Death and devotion amid a Wisconsin family tale
In Beaver Dam Wisconsin August 9 1861 a long narrative recounts a December night when Sue Harville accompanies a minister Mr Worthington home and faces the minister’s spiritual influence during a child’s death at the parsonage. The couple’s bond grows through bereavement and stormy doubts, ending in an April wedding as Miss Harville finds companionship and faith, while the village notes the Wisconsin Second Regiment and praises its courage at Ball’s Run and other actions with Zouave valor and war news from Western Virginia and Richmond.
