"Fairfield Ledger", Feb. 4, 1864, Pg. 3, Col. 1

ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE. Robert HAMPSON, whose mother lives in our town, died in hospital at Knoxville, Tenn., lately. He enlisted in the 69th Ill. Inf. Regiment and was in the Army of the Potomac. He faithfully served his country since the outbreak of the rebellion, and at last gave his life. He was a good boy, and his mother will miss his attentions. In her affliction she has the sympathies of the community.
