Capt. P. P. Pullen, Adjutant Fitzgerald Kendall Camp U. C. V., reports the following deaths, the first two being members of the Camp, the other a beloved cousin of Kentucky, his companion and messmate during the war, and true and devoted brother throughout the years since: Robert P. Hancock, a member of Company F, 5th Tennessee Infantry, Strahl's Brigade, Cheatham's Division, was a splendid soldier. His wife died some time before, and he is survived by several children, all standing high in the community. The funeral was held at the Poplar Grove Methodist Church, of which he had been a member for many years. Samuel A. Miller, member of Company F, 5th Tennessee Infantry, Strahl's Brigade, Cheatham's Division, died at the age of seventy-seven years, survived by four daughters and two sons. A number of his old comrades assembled at the home to pay a last tribute to his memory. B. N. Pullen, of Company B, 2nd Kentucky Cavalry, died at his home in Farmington, Ky., Grave County, at the age of seventy-nine years. Out of ten of us boys who went into the war together, only I am left. Cousin Ben leaves a wife and four sons and four daughters. It was a lovely family, but all broken up now.
