Death of the Young and Gifted Ruggles of New York City
The New York Courier renders a long tribute to S. B Ruggles of New York City mourning the death of his son Sona Ratatore Ruggles at twenty seven aboard the steamer Tennessee while traveling from San Francisco to Panama. The piece recounts Ruggles' rich education at Harvard, talents in languages music and drawing, and his ardent desire to see the west before foreign travel. He marched with the Rifle Regiment to Oregon from Fort Leavenworth, then sailed from Oregon to California seeking independence, but fell ill in San Francisco and died aboard the Tennessee on the Pacific. His burial at sea followed a prayer from his mother’s book, now returned to her in her time of grief.
