Obituary of Charles Malory Bentley
Charles Malory Bently, son of John and Nancy Bently departed this life July 1st. 1862.
The subject of this notice was born April 2nd, 1842. he joined the church at Salem in September, 1856, in his (cannot read) year; although he was young he at once became the devoted, pious Christian, admonishing his young comrades, and talking to his father's servants about the interest of their souls---- At his country's call in (unreadable) he joined the Larmar Confederates, and in June left for the seat of war. And in the army he was one that maintained the dignity of the Christian character. His Captain in a letter to his father (Dr. John Bentley) after his death bears unmistakable testimony to his good name. He says in that letter, "Charley was one of the most moral young men he ever saw; the favorite of the whole company, and loved by all."
He was no less the patriot and the soldier, than he was a Cristian. His Captain, in the letter above referred to says "he was always at his post to do his duty; in every charge he went in front, calling aloud to his comrades in arms,
come on my brave fellows and follow me' " But alas! the day above named , while in a charge, a ball pierced his head and he fell, as only a Christian soldier can fall. in this sad bereavement his parents have lost a loving, noble, Christian son; the church one of her brightest ornaments, and our bleeding country a noble and brave soldier, and none feels his loss more than his humble pastor for it is seldom that it is our privilege to record the death of so noble a young man; but he is gone from the troubles to come. He no more hears the roar of the cannon, or the sharp crack of smaller arms; he no more meets an enemy with fixed bayonet; that head pierced by a ball in the field of battle, now he wears an undying crown of glory. Dear parents, brothers, sisters and friends were it not for Charley, your loss (unreadable) is eternal. P. F. B.
