Hawthorne, Nathaniel
South Danvers Wizard, 5/25/1864, p. 2/6
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE [Obituary]– “This gentleman was born among us, in Salem, in 1807.  He was not a very healthy child, but became a full and intellectual man.  His genius left a proud triumph on the records of New England literature.  He has passed away.  The places which have known him will know him no more forever.  We leave the task of dealing with his literary fame to far more capable hands than ours.  We can only look on and wonder and admire.  We wish only to say a few words today upon the great New England author, as a man and as a citizen.
      Nathaniel Hawthorne was modest, retiring, honorable, benevolent and honest.  The common wail of human misery was never unheard by him.  He never sought excuses to turn suffering humanity empty from his door.  He sympathized with misfortune and relieved it wherever he found it. He was modest and retiring in his deportment, but resolutely and unchangeably fixed in his principles.  His great soul never wavered nor faltered from the great doctrines of the Constitution and Union as transmitted to use from the great fathers of the Revolution.  He was no politician in the common acceptation of that word, but you might as well close up the burning mouth of Vesuvius, turn the current of the Mississippi, or change the sun in his daily course, as to make Nathaniel Hawthorne swerve in the slightest degree from those glorious principles and measures on which this great nation rested in peace and in union and in prosperity for seventy years.
     We have heard his voice and have been consoled and encouraged in our adversity by his advice and more substantial aid.  We have watched his retiring and benevolent soul, and have listened with admiration to his sublime and instructive conversation.  He was mentally sensitive in the extreme.  He never seemed to appreciate the great power of his own genius.
     He once said to your humble correspondent – ‘that his cheeks twinged with red hot blushes when he saw his first literary production in print.’  He has said to us that he enjoyed pleasing excitement in writing, but when he read his production in print they appeared like calico with the colors almost faded out.
     None of earth will miss him in our world more than the humble writer of this.  Although we saw him seldom, yet we knew while Hawthorne lived, we had an unchanging friend.  ‘Whenever adversity overwhelm you,’ said he, ‘let me know it and I will cheerfully assist you.’  He never broke his word.  He never worshipped money.  He acknowledged worth and never suffered it to sink under adversity if he could rescue it.  The Boston Journal says he is 60 years old in July current.  We believe he once told us he was born on the 5th of June, 1807, which would make him 57 years old next month.
     May the Almighty protect his widow and bear her up and sustain her and their dear children in their bereavement and through all the vicissitudes of life, and usher them into Heaven when they die, to dwell with their husband and their father and all the holy angels, through the endless ages of eternity.
     These few imperfect words of tribute to the memory of an old friend, are the sincere feelings of one who knew him well and ever admired his genius – his mighty intellect and unswerving honesty, honor and benevolence.” Signed “H.D.J.”

AUSTIN A. HERRICK – We have already noticed the death of this young soldier, who was killed in one of the late battles in Virginia.  But more than a simple mention is due to the character of this estimable young man.  We are enabled, through the kindness of his friends, to publish the following letter, written by the chaplain of his regiment, which will show in what high estimation he was held by him and others in the army.  It also gives the particulars of his lamented fall.  We learn from other sources that young Herrick was at home respected for the strict propriety of his morals and behavior, and that in the army he was free from the bad habits and vices so common in the camp.  Strictly temperate, avoiding profanity, the use of tobacco in every form, and being always attentive to his duties, he was an example of true soldierly conduct to his comrades:
                               Near Savage’s Station, June 11, 1864
     Dear Sir – You know before now the principal facts concerning Austin’s death.  He lived one hour in great feebleness, but not in terrible pain.  He was probably never conscious of his full danger, as no surgeon could get near enough to tell him.  But no physician on earth could have helped him, as he was shot near the stomach and heart.  Corporal Frank Farnham knows where Austin lies, but the whole region is now abandoned to the rebels, and nobody on earth knows when we could again visit that spot.  I was confined to the wounded in the hospital, two miles from the battle-field, all the next day, and we marched 22 miles away the next night, so that my duties to the living prevented my eyes seeing the graves of the dead.  But boards well marked are at their heads and it is told us that the rebels never disturb either graves or our marks, and these boards remain good and legible two years.  I am now hurrying to get ready for a march. 
     Farnham expects to be home in three weeks and he will tell you all about your dear boy.  It is painful to me to be thus hurried in giving you an account of such a dear good soldier, and more, as your son.  All who knew him loved him; and the associations of my poor brother William with your boy made Austin seem, very near to me.  You know he has been away from the regiment for months, guarding at Division Head Quarters. This gave me less knowledge of him lately than I used to have, but he came back to his company a few days before we marched, and I had a long talk with him.  Of course his great rejoicing was, that his time was nearly out.  Alas, he knew not that all time was so near its end for him!
     I intend to visit you, and many others of our afflicted friends, if the dear God spares me to come home, and then I can make up for the poor scrawl which I am now obliged to send you, because we have orders to march at once, we know not where.  You can write to me freely now,  addressing lst Mass. H. A., 2d Corps, 3d Division, 3d Brigade Washington D.C.
     Farnham will bring you some of Austin’s hair.  And with heart’s love and prayer for his mother and for you all, I must close.” Signed “Yours truly, Stephen Barker, Chaplain, 1st Mass. H. A.”.
