• Notes

  (Research):Mr. Henry Clay Senteney, an account of whose visit here was given some weeks since, returned to his home at Des Moines, Iowa, stopping on the way at Louisiana, Mo., to visit a sister-in-law, widow of Colonel Francis Senteney, who commanded the Second Missouri Confederate Infantry and was killed during the siege ot Vicksburg. He met his death at night while his Regiment was lying down, a chance bullet striking him in the eye and passing through his head just as he was in the act of rising from his reclining posture. Mr. Henry Senteney, who was a member of Colonel Boone's Twenty-eighth Kentucky Federal Regiment, had the body disinterred sometime after the war and removed for burial at his home. He had been burled on the field where he fell, and when he was removed his uniform and boots, with spurs, were found in nearly a perfect condition. He was taken to Louisiana, where he livied prior to the war and where Mrs. Senteney is yet residing at an advanced age.
