James Calvin Buchanan, of Company F (Scotch Boys), 18th Regiment N.C.T., in the 28th year of his age. He joined one of the first volunteer companies formed in Richmond County, more than three years ago. Under the faithful preaching of the missionary who has been laboring for some time in the 18th Regiment, he with others of his company made a public profession of faith in Christ and was received into what is called the Army Church. Early this spring, and a few weeks before his death, he with his brother William, now a prisoner, were received as members, by letter, of Laurel Hill Church, with which is parents have been long connected. He was kindly nursed by a friend who reports him as calm and peaceful, and ready to die. His friend also had his body brought home, and it now rests in peace in the family burying ground. He was wounded through the bowels either by a random shot or by one of the enemy's sharpshooters. He felt he was mortally wounded; but his faith in Christ sustained him. This makes the second son that the family has lost during the present war, and a third is now a prisoner in the hands of the enemy. May God sustain them under these sad trials."
