �Ben, do you know you are dying?� He replied without hesitation, �Yes, all is right with me!� When he could no longer speak, he was asked if he still felt that all was well; he bowed his head in affirmation, and soon died in the arms of Jesus, while a beautiful smile lingered on his countenance.

St passed away one of the best young men of our country. The only regret he expressed in regard to his death was that he could not live to comfort and care for his parents in their declining years. He died in Todd County, Kentucky, September 12,1865, aged 33 years. �Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are.
While on his breast, I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.�

December 22,1865--Clarksville Lodge, No. 89, F.A.M.
