in the first reserve hospital, Manilla,
P, I., from a fever contracted while
in the line ot duty.
The Elder family has been closely
connected with the history of our
country for some generations past.
Thomas C. Elder was the second
sou of Samuel G. Elder formerly of
Knox county, Ohio, and his father,
Judge Elder, of Somerset, Penn.,
had hye sons serving their country
in the Mexican, civil and Spanish

Dr. William Elder, of Philadelphia,
was assistant to Secretary ot War
Stanton, but ncue of these dis
charged the duties of their respec
tive spheres more conscientiously
than did Corporal Elder the duties
of his office. Letters from his
officers in the Philippines testify
to the nobility ot character ot the
deceased and to the esteem in which
he was held by the members of his
company. In his death they lose a
good friend and Mr. Elder loses a
loving sou whose death he may well
mourn.
