Read More	Orderly Sergeant Samuel T. Cheney The reader can here look upon the picture of one of the heroic patriots of the regiment, whose name will be found on the roll of honor. His life's blood run out on the battle-field of Cold Harbor, where he fell in that terrible charge, and though he fell by his brother's side, who the night following hunted for him, fearing he was among those left wounded and suffering between the lines, and who afterward sought him with anxious diligence, while acting as one of the detail to bury the dead, yet no trace of him, or his body, was ever found. He was born at Holderness (now Ashland), January 23, 1835, and was married in 1859 or '60, to Addie Moulton, of Lakeport, but left no children. He was orderly sergeant when he was killed, and would doubtless soon have won an officer's insignia, for he had shown his fitness for command in many battles before his last. He was liked by all of his comrades for he was a willing partner with them in their sufferings and sorrows, as well as their amusements and joys. The following has been written of him by one who knew him from birth, and loved him like a brother: "He was as full of fun and drollery, with a keen eye for the ridiculous, as a man could be, generous to a fault, honor-able to perfection." See parentage and family record in sketch of his brother, Daniel P. >History of the Twelfth Regiment p604.
