Obituary
Charles R. Mead, of Hinesburgh, whose name may be found in the list of Vermonters who fell and found fitting burial place, upon the bloody field of Gettysburg, was a son of Wm. Mead, a soldier of the war of 1812, now living at Hinesburgh, and a grandson of Alpheus Mead, who was a soldier in the war of the Revolution. He was about twenty-six years of age and unmarried. One who knew him well, says of him: "With great modesty he was yet of an ardent temperament, and of an outspoken, brave, manly spirit. With singular purity of life, there was no austerity – he was genial, cheerful and most agreeable as a friend and companion."
