Obituary:
Twas not necessary that he should die, to be Praised Major Henry S. Eggleston died suddenly, of diptheria, at Milwaukee, on Thursday, the 11th instant. He left home on Tuesday morning, in health, except the debility contracted while in service in Missouri. A cold, taken upon the trip down, gave him some trouble, but no so but that he was attending to his business up to the immediate time of his death; and he evidently was not concerned as to his health, having written a cheerful letter to his family on Tuesday evening. Symptoms of a mortal character did not occur until a few moments before death. He died sitting in his chair. For thus sudden a transition from this life to the other one, we have every reason to believe he was prepared. A member of the Episcopal Church, he has been observably attentive to her sacraments and teachings and strict in duty. May his readiness be an example to us.
The family relations of Mr. Eggleston were peculiarly pleasant. A wife, a noble, loving woman, an interesting daughter, of maturing years, attractive in character, and several younger children, growing up around a hearthstone of love and intimacy, have been deprived of the counsel and loving presence of a peculiarly interested and doting husband and father. Christian faith and consolation alone, seems suffiicient to soften such a blow as this to them. _Major Eggleston was born in Vermont, about 1820; immigrated to Wisconsin about 1850, and settled at Appleton, where he resided, holding several important positions in Outagamie county, up to 1856, when he came to Ripon; and he has been a prominent and beloved citizen of our city, since that time. In the summer of 1861 he enlisted in the army- receiving a commissioin as Captain, he raised a company and was assigned to the 1st Regiment of Cavalry.- About July last, his position was changed to that of Major, as which, he served until the fall, when he was compelled to relinquish active duty, seeking to restore a shattered constitution. Long week of suffering, was just being followed by some promise of returning health, when the last sad event of life closes the scene.
The obsequies were held on Saturday, at Grace Church, administered by the Rector and were largely attended. The position of Major Eggleston in the community, cannot be more forcibly expressed, than as by a German friend, to us: "Twas not necessary that he should die, to be praised" --Ripon Star
